Thick or Thin
I am learning that size really does not matter. It truly is a waste of our precious time and thoughts. My two little girls have not noticed one bit that I have gained 20 pounds in the last year and a half. To them, I am Mommy-thick or thin. I am currently at my heaviest of 168 pounds and a few chins. As I am beginning to peel away the layers of my self, I feel as though I have already lost about 10 pounds of anxiety, guilt, and depression. I am feeling more beautful every day. I am starting to love this person I am finding again. The person who has been hidden away in the darkness of anxiety and depression.

Krista,
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and your family right now. It's amazing what we know now about ourselves that we never would of dreamed possible 15 years ago! Know that in your quest you are not alone. A prayer that has helped and continues to help me through is this:
God grant me the Serenity to
accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to
peace; taking as He did this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things
right if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this
life and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next. Amen
Be strong and have faith in yourself. You are an amazing person. The one thing I remember about you as we were growing up is your contagious laughter...and always remember that laughter is the best medicine sometimes!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing that prayer. I have always loved that one as well. Through this all, I am still laughing and enjoying my children everyday. Luckily, my sense of humor is still there. I am bringing it out more and more everyday. Thank you for reading my blog. I really appreciate it. Please leave a comment whenever you feel. I had forgotten about that name J-fer. I loved that and we had so much fun together. Glad you are doing well. Krista
