New Year's Resolution

This year I am happy to say that so far I am still working on my New Year's Resolution. My only goal this year was to start eating better. I joined a gym and started eating a little bit better. Despite what people might think, even if I am gaining weight, I have always worked out. But when I was trying to get prego I was trying so hard to be gentle with my body that I did not work out hard.

I realized lately, that I am getting healthier and stronger both physically and mentally. I have been reading this book, Women, Food and God and I had this epiphany. I have hated my body. This body let me down. I have tried to be healthy all my life and when I was ready to get pregnant it failed me. I hated this body. I have always had to work on my weight and in high school I had never wanted to be one of those people that complained about my hips, my butt, and belly. I just wanted to work on it. But what I had never done is shut the voice inside my head that was saying those things to me which also made me hate this body.

So part of my mid year goal is to love my body with all of its challenges. So far this year, I have willingly given up dairy. I am working on enjoying a piece of candy vs eating the whole candy bar and then wanting more later. I want to also start spending more time doing yoga and meditating. I am truely grateful for a healthy body.
