Taking a chance on me

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me ~ ABBA

I have decided to take a chance on me. 

After my epiphany the other day that I AM WORTHY and something needed to change I called my girl at MRC and made an appointment.  Even though I had some issues the last go around I was successful with the program unlike any other I have ever tried.  And believe me I’ve tried just about every one! A pow-wow with plain talk and I made the decision to go back on program.  This time I am making a promise to myself --- REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS!

   

No matter how much weight I am able to successfully loose I am going to remind myself this isn’t a competition.   This is for me. If I make it a competition with anyone or anything else I doom myself to failure.  Been there, done that.   I’m taking a chance on me.

I began in earnest Friday and went for an early weigh in Monday to get myself back in the habit.  I was greeted with big smiles by the girls, a two pound loss and a normal blood pressure reading!  I felt great.  Yes, it is only 2 out of *insert number here* but hey, I was glad to see the number go DOWN for a change.   Tomorrow is my next weigh in and I am going with a positive outlook.  This is about me getting back on the road to being healthy. 

This week also saw the beginning of my kiddos’ band camp.  They have been working hard and having a more balanced and healthy menu has really been a benefit.  

I know this isn’t going to be a path of sunshine and lollipops the entire way.  There will be hills and struggles but I’m worth it.  My kids are worth it. 

I changed my mind about how I was living.  I am first in line for me.  I’m taking a chance on me.

Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. ~ Ecclesiastes 9:11
