Heres some thoughs you might relate to!
I have no desire to be skinny! I have no desire to wear a size 1 or 3 or 5 or even a 7, dont want to be a 9 or a 10. I dont even want to worry about a number, however numbers are such a huge part of society i have no choice. So when i get where I wanna be i guess that will be the "size" i will wear. I am not identified by a number on a scale or a tag inside a pair of jeans, i am not identified by how much weight i have lost or gained, I am identified by my character, it stands alone!
I want to be healthy, i want to be fit, I dont have to be what someone else is to be healthy. I can jog, i can walk, i can work out on the eliptical for an hour and a good incline! I can swim laps, i can lift weights, I can fit in a tube in the lazy river with my grand daughter snoozing peacefully on my shoulder, I can get on the floor and play with my grands, i can walk the dog, i can chase the dog lol, I can do crunches, i can walk up and down steps, i can start my day without a ton of meds, I can wear pretty clothes, I can stand for the WHOLE time we do praise and worship at church without needing to sit coz my legs hurt, I can walk in the sand at the beach for miles if i want to, i can climb the steps of the lighthouse, i can walk holding my head HIGH because i am content with who I am!! I absolutly LOVE my life and would not change a thing!
No im NOT a size 0 or a 1 or a 3 or a 5--i am not saying thats a bad thing at all Im just saying its not for me and I dont feel bad about that in the least!
Just my thoughts for the day-i guess i was feeling deep!

Hi Renee,
I totally understand!
When I'm all done with my weight loss; to some people I will probably still look like I could take off a few pounds. But that's where I WANT to be. How freeing it is to enjoy being average sized and healthy that we don't wish we were anything else.

That's wonderful, and I totally agree. Someone should put your words to music so we can all sing it out for the whole world to hear!
