My Journey Continues

It's hot......this is the exact reason I don't like summer anymore. We used to get afternoon rain showers that would cool things off nicely and the days weren't too brutal to tolerate. Well not anymore....the land is parched and I am roasting but I don't think I would taste as good as a chicken.
So in my research on PCOS I found an herbal supplement produced by a doctor and a laboratory in Boulder. I have been watching it and researching it for a couple of years now. After trying Cinnamon for a few weeks and knowing how much better I felt I decided to try the Insulite program. I have now been on it for 3 days. I don't feel any different yet but I do realize that it may take a month or more before I start seeing results with it. However one of the things they said will happen is you will develop headaches and that is proof that it is working to balance your hormones, I have been getting those since I started but they are supposed to only last for a week or so. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
So lately I have heard the same sermon 3 different times from 3 different pastors in less than a month. Is God trying to tell me something? I think so! It was about how toxic your tongue can be. As I listened I started thinking about what I have said in the past. I have talked about how hard it is to lose weight, how hard it is to live with this disease, how hard it makes my life, how hard, how hard; notice a theme here? I also thought about things I have said about my husband, my marriage, my children during frustrating and difficult times and how things wouldn't turn out positive until I turned out the positive words. There is a saying that your life is what you make it and I think it holds true for what you say too. Your life, your body is what you say it is. I think everyone that reads this should try it. Take a day, a week, a month and try really hard (because it is really hard to do) to stay positive, even when faced with something difficult, frustrating or even just mildly irritating and see how it goes. I even changed the way I drive, if someone cuts me off or what not I say to myself "Lord bless that person and get them safely to their destination" and you know I don't find driving nearly as annoying as I used to. Leave me a comment and let me know how this little experiment goes if you so choose to participate!
Until next time make sure to stop and smell the flowers, enjoy a beautiful view, or hug your family but make sure you do at least one of those things!

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Ever wonder why someone came up with the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I have lost count the number of times I have been asked that question. Its interesting that as kids we dreamed big and believed in our dreams. I don't think I have ever heard someone answer that question saying I want to work in a call center. I had big plans and dreams when I was a kid, then reality of the working world struck. Then the dreams came back when I was in college earning my oh so important associates degree. I was so sure that would take me far. Even now when I think about what I want to be, I have a never ending well of ideas and plans but nothing ever takes shape. Instead I go to work hoping to make ends meet each payday and wishing I didn't dislike my job as much as I do. Oh well, I must be patient because in the end I know it will work out beyond my wildest dreams. Although some mornings I get up wishing I had taken the safe route and gotten my teac...

Part 2

It wasn't fair, why did Lucy have to have such a gorgeous brother. He was about 5'9" with jet black hair and eyes the color of chocolate. He had the kind of body that just begged to be looked at, and that wrangler butt was an entity all its own. How was he going to show Lucy and her that they could be good for each other? It wasn't Tess's fault Lucy had woke up late and missed the auction, but Lucy could hold a serious grudge when she convinced herself that she had been wronged. Instead of being mad at Tess for getting a horse of a lifetime, she should be glad that he is still within her circle. She should become friends with Tess, after all they seem to be a lot alike. They both turn heads, Lucy with her black hair and green eyes, and Tess with her red hair and striking sky blue eyes. Not to mention they are both a couple of spitfires, more then an average man can handle. His momma was the same way though, so his daddy raised him to know how to handle wo...

Why?

I sometimes wonder why God created fat people. I have struggled with my weight all my life and know of lots of people that have too. What advantages are there to it? You have to pay more money for bigger clothes that are harder to find and don't necessarily look like what everyone else is wearing. You can't sit comfortably in movie theaters, amusement rides(some rides you can't even get on), airplanes, etc, etc. Probably the most annoying thing about it is the teenagers and young people that feel it is their job to point out how gross you are compared to the general public and they do it in a loud obnoxious way so as to draw attention to themselves. Most days I can feel pretty good about myself when I look in the mirror. I can say I am kind, good hearted, intelligent, funny, and do anything for those I love. But somedays I sit and daydream of the things I could accomplish if only I were thin. I don't even have to be super thin like the models....I would be happ...
