Independence Day

I awoke early and was able to take my long Saturday walk.  It felt great and I felt so empowered.  I listened to 2 great podcasts, I got my heart rate up and I was feeling awesome.  Then I tried on my shorts, nope that won't work.  I put on my trusty Capri pants, no way!! Talk about letting the air out of your tires.  I realized then I am kidding myself on what I need to do to get my weight and body image under control.  I have been walking which is great, but it's not enough to get me where I am comfortable with this body.  Either I accept where I currently am, which is where I have been miserable for 3 years or I do something about it!!!

Today I am declaring my independence.  My independence from feeling bad about my body, my independence from food, my independence from too tight clothes.  There is no reason why I should feel this way.  I have to be honest, this is going to take much more effort on my part, but there is no reason why I can't make this change.  I don't want to feel like I have this morning, feeling empowered to feeling self loathing.  Not fun! So today I make that change that I so desperately want, I am empowered and I can do this!
