Weight Loss is Teaching Me So Much About Myself



Who I've come to the realization that my weight loss journey is a direct reflection of the othe other journeys I'm on in life. The same obstacles seem to show up over and over again! A common obstacle that shows its ugly fave more than once in my life is the comparison trap. Feelings of not being good enough or not being capable due to some disqualifier haunt me from time to time. For the past week I've allowed my myself to feel defeated while working out. I've compared my physical fitness to Thera and as a result I've begun to think negative thoughts about my body and abilities . ❌ wrong I know I know better! Some times we all need some encouragement so here's what I'm using to shake off the foolishness...
1. God made me on purpose: He knew all the mistakes I would make prior to me being created and He still chose to make me!
2. Even in the Bible God used people who royaly screwed their lives up (by man's standards) to do His work/will. 
King David... For those that don't know adultry and murder! Look it up its a great example of God's redemption. 

So long story short going forward I am reminding myself on a daily basis that His grace is enough to see me through Anything!!!!!

Silent Killer

From my heart... Being a mental health professional I hear people talk about depression and mental illness all day everyday. I read the statistics and reports about the "system" failing individuals quite frequently, But, when tragedy hits close to home it can be a LOUD  wake-up call! It's hard for me to understand the fact that mental illness is still a taboo thing. I personally don't understand why it's not a more discussed topic, why there aren't enough resources and access to treatment. Here in the US we have option after option for physical healthcare. If you don't like a physician for whatever reason all you have to do is walk across the hall or drive across the street and there are at least 10 more for the choosing. Why aren't there just as many easy options for mental healthcare treatment?  These day there is a checklist for "warning signs" for every ailment out there and I want to be sure that depression warning signs are top of mind...
