Issues!

Okay, so we have this great lesson on Sunday about avoiding crisis living aka procrastination and really I haven't had much of a problem with this until this week!! What the heck!?! I've found myself doing things at the last minute, mindlessly wasting time, and eating without regard to what is going in my mouth. Why is it that I somehow feel better that Oprah has come out and stated she can't believe she is in this place again with her weight- that's right the big 2-0-0!! I mean really if Oprah can't do it do I even have any hope?? I'm seriously fed up with the whole issue and just as I was feeling quite sorry for myself and my poor hopeless food issues and horrid body image I went with the young women tonight to a nursing home to sing Christmas carols to their residents. Let me just say what a complete fool I am!! Okay, so I'm now almost forty and at least that many pounds overweight but I have a body that works!! I can walk, play with my children, and even go work out and outlast some pretty skinny girls:) I have wasted so much of my life worrying and feeling so utterly helpless about this constant struggle and tonight I realized how utterly selfish and ridiculous I'm being. So, somehow I will reprogram my brain to appreciate being healthy, being able to move, being able to participate in physical activity, and start looking at food as something other than my enemy! Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I have years of thinking errors to correct!!!!!!
