Today has been a craaaaazy day! I ended up doing something completely different from what I had planned so my schedule got thrown off and I’m trying not to stress about it. I might be temporarily down, but it is only a small bump.
It is such a warm and beautiful day here that I am trying to forget those things and enjoy the warmth and sunshine. I’ve been thinking a lot about all the new things in my life and how grateful I am for the chances I’ve been given. Here are a few things that have been on my mind…
LOVE STORY
So, I mentioned a last week that I was dating Kepa. Well, today he has an awesome post up that is basically our love story from his point of view. Which is awesome because he has a much better memory than I do and I always love stories from the boy’s perspective. So go read that if you want some warm-fuzzy-makes-you-wanna-say-awww material for your evening. I <3 it. I <3 him.
BODY PARTS
Anyone that knows me really well knows that I get obsessed with body parts … especially when they are new to me. I’m currently obsessed with my collarbones, hip bones, and calves. See, when you are obese you don’t have these body parts. You just don’t. They are buried deep within the body underneath layers of fat. These are body parts that you aren’t aware of until those layers of fat melt away and they emerge. Now I can feel them pushing to get out and be known. Now I can run my hand across them and I know they exist. I can look in the mirror and see the faint definition that let’s me know they are in fact part of my body. It’s an amazing thing to see. It is almost as if I am emerging from underneath the fat. I’m finally breaking free and coming up to the surface while I’ve been here at Green Mountain.
Do any of you do this too? Are the new areas of your body that emerge as you become healthier as amazing to you as they are to me?
Because I’m pretty much in awe over here of all my newness. Second chances are amazing things. There is always another chance if you choose it.
