Losing weight and being healthier always begins somewhere, and it always requires at least a subtle shift in mindset. The "Starting Again" mindset is the most important attitude to develope, because few people succeed at monumental tasks without setbacks! Having just defended my dissertation, I might even say that this is an understatement.
So, TODAY, I choose to eat healthily and get at least thirty minutes of exercise/activity. I can do that. I know what I need to do to be healthier and lose weight. I also know I don't want to pay anyone to be my friend through the process. The friends I have, they have eyes. They can see my roundness. They are happy to support me in my efforts to be healthier. I need to own my efforts. I am not ashamed of who I am, nor am I ashamed in my desire to make changes to my lifestyle.
Now I think I need to choose a saint or two to be the patron saint of my efforts. There are a few choices, and I need to gather information, collect and write some prayers, maybe a Novena. This weightloss, excersie, and healthiness effort can also be a fun way to improve my prayer life!
May the prayers I pray today be magnified by my healthier choices, shedding earthly desire and rising with the incense into the heavens.
