Doing the hard things

At church this past Sunday, the minister's sermon really spoke to me.  She talked about leaving our comfort zone and doing what is hard for us, but needs to be done.  At first, I thought about my job, and advocating for the people I support, even if it doesn't make me popular with others.  Then I realized that following my plan and striving to be as healthy a person as I can be, is sometimes out of my comfort zone.  I don't want to pass up eating something, I don't want to make the extra effort to move more, etc.  But, I know that, if I want my life to be one in which I'm living life, not just existing at 300 lbs., with terrible health problems, then I have to do those hard things.  It is difficult, and a struggle, sometimes moment to moment, but for today, I choose to do those hard things.   Mary

Don't you love when something like that happens in your day and you just feel like you're on the right path? 

Thanks for sharing that! And way to be brave and do the hard things. This isn't easy. it's great to have a reminder that it's so worth it. 

I do!   I almost didn't go Sunday, as I wanted a morning to just kick back.  But my DH and youngest were going, and I felt I needed to be a good example, and I got what I needed.  Funny how that happens.  Mary

Thanks Tracy!
