Week 2 weigh in day Monday Jan 14th

Lost- ZERO

..........  Monday when the scale read minus zero  my initial reaction was frustration.........  That day was emotionally interesting.  I went through a wide range of emotions but by the end of the day I still had made wise choices and didn't give in to temptation.

What is a number?
How can you quantify Quality of Life?
How do I measure success?
How does one become a lover of perseverance?

Success=
Two weeks no fast food
Two weeks of water
Two weeks of vegetables
Two weeks of better sleep
Two weeks of no snoring
Two weeks no anxiety
Two weeks of clothing not as tight
Two weeks of discipline
Two weeks of OBEDIENCE

I feel like a wild horse that needs to be tamed.

This picture may seem random but I'll explain.  This photo was taken September 2012 as me and bestie help a dear friend and her daughters get ready for her wedding. I am on the left sitting down while combing her daughters hair. My bestie is armed with a can of hairspray!  Her favorite weapon of choice. Ha!  It's so much fun being a girl.

I remember what I felt like that day.  A stuffed sausage.  But a stuffed sausage having so much with fun with the girls. Laughing, Putting on Make up, Curling hair, Pinning hair, Doling out encouragement, love and laughter, Receiving encouragement, love, and laughter.  It's rare that I see a picture of myself from behind.  And I post this picture as a declaration that I CAN'T GO BACK!   I WANT TO LIVE IN FREEDOM!

How can I still be a wild horse and yet be bridled?  There is something so invigorating about a wild horse running through the fields free!   In order for the horse to be used however, they must be tamed.

This is my season of taming the free spirit, wild horse within. 

 

This picture is to remind me that despite feeling like a stuffed sausage, I have lots of Love, Beauty and Laughter even while weighing over 300 pounds.
