I had a huge chuckle when Pete threw at me today..."You're worse than a reformed smoker!!"
He's right you know!
I just want to shake some people and tell 'em.
"Wake up! You're killing yourself!"
"You are beautiful, you are worthy, you need to love yourself!"
" You deserve to be here for as long as you can."
"The world needs you!"
I walked past a beautiful, tender young mother in the shopping mall the other day. She was cuddling and kissing her child. The love just radiated from her. And she was morbidly obese. And I felt so sad for her, sad for all she may miss out on. Sad for the example she unwillingly is setting for her child.
I am going to keep this weight off. I have too, I have seven beautiful children to raise. I tell myself it would be wrong for me, not do everything in my power to ensure I am the healthiest I can be, to live as long as I can, to be the mother they need me to be. That is my motivation, it's also the stick I hit myself with when I think it's all too hard.
