Ok so I've been missing in action for a few days.
Seems no one has ticked me off lately. Imagine that.
However, I did have coffee spit all over me last night but it was so funny that I could hardly get mad. After all, when you see someone come so far out of character to laugh that hard....it's completely NOT a matter of anger or agitation. (he knows who he is....)
So I had to REALLY think, who has earned the blog for the day? Who in this world was making me mad or agitated this week? Who has earned the Prize of Purturbed? Well, let me tell ya, it's an ongoing struggle for me to stay happy when I feel bombarded with these good intentioned "friends and family" that seem to think that all the hard work I've done is invalid. They seem to believe that if I drink this juice and take that pill and wear that garment, I can look fantastic in mere minutes (probably 15 minutes as tight as those things look...it would take that long to get it on).
While I appreciate that 9 months ago I would have needed that, I have now learned the value of hard work, discipline and stick-to-it-tiveness. I won't be paying over $100 for a garment to suck me in. I won't be paying several hundred dollars over the next 6 months to buy your weight loss products while you sign up people under you to make you more money. MLMs are NOT for me. It's nothing personal, really, so please don't take it that way.
So............THANK YOU to you all who have made it clear that my workouts and my disciplined lifestyle is not enough. THANK YOU to all you who have made it clear that there is no need to eat healthy, I could just take that juice. THANK YOU to all you that have helped me understand that I can sit on my backside, slip into a $100+ garment and look 2-3 sizes smaller.......Wait.....It just hit me!!! THAT'S the key. You L O O K 2-3 sizes smaller. That's so funny......
I AM 4-5 SIZES SMALLER!!!! And I saved money instead of spending it. I saved hundreds of dollars by NOT eating so much!!! No need to LOOK like anything I'm not. I really AM smaller and I really WILL stay this way because it's not about a mask, it's not about deception for me. It's about real, true, honest self love and God Esteem that I have gained during these last 9 months.
You know......that brings up another point. Ahaha In 9 months a wonderful thing can occur. We know 9 months is the gestational time for a fantastic miracle to take place. From the first dividing of a single cell, the incredible duplication of chromosomes and DNA to the miraculous birth of a little life...........9 short months. That has happened to me!! In 9 months, a new miraculous life has been created. I'm better, Smarter, Smaller and So much Happier.
So again (disclaimer time) if you are selling or wearing these items, just please pray and be sure you are doing it for the RIGHT reasons. I have heard that it's great support for your back. I have heard that the juice is full of antioxidants. I have heard that the vitamins are good for you. That is fantastic!! Just check your heart. I think we ALL (me included) need to be sure that what we are spending our time and money on, and the things we are promoting are things that would please God. HE is the only one that REALLY matters anyway. And one last thing.........
Can't we all get along???
