Ramblings from a 40 something year old woman https://www.wholesomebellies.com.au/
I woke up this morning feeling rather determined. I wake up motivated most mornings but today something different stirred up inside of me. You see, I’ve been slowing growing (and not because I’m pregnant 😊). Let’s be honest, I’m growing because I can’t stop eating. I’ve blamed Covid-19, because, haven’t we all. I mean all that quarantine and spare time on our hands, what’s a girl left to do but cook and eat!
I’ve blamedmy husband for bringing home chocolate. I mean it is his fault I’m eating chocolate every night. I’ve blamedwinter because it’s simply too cold to get up and go walking or go to the gym. I’ve blamedmy business because my passion is food, right? So, I’m constantly recipe creating, cooking and obviously eating all my creations.
And then Itried to convince myself that the scales were wrong, perhaps my clothes hadshrunk. I questioned was my size so important after all. And then I’d tell myself, “Well, you are inyour mid- 40s, this is a natural progression to middle age, right?” I’mlaughing as I type this! Five monthsof this going on in my head and I’m exhausted.
So today Imade a choice. Either embrace the changingshape and size of Fiona (believe me that was definitely an option) or make a changethat was important to me. No more noise inside my head. No more questions and negative self talk. And this isthe reason that today I woke up determined. Determinedto do what is right of me.
Determinedto focus on my health and wellness. Anddetermined to stop making excuses for what I know to be the truth. I know I’mnot the first one to struggle with weight and body image. Our body is an incredible temple and wereally need to be kinder and gentler with ourselves. Well, I know I do.
So today, Iam making changes. Not becauseI want to see a magic number on the scales. Not becauseI worry about what people will think about my body and size.
Today Ichoose to eat less and move more. Today Ichoose to get fit and strong. Today Ichoose to feel more confident in my own skin. Today Ichoose energy over exhaustion.
Today I choose love. I know it won’t be easy. I know I’ll want that chocolate at the end of a busy day, and that delicious, big bowl of pasta for dinner. But I know that if I put me first, I’ll always choose what’s right for me.
