I know it’s been a while since my last post. The holiday time has taken up all of my time. So, recently I figured, tis the season! I’ve taken a backseat to worrying about my eating, and weight. Good idea? Not really. Stress relieving? A bit. One thing after another has had me stressing left and right! So, of course, I’m a stress eater! While I actually have accepted and adjusted to my current weight, I don’t want to remain this way forever! I call it my mommy cushion! Who wants to hug a mommy that feels like a board? I never would have! So this way my daughter can be comforted by my squishiness! Also, another reason to not feel guilty about my eating! This isn’t one of those posts where I say, “The holiday times can be difficult, but you should still watch how much you eat! Don’t over indulge!” It’s a post to say, sometimes, we need to sit back a take a breath. Stress and worry this time of year can just add to weight gain, and not eating is just going to make us extra cranky! I’m not saying eat your heart out! I’m saying, enjoy the blessings God has given you! Deal with your mommy cushion, muffin top, thunder thighs, and flappy arms for a month longer. Take in all the delight and happiness this time of year can bring! Let this be your gift this Christmas! I don’t know about you, but body peace is the greatest gift I can give myself right now. Come New Years, I’m sure we’ll all have our resolutions, but let that be Januarys problem. Enjoy being you, for just 24 more days!
