I am happy.  Things are great right now for me.  I am so excited about my life that I can hardly sleep!!  With my great job with OH, my coach training, my coaching practice, teaching the Basic Bariatric Coaching Workshop that I wrote and now an instructor with Bariatric University, I feel so fulfilled in my career. 

My husband and sons are great.  My son that just started junior high loves it.  He is happier than I've seen him in the past two years.  For some reason, middle school wasn't his thing.  Now, he's thrilled with school again and rejuvenated.  As his mom, it makes me so happy to see him thriving as a junior high school student.

I reflect on things regularly.  I like to see how far I've come in my personal growth, appreciate the changes I've made in my life.  It also helps me when the calm waters are no longer calm due a storm in my life, I can trust that it will pass and there are lessons in life to be learned from storms.  I can also see how things that I perceived as awful or not as I want them actually were a good thing.  In some way, I learned valuable life lessons, things about myself, stretched me to grow, and brought me to where I am today.

It has been a challenge to know that whatever happens in my life, I'll be okay.  Especially, I'll be even better, stronger without the crutch of emotional eating.  I'm enjoying the joys of today and prepared for anything that may muddy or stir up the calm waters.  Thrive rather than feel like a victim of food and emotional eating.  You are stronger than anything you can eat.

Thrive!!
