Pep Talk - Received an amazing message

Just had the most amazing pep talk by a friend who had RNY a few months ago. 

I have to share.

The conversation went something like this.

Me: I'm hungry. I want food. I need to crunch something.

Friend: You are okay. Just think It flies...enjoy ur journey to ultimate health n beautifying ur insides..those lungs, liver, kidneys n heart r smiling at you.

What a very amazing way to reframe this part of the journey.

I had to share for those who are struggling because I know those words helped me. 

I had Haggis once in Poulsbo, WA. It was on this big plate, it looked so interesting. But, it was Definitely smiling at me.

I take a Qi Gong class (Tai Chi), and one of the exercises involves smiling at each part of our bodies.  I always smile at my heart, lungs, stomach, liver, etc., because I know how much happier they are now than when I was 449 lbs  

I just returned from a local support group.  We share.  We laugh.  We nod our heads in acknowledgement.  Support group renews me. Tonight, I just might entertain your thought of my lungs, liver, kidneys and heart smiling at me; pretty sure my colon hates me, though.
