Yesterday was an interesting day. I went to my weight management meeting a little late because I got held up by a parent who was telling me about this minister who preaches an unorthodox message about family. I was so interested in this man's views that I stayed 30 minutes following my session to hear what she had to say about this man. Anyway, I went to WW to tell my leader that next week would be my last meeting. She had a fit (not a bad fit, a good fit). She was so upset about me leaving. She wants me to reach my goal weight and be a leader. This was one of my original goals, but my approach has changed. How can I lead under their policy when I want to incorporate other things so that people can really be set free from this monster of compulsive eating. I still feel like I have reach the maximum level with this program. I don't feel that I need to go on any further after the "walk-it" challenge, but I will continue to think about it.
Also, yesterday, I made a business decision that would have backed me into a corner when I first started out. I had so much courage, boldness and stood my ground against one that I felt would have destroyed my establishment. My mother, sister and husband were so proud of me for doing this. My sister said, "Mia, you are growing skin like mine". My mom said, "Mia, I am so proud of you for standing your ground and not letting someone try to take over something that you are in control of." Fred was found laughing yesterday. I asked him what was so funny and he said, "Two years ago, you would have bent over for that person, but now you were able to tell them to "Hit the bricks! I am proud of the growth that I have witnessed". He is so proud of me. Sunday, he bought a card that expressed his love for me and how proud he is of me. I read the card and cried. Sometimes you just need to hear that. One of my former co-workers congratulated me on the completion of my SFN certification. It is just good to hear that your accomplishments and growth is appreciated.
Fred is a little sad this week. His ex-girlfriend died from complications of Lupus. He really liked this girl a lot and I pray for him to find acceptance and closure in this situation. My uncle is in the hospital with cardiomyopathy. He is only 56 years old. He has had a difficult time with addiction through the years. I am asking you (world) to join me in praying for his full recovery and deliverance from addiction.
Well, I had better get started with this day.
