Do you love yourself?

Question of the day...do you love yourself? Is what you are doing right now good for you? Is it loving yourself? Not in a sick way but in a true honest love for yourself. Honoring, respecting myself! taking pride in!!

I just had a conversation with my sister in law...who asked me do I love myself!!! As I am reaching for the second choclate barvarian cream donut....are my actions showing love to myself? Her thoughts are that people who have weight issues whether, overweight or under weight..........deep down there is a self hatred....... So it got me thinking.....do I love myself? I have always considered my self as not much fazes me, I can come accross that I am happy despite my weight or looks......but if I let myself go and think about how I really feel then I get depressed! Like the day I weighed my self and was so shocked that I had gained 15 lbs. I was depressed all day! I can come acrross confident, but deep down am I really? I totally know I have come a very long way with my self esteem, and I am so thankful.....but know I have been thinking how do I lose weight? I am an emotional eater.....if I am bored I eat, if I am stressed I eat, if I am sad or depressed I eat! I also drink tea!!!!!! But now that I am finally admitting this...what do I do?

My sister in law also talked about whether my desire for weight loss shouldnt be a one time goal, but a lifetime change. Rather then do the diet, do the workout,....start asking mysef what do I like to do, what are my passions? Is what I am doing loving myself? So I have decided that instead of a gym membership....I am gonna go golfing more often..I love golfing, and tennis why not play tennis?? Racquet ball is super fun tooo...Lets be creative, lets be fun, lets do what we love to do not what we think we should do...... some people might love the gym, some people might love swimming........let find out what we love to do and do it! Be come more active doing things you were made to do!!

Well I have alot of thoughts I am processing....it will be a different thing to do....but I think I might be on the right track! Another thing in doing this is I might have to do it on my own.....meaning Trev isnt a big tennis fan. we love doing things together...and thats ok........its a change, but it will be good. Keep ya posted on my thoughts .....
be blessed
