POST 16

Today I awoke, thinking that although I am eating what I want, when I want it, I'm still not fitting into alot of my clothes.  I've still got a larger-than-I-would-like body and loads of cellutlite on my butt.

Although eating what I want, when I want, has not given me the type of  body  I've desired for so long, it has actually given me something much greater:

I feel ok.  I feel acceptance for who I am and what I look like today.  I feel relief that I don't have to do anything to change my weight.  I don't have to make myself run, or go to the gym.  I don't have to diet or force myself to eat a certain way. 

I'm feeling so much freedom and relief, as though I've jumped off a running wheel....one which cost me alot of energy, yet never got me anywhere.

So today, I'm celebrating a life worth enjoying.  I'm honoring the me that wants to eat too much cake on my birthday, and the me who loves herbal tea and sunflower seeds for breakfast.

I'm honoring the me that loves myself even when I eat too much, knowing that all the parts of me AND all my choices, are ok. 

Hip Hip Hooray, I'm ok today!
