XP - MONTHLYVERSARY
4 years 2 months ago today................ my highest ever weight recorded in my Cardiologist's office was 327 lbs..... I got married the first time weighing 98 pounds ... my weight when I arrived in America.... Today I weighed 123 pounds with my clothes on....
I celebrate each day... each month ... that I no longer have sleep apnea, nor hypertension, nor GERD, nor dyslipidemia, nor diabetes.... I celebrate ... even when all hell is breaking loose around me I celebrate .... because as Fini says.... there is joy and misery in equal parts in the world ... I choose joy and I make it happen to me ... happiness and sorrows are transient ... but JOY ... is that internal state that no matter what ..... let NO ONE nor ANY CIR****TANCE steal our JOY....
hmmmmmmmm these lyrics are ringing in my ears .... it is my song as a believer ... feel free to replace wherever you need with as long as there is life... there is hope....
My lyrics as a believer...
Trouble In My Way
Trouble in my way, I have to cry sometimes.
Trouble in my way, I have to cry sometimes.
I lay awake at night, but that's alright;
Jesus will fix it after while.
I celebrate each and every month on my journey for life ... today I woke up ... and decided to wear my Marc Jacobs jacket with a high waist pants ... jacket is Size 2 and the pants are size 0... I love taking pictures of my smaller tags ... because I remember the day when I was fussing because the 4 and 5X were just too tight and they were not making them right....
my sprained wrist felt a little better ... I had problems sketching because I needed the use the hand more than just placing an easel and slapping paint on a canvas ...
My journal collage.... A picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches at away.....
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EVERYONE!!!! MAKE JOY HAPPEN!!! IN SPITE OF ALL THE CHALLENGES ... WE ARE ALIVE AND WE CAN DEAL ... even when it does not feel so good sometimes ... the thing is getting up and doing something ... and not stay down ... until it passes ... CAN YOU GUYS TELL I AM ENCOURAGING MYSELF TOO? I made it through the night and I AM HAPPY just for that!

..."there is misery and joy in equal parts in this world. Misery will find us if we make ourselves a target. Joy is just waiting for us to acknowledge it. I find joy every day in all parts of my life and I just let it happen to me. Misery is there but I'm sure as hell not going to invite it in".....

That picture a day is in your face accountability. Its too easy to say we've made it and become blind to how easy we can loose it.
Keep sharing and spreading that JOY MsMartita.
