I Had a Dream

balloons3.jpgIsn’t it true everyone seems to want what other people have?  For instance, the red head wants to be blond, the heavy girl wants to be thin, the unpopular girl wants to be popular.

I think its time to accept who we are as people.  Yup, maybe the majority of us here at BuddySlim struggle with weight, but hey things could be worse right?

I just received some bad news from a co-worker at my husbands work.  The niece of this friend has cancer.  This precious little girl is only 5 years old.  The other day while I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for my husband to get out of work, this friend brought me some pictures.  She showed me this sweet baby girl, only 5 years old struck with Cancer.  See Cancer had taken many  of this family.  I just cried like a baby.

Seems we are always complaining about something (I know I am anyways) and if you stop and look around so many other people have way bigger problems then we do.

Soooooooooooooo after a good cry, and a good talking with myself I now have a total attitude adjustment.

I had a dream…………..to be healthy……………to be thin……………to be happy……………..and for everyone in my life to have the same wishes filled.

In order to become healthy and thin it is a journey, a rather long journey which we are all on.  Some of us are further, some just starting, just remember wherever you are on your journey, I’m HERE CHEERING you on!!!!

YIPPEE!! Lets be happy for life, lets enjoy each day to the fullest!!

At the restaurant the other night I picked up this placemat and brought it home, It had several quotes that I really enjoyed.  Thought I’d share with you.

Oh and by the way, last night for the first time ever I had my husband take my measurements.  I just closed my eyes and stood there in complete humiliation.  I weighed in this morning and was sick to my stomach at the results.  Today starts a new day for us all, lets make it the best ok?

     Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you.    :)
