I Resolve to...

...Not sabotage myself emotionally or allow others to do it to me.

You know what I mean, we all do it now and then.  You are having a great day and then something goes wrong.  Be it the rude thoughtless comment from someone at work, or the crazy hectic driver flipping you off because you are doing the speed limit on your way home.  Then you have that excuse to eat something that will make you feel better, at least for a short time.  But in the long haul, it just adds to the problem, it puts one more pound on, makes you think less of yourself because you thought you had control and you don't.

No more am I allowing these "sharks" to make me think less of myself.  Less of my driving abilities.  Less of the 120% I give at work.  Less of the member service I give to my people using my program.  I will remember each day what a success I was, pulling each order accurately and on time.  Finding the products someone left in the steel and getting it dropped.  Taking pride in the fact that I am one of the few who know our club inside and out.

No more are those dangerous speed demons running me off the road and flipping me off like I'm the one causing the problems on our highways and at the gas stations because they don't know how to slow down and enjoy a quiet drive home.

I  will not eat and eat and eat to make me feel loved because some stranger thought I was in the way.  Or some "*coach" thought they needed to make me look stupid to make them look good.  I am deserving of more, from them and myself.

I will continue to follow my whole food eating lifestyle, removing the pain from my life and finding more and more to wonder at each and everyday.
