As my body gets smaller, my heart, mind and soul clear like the sun breaking through a foggy day. So much of me was taken up with the onerous job of ignoring my growing body. It took a lot to divert my attention from this body I was trapped in. Last April I turned around and confronted my demons. I looked at myself square in the face and told myself, 'It's time for a change You have been so healthy and strong, even while carrying an extra 50 lbs. Im going to nurture and honor you for the health you have managed to give me in spite of myself. You deserve to be loved and honored throughout this process.'
There is so much more to the process than the actual loss of poundage. There is a lightness of heart mind and spirit, an optimism about the future, and a confidence that was not there before. There is also peace. I am no longer at war with myself.
Suddenly I have the energy to clean my house. I find I want to have things in order and clean. This was something I was also ignoring; the state of my house. It was just cluttered as were my thinking processes . It took a lot to ignore that elephant in the living room. In fact there was an elephant in every room. And the elephant was ME!
