There's Always Hope...

Howdy faithful HH'ers!  Have you wondered where in the world I've been?  Never fear, I am still here; and more clear then ever!  Check out the re-vamped, "What are you hungry for" along the left hand side of the page.  I think it more closely defines my mission, and what I do! 
I am gearing up for my favorite time of year; FALL is here, and I am embracing all that it offers...  Today, I am focusing on what I do right, rather then what I have yet to do.  Could you use some of that?  Do you believe that what you focus on can affect your reality?  I can often fall into the glass is half-empty syndrome, and suddenly life follows.  I am 23lbs. below my heaviest weight right now, and boy have I been OBSESSED about that reality.  I have been totally depressed.  But there is always hope...
Of course I want to lose the weight, but what I want more than ANYTHING, is to feel freedom from the cycle of this disease, called food addiction.  I want to feel healthy, and strong - active and playful.  And today, just for today; I will move forward by focusing on what is right in my life, the positive choices I am making, and my potential for success.  I have spent so much time hiding out with the shame of having regained so much of my weight, and really - I am just punishing myself.  I didn't put my life on hold before I lost the weight the first time, so I am committing to LIVING my life right now, as best I can.  TRUST that the rest will follow...
Gratitude tip: Tonight, before you go to bed - write down 5 things you are grateful for.  I challenge you to do this for one week, and see how things shift.
