When you wake up every morning, make a decision to be happy. Surround yourself with people who support your goals and healthy lifestyle. Get rid of the negativity in your life. Negativity drags you down and gets in the way of your persuit of being a happy, healthy person. Decide to be positive and keep moving forward.
Love yourself as you are right now. We are worthy of being loved regardless of how we look, how much money we have, how successful we may be or how talented we are. We deserve to be loved just because we exist as human beings. Remember, love starts with us. We need to treat ourselves as we would treat a beloved friend.
Take the power back from food and don't let it rule your life. Use food to nourish your body rather than medicating yourself with it. Eat with your health in mind! (I am constantly struggling with this.) We control food, it doesn't control us!!!
Our bodies are amazing machines. Take yours out for a test drive by increasing your activity every day. You will be amazed at what your body can do. Whether you walk, swim, run or dance, try to enjoy the feeling of moving and simply being alive.
Remember, You can do it and come through it, just start by taking the first step.
