I saw a house for sale today and the small sign above the realtor's standard yard sign read: I'm gorgeous inside. Thought about that sign for the rest of the ride home. Food addiction leads to fat which is worn swaddled around the body in full view of everyone. In this country fat is interpreted as laziness, slovenliness - certainly is not regarded as attractive. While the outer shell may be unattractive, the inside might still be gorgeous. I know lots of round people who are delightful, kind, thoughtful and interesting people. But if you think of the inside in a different way - the obese person is riddled with all sorts of unattractive symptoms and syndroms from heart disease to diabetes. So while I'm working on what the public sees on the outside, the better result is what is happening to me inside. Because of the lean proteins, veggies, fruits and water - I'm pretty close to gorgeous on the inside!
Went swimming today for a long time in very refreshing june lake water. Didn't get my walk in - but in yesterday's walk - big news! - I ran part of the way. Me! And I liked the way that felt. So first thing tomorrow, sneakers on and I'm walk/running!
