"When walking through the 'valley of shadows,' remember, a shadow is cast by a light."-- H.K. Barclay
There is nothing like getting a good look at yourself in a full-length mirror to strengthen your resolve to lose weight! I usually only see my face and a little part of my upper body when I look in the mirror at home. But I wasn't at home this weekend and I got a good look at myself in a much larger mirror. I was really shocked at how heavy I had gotten. My rolls even have rolls...Yikes! This was a pretty dark time for me. This was not a good weekend for me. I had a lot to eat and exercised not a bit.
I will still press on toward the goal of losing weight, though, especially now that I have seen myself in that mirror. It actually wasn't a full length mirror either, but a full-width mirror. I think that made it worse, but I can't be totally sure. Maybe it was better because I couldn't see my calves!
Well, I know one thing is certain, I am going to work harder at getting rid of this fat, but I am also not going to let it define me. I am more than just the fat person I have become physically. We all are more than our outward selves.
Be good to yourselves and to one another.
