Valentine's Day ... Today love yourself


Everybody who wants to lose weight does it for different reasons.  You want to fit into your skinny clothes...You want to find a man/woman...You want to wear a bikini...You want to be healthy...You want to stop being ugly....WAIT A MINUTE!!!!  No!!! You are beautiful the way you are.  You cannot be defined by your scale.  At no point in life does a number on a scale become a trigger for your beauty.

If you don't believe me, think about a skinny person you know.  Is she more beautiful than you?  Kinder than you?  A better mother/wife/girlfriend/person than you?  I bet not.  She is skinnier than you.  That is it.  She might not even be healthier than you.  If so, the hospitals would not have any skinny people in it...Think about that one!

On this journey to lose weight and get healthy, I first had to come to terms about why I wanted to lose weight.  I had to realize that I am a pretty cool person.  That I am not a bad person because I am morbidly obese.  I just need help reaching my healthy weight and staying at that weight.  And admitting I needed that help was the hardest.  After I got over that hurdle, I realized I loved myself.  I just didn't love the impact the weight had on my life.

So today my friends, before you love anyone else, LOVE YOURSELF!!!!
