So.... This has been a VERY long and busy weekend, which is why I haven't written or posted anything. My brother got married...well....had his wedding ceremony!! All info on that will come in another post.
So, I had to go to my weight watchers meeting on Friday instead of Saturday due to going out of town. It was different but I actually had fun going. We were supposed to bring in recipes to share with each other. I got so many different ideas....that I will eventually try! At this meeting I was recognized for losing at least 5 pounds since I my start date!!! I lost 4.6 pounds last week. A total of 8.2 pounds in 2 weeks!!!! It's so amazing to see and feel this transformation happening!
As I told you all, I am going to reveal things that are revealed to me as I go through this journey. Something I realized this past week is that, it's okay to do things by myself! Yes, I said it. It's okay to have fun and explore alone. When I think about MY perspective of my life, I remember ALWAYS trying to "fit in" with everyone. I felt like a loner during most of my life, whether childhood or adult. I could never seem to be cool enough to really be in the "in" crowd. I was a likeable person. But was never really invited to things with those who I considered my "friends" at that time. This was those from school and church.
I realized that I've always tried to "act" like others or do what others would do. I would try to not be me so much that now I'm grown and have NO CLUE what I really like. I would do things that others liked to do to please them and keep "friends". I never thought or asked myself, "What do I want to do?".
Last week I walked the legacy trail by myself, of course not the whole trail but 2 miles. I really enjoyed it! The weather was beautiful. I had my phone and headphones to listen to music and I walked my 2 miles. I don't like to be in the wild or nature much but it was so calming, reassuring, and literally BEAUTIFUL!! Calming because the wind was blowing peacefully every now and then, the sun was shining but not too much, and everyone respected each other on the trail as people passed each other. Reassuring because I was able to view nature and how God provides for each of the animals, fields, etc. Also that I was by myself, doing something for myself, and enjoying it. And beautiful because it just....was/is.
Walking by myself was one thing I did for me and shows me that, I am loving me more and more each day. This may not seem big to others, but it's HUGE to/for me. I am single and have no children. Who else (right now) should I be pleasing or getting to know besides God? ME! Whenever the day comes that I meet the one God has for me, how will he know what I like or don't like if I don't know?
So, to sum up this blog. Get to know YOU if YOU don't know you. Whether you are single or not. Do things for YOU and sometimes it's best if you do those things ALONE. BE YOU! #LEARNINGTOLOVEME #LEARNINGTOBEME
