Love yourself, first and foremost.

I'm going to share something I found while trying to understand a great lesson i had this morning and in my search I came across the following. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did. TYML

LOVE YOURSELF

Love start at home. Where you are right now.

You are quite possibly a miracle, and you don't even know....

Who else has come though what you have?

It might have......killed.......a weaker person.

Look in the mirror...............mirror look at yourself<....................

Look in your eyes. There, looking back at you, see it?  Look quickly, it's fleeting!           

.............. ......................................................zooooooooooooom!

Who is that?

How long has it been since you really looked at yourself with eyes of love?

Not looking for wrinkles,or nosehair, or hair where it's not "supposed" to be.

Looking a little deeper, and oop! Wuzzat? That looked like my Grandma! and Dad? Is that you? And look again.......>

there.............>uh huh! Yeah! Thats YOU!

The one you remember from grade school, When you got that >bad< haircut and cried. The kid that wanted  to grow up to be??????? An Astronaut? A Doctor? Right in there! Take a little time to say hello in there, and remember who you >really< are, ok?

And when you get back, have an ice cream cone, or skip a rock across a duck pond, or hug a dog, and remember.........................

Love Yourself

Blown Away

WOW...I am blown away by your blog.  I love this blog from yesterday!  What a great notion...LOVE YOURSELF...LOOK AT YOURSELF WITH EYES OF LOVE.  My goodness....what a journey we are on.  This journey to health has opened so many memories, so many lessons, and has created a doorway into the universe to keep exploring deeper than ever before.  This journey of health has improved me so much at so many levels...and I know it was destiny that put you...my fitness buddy in my life at the precise time so that we could share this journey.  I thank God every day for allowing me the blessing of having you and your family in my life.  I am loving every minute of this experience and I am loving the lessons, the awakening, the person I see in that mirror!

Stay Strong, Stay Focused, Keep appreciating who you are and with loving eyes keep searching to see the full and complete you!

Good Stuff

I like that! Thanks for sharing!

Good for you!

I love that you are using hair cuts as your reward for losing weight! You seem to be a very loving husband, father, brother, and son! You are lucky to have your family so close and are able to go camping and on great vacations with them. Is your wife joining you on your weight loss journey? I'm just curious, because my husband and I did it together and without each others support, I don't think we would have been able to do it. We've both reached our goal: he lost 52 lbs in 6 months and I lost 47 in 9 months. Maintenance is HARD. Harder than losing.

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck!! Love the k9 buddies!! I love all animals. I have a border collie and a pug. And god, does the pug need some guidance!!! LOL

Take care!
