I just had to let go for a little while. My parents have been visiting from Missouri, so pictures were taken, and you know what? I look pretty damn good. I don't think I have that perception in my mind, it was good to have pictures to help me really know what I look like.
I've just relaxed my strident focus on losing weight this week, and the weight gain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have to find a way to be able to live without constantly depriving myself. I just downloaded Dr. Jenn Berman's "No More Diets" app. It's about being kind and gentle to yourself, and following lifelong guidelines to permanent weight loss. I listen to Dr. Jenn on Cosmo Radio every day, and if you ever get a chance to hear her, do it, she is fantastic. I've learned so much from her about life and relationships and now I'm going to let her help me with weight loss. Throughout her advice is a common thread of being good to yourself, loving yourself, and with that, love and respect will flow through you to others who are deserving of it. Wow, lots of love on Valentine's Day!
Have a beautiful day, and even if you are not "IN" love, there is someone who loves you...
Here is a picture of me with my dad and stepmom at Fountain Hills yesterday...
