WILLLOSEIT's CalorieKing blog
Thursday, Sep 20 2007 - the truth we live with
View WILLLOSEIT's food & exercise for this day
somedays
are easier
than others
not rocket science,
just a fact of life
we start every day
with high hopes
and anticipation
and expectation
that this day
will be a good day
full of happiness
and laughter
and love
nothing can
get in your way
no not today
but then
things happen
you run late
you feel stressed
by the things you do
and the things
you can't get to do
and the people
who stand in your way
because they
have their own worries
to tend to
why should
they think about you?
so we go about
our busy days
trying to stay positive
trying to accomplish
the mile long list
of chores
and stores
and people to see
and we get so tired
and so
the bad choices
creep in
because the bad ones
are the easier ones
to make
eat on the run
no work out today
who has the time
to do things right
day after day
but i am not defeated
i am just tired
of trying to be perfect
because i am not
i am tired of working so hard
to move the needle
on the scale
and it creeps downward
so slowly
you know
when you just
want to scream?
why me?
god, why me?
it is a burden
i have born
my entire life
never quite
thin enough
never quite
athletic enough
never quite
healthy enough
to feel good enough
to accept
the way i was
to accept
just who i am
to be looked upon
to be looked at
with admiration
and desire
so day after day
i wake up
poised for success
tolerant of mistakes
fearful of a failure
that might set me back
completely back
to the dark place
where i don't see
a healthy me
where i don't feel
i can keep this up
and i wish it
would just all go away
it being the need
the desire
the sheer hunger
to be fit
and trim
and happy
with the body
that houses the soul
of a woman of power
and grace
every day
is not always
a good day
but it is the best day
i can give
to myself
when i stay positive
and think good thoughts
and wear the badge
of who i am
with honor
and take my breaths
deeply and decisivly
and walk my walk
with hands to the sky
accepting who i am
giving all i have
doing all i can
to be my own
champion
inside
and out
yes, today
may go
either way
but i will keep
my head held high
my thoughts only kind
my dreams only possible
and take the good
with the bad
it's the truth
we live with
and embrace
with open arms
to make it
through another day
and i will make it
are easier

You so hit a note with this poem...."it is a burden
:y:
i have born
my entire life
never quite
thin enough
never quite
athletic enough
never quite
healthy enough
to feel good enough
to accept
the way i was
to accept
just who i am
to be looked upon
to be looked at
with admiration
and desire"
........I think that's so crucial in our journey - to look at ourselves with admiration and love. In spite of all we may do that's not perfect, to "keep my thoughts only kind....my dreams only possible....and take the good with the bad..." Thank you, Grace!

You just described my month of Sept. It has been trying to bring me down and defeat me, and some days I have let it, but each day I dig in and try. We will win this Grace. WE WILL!!!!!!!
