Emotions

Do you ever wake somedays and ask yourself why me? Why do I have to be the one that goes through difficult situations. Snap, poof, back to reality. Quit feeling sorry for yourself pick up the pieces and move along and smile. This is how I feel somedays but I remind myself that things happen in our lives for a reson and our past is what creates who we are today. Yes, being overweight for years took a toll on my self esteem but finally this year I have learned to embrace my body and love me for whom and what I am. Everyday, I struggle with emotions of feeling bad about myself and then I want to turn to food and that is even after I had gastric bypass (we have to remember our brain was not operated on) but then the light bulb comes on and I snap out of my mood and realize to be thankful for who I am and to continue to strive for what I want in life. We are going to face obstacles every single day, that is going to try and fade our dreams but we also are the ones that can break through obstacles and continue to reach high and go after what we want. My world has been rocked most of my life and I bounce back and I have a network of friends that always have been my cheerleader. It is important to have a strong support system in whatever we do in life. My world was just rocked again a couple of months ago and what a rush it has been. This time when it was rocked I did not think that I was going to be able to move on but here I am again. I am picking up my pieces and continuing to strive forward. I do not want to be left behind in this life or do I want to result back to using food as my security. So I am facing my demons head on and fool force ahead and there is nothing going to stop me from reaching my dream in life. That is why I am calling this segament EMOTIONS. As indivduals we are full of emotions and it is how we express those emotions that make a difference in our lifes. I am choosing to take my emotions to help others. I feel I have been placed on this earth not to problem solve for people but to be there for people to help them out when they fall. Not only blogging is going to help me but I feel it may be able to help someone and to let them know that there are others that go through the same thing every single day. It is all about Mind, Body, and Soul. Rather you are spiritual or not, I feel everyhting goes back to your soul. So let's live this life and work at it together and not apart. Lets not rely on food or other addictions to find our happiness. Our happiness comes from within and if you cannot be happy and love yourself, you will not be able to love someone or what we have been given in this life. I was driving home today looking at the leaves and kept thinking to myself man it is cold but then it dawned on me sometimes we are like leaves that fall off of the tree and we are crumpled and then we blow away feeling sorry for us and then once the dust as blown off we are a new soul that has been lifted and molded in something beautiful. Strive to Be The Best of Who You Are!!
