My new focus...
Dec 10, 2009
My new focus is on taking it slow. I have been so consumed about everything that is changing in my life that I have overwhelmed myself at times. I decided today that I need to change my focus. First, I need to look at where I am today. What I mean is that how far I had come. This time last year I wouldn't even believed that I am where I am today. That I would have had the surgery and would have come so far emotionally as I have.
Yes, I do have marital issues and they can not be settled in 1 hour or even 1 day or 1 month. Our marriage has lasted over 4 years and it can not be stopped or settled in a matter of weeks. The problems that both my husband and I face need to be treated with care. Secondly, we have a daughter that is completely affected in many ways by what is happening. I will be able to work on our marriage when I have the finances so it will be months of saving, working, and then the packing. Not to mention the emotional part.
So I am telling myself to not stress, to be happy with my success so far. To be grateful for dropping down to a size 14. For being able to enjoy walking, jogging and for having energy! I need to remember that this is my life-long journey to be enjoyed everyday, to be cherished and not to be in a rush. I need to slow down some now and take the time to smell the roses and enjoy the new me.
