One Day At A Time

Sooo... Tomorrow is Monday...

I'm not even gonna say it. I'm just going to pretend like it's any other day, and simply try to be a healthier person. All this talk about diets has gotten me to the point where I can no longer stand the word. I think diets sorta imply that you are momentarily going to the extremes for a temporary gain (or in better terms a loss).

I have tons of clothes in my closet that I simply don't wear. It's not that I don't like them, they just don't fit. I go shopping and instead of buying what fits, I buy what I hope to fit in a week, a month, or whenever I finally stop stuffing my face with "comfort food". I think I need a lot of comfort, just not in the form of food. Everyone has their sad life story and I'm not exempt...and no not concerning the weight issue, life has its own agenda of getting me down sometimes, and though my relationship with God is a lot stronger these days and this usually keeps me sane and content, I'm not too familiar with happiness yet.

These past two days, I've eaten less, and also worked on my psychological outlook of myself. It's easy to wake up in the morning and think about all the things that are wrong with your life, but if you wake up and choose something that you like about yourself, and something that you have going for you, the outlook on the day becomes a whole lot brighter. I've also smiled more, whether I feel like it or not. Not like a complete fool walking around the tough streets of NY with a giddy smile on my face, but I've changed my oh so familiar expression of sadness to a face of contentment.

Well I'm off to have some strawberries..(healthy yum! lol) then relax as this beautiful Sunday winds down. I'm actually looking forward to the better me..I just gotta take one day at a time...One God given day at a time.
