Today I also experienced the exhilarating feeling of being lighter and enjoying a trip to the ice skating rink. I skated for 2 1/2 hours in total, mostly at one time, and felt so alive. It was fun being able to balance on a thin blade whilst feeling uplifted, positive and invigorated. My self esteem was lifted to the roof as I was able to join my girls on the ice and skate with them unlike the 10 obese people I saw sitting on the benches surrounding the rink just watching. I wanted to ask them why they were not on the ice. After going through my own thoughts of when I was heavier, I have realised that our brains have a lot to answer for. Our moods, thought patterns and lack of physical activity leaves our body in such disrepair that we are unable to "save" ourselves from a life of junkfood, bad moods, negative thoughts and couch potato syndrome. If we all just did some physical activity, our lives would be so much more enriched. I can honestly say that having been down the road to wellbeing, my life has been greatly enriched by a good diet, exercise and positive thoughts. I no longer wallow in self pity or hide myself in oversized clothing to create optical illusions that I am thinner and I certainly get off my chair and couch more. I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched a television program. I am now more likely to be out exercising and enjoying being able to move rather than sitting on the couch being lazy. How times have changed! I encourage each and every person who reads this to get moving this week, even if it is only for 30 minutes, just so you can experience that invigorating feeling of adrenaline running through your body, you will not be sorry you did it.
Peace out,
