Pick me upper

So its been a while since I have updated. Life has been crazy. Justin and I both are working and in school full time. We start our day at 6:30 and get home between 7-9pm. And we have had about 4 weddings in the last month...so ill post more later with lots of pictures later when i have more time. but.....
I just wanted to add this to my blog, becuase it helped me tonight.

Tonight I went to a little girl game night and it was way fun. But, there was this one girl who made me kind of feel a little down about myself. Every other word was about her weight and how she has lost weight, and only will share a cookie, ect....you get the point.. It put a tamper on my self. but i came across this on someones blog and it made me feel better....

1. Your body is extraordinary- begin to respect and appreciate it. 2. Create a list of all the things your body lets you do. Read and add to it often. 3. Become aware of what your body can do each day. Remember is it the instrument of our life, not just an ornament. 4. Create a list of people you admire: people who have contributed to your life, your community, or the world. Consider whether their appearance was important to their success and accomplishments. 5. Walk with your head high, supported by pride and confidence in yourself as a person. 6. Don't let your weight or shape keep you from activities you enjoy. 7. Wear comfortable clothes that you like and that feel good to your body. 8. Count your blessings, not your blemishes! 9. Think about all the things you could accomplish with the time and energy you currently spend worrying about your body and appearance. Try one! 10. Be your body's friend and supporter, not its enemy. 11. Consider this: your skin replaces itself once a month, your stomach lining every five days, your liver every six weeks, and your skeleton every three months. 12. Every morning when you wake up, thank your body for resting and rejuvenating itself so you can enjoy the day. 13. Every evening when you go to bed, tell your body how much you appreciate what it has allowed you to do throughout the day. 14. Find a method of exercise that you enjoy and do it regularly. Don't exercise to lose weight or to fight your body. Do it to make your body healthy and strong and because it makes you feel good. 15. Think back to a time in your life when you felt good about your body. Tell yourself you can feel like that again, even in this body at this age. 16. Keep a list of 10 positive things about yourself- without mentioning your appearance. Add to it! 17. Put a sign on each of your mirrors saying, "I'm beautiful inside and out." 18. Choose to find the beauty in the world and in yourself. 19. Start saying to yourself, "Life is too short to waste my time hating my body this way." 20. Eat when you are hungry. Rest when you are tired. Surround yourself with people that remind you of your inner strength and beauty. -Margo Maine
