I have been looking over some of my past posts this evening. It seems like I am getting away from my original focus. The weight loss and the eating plan. Perhaps I have strayed a bit as this journey has seemed to have taken on a life of its own.
Something happened yesterday to remind me of what the point of this venture is. It has been on my mind today and I must admit, I am amazed with myself.
My weight loss has seemed to have slowed down over the holidays and lately I have been feeling a bit discouraged.
I went shopping for last minute school things yesterday, and my mom went with me. I had to get some new boots and I despise shoe shopping. (Yes, I am really a girl. I'm just a girl with children's size feet and it is hard to find shoes in my size.)
I also needed some gloves and a hat to keep me warm while I am wandering around campus. My eyes landed on a brightly strapped cap with a pink and white flower on it. I had to try it! I put on the happy little hat and found a pair of bright pink gloves to to along with them. My mom looked at me and started to laugh. She said I looked cute in the hat. (I am normally not a hat person.)
As we were leaving to head to find boots, the hat and gloves in a small bag swinging from my hand; it dawned on me that I had just purchased bright colors. My wardrobe has been mostly black, gray and dull colors the last few years.
It seemed like the larger I became, the darker and baggier my clothing became. When I was young I favored bright colors. I have found my way back to bright happy colors.
I feel like I am breaking a shell that was hemming me in. As I am becoming happier and healthier again, the bright colors are coming back into my clothing.
I like happy. Happy is good! I haven't lost my way at all. As a matter of fact. I think I am finally on the right path after wandering in the dark for far too long!
wonderful!
