You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?'
George Bernard Shaw
We all have ideas of how things should be. I have ideas of how things should be, too. When they are not that way—the way I think they should be—I get discouraged or tired or depressed or sad or struggle through an array of emotions as vast as any ocean. I am sure "experts" would say that this is part of the reason that I am overweight, that this is part of what makes me overeat for "emotional" reasons.
That may or may not be true, I don't know. I am not an expert. I only know what I think and what I think things should be like.
I think we all struggle with this to some extent. We all want things to be our way and when they are not, we get upset or some other emotion. I will tell you that I am not as bad as I used to be. I can stand to not have my way once in a while now. But some days...Watch out!
Seriously, though, I think a little "tantrum" and "whining" are good for a person from time to time.
In a different light...
It is Day 40 of our Be A Loser With Karin Contest. When I think of 40 days my mind automatically thinks of things from the Bible like Noah and the flood or Jesus being tempted. The number 40 signified an important amount of time in the Bible. It may not have been a literal 40 days or years or whatever span of time was recorded, but thinking of 40 days, years or whatever is a long time.
I am just thinking of 40 days, that is a long time. It is more than a month. There are 39 more days left of the contest. That is almost 40 days. There is still a lot we can do on our way to a slimmer, healthier us!
Hope you had a great day!
Be good to yourself and especially to each other!
Karin
