It was about putting yourself first and taking care of yourself before you can care for others. I don't think I really have a problem doing that, but after listening to others talk, I feel blessed to have the most caring supportive loving husband ever!!! I want to take a moment and thank you for being so awesome. I love you so much. Sometimes I get caught up in life and forget how lucky I am. I also have an amazing family and the best friends ever. I'm serious when I say that you guys are the BEST!! I am blessed to have all of you in my life. (P.S. That is NOT the homesickness talking)
I love you all!!!
As I tell you, or try to tell you often.. I am the luckiest kid in the world to have the family and friends that I do. I get caught up sometimes and forget that, but when I snap back to reality, i remember just how much I love my life and someone will always have it worse so I should just shut up. It was good to talk to you tonight! Brandan and Tristan made salman with mango salsa, and this killer spinach salad. We missed you though. Tristan has a kitten that I cant wait for you to see!! It's the cutest thing ever! Anyways, I love and miss you sooooo much and will see you soon! Work hard and push yourself for the next week! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy friend Kim always says, "We can fill up the cup of others, if we forget to fill our own." It's so true, too.
ReplyDeleteHaving a great support system is key. I remember in WW meetings, hearing other women/men discuss how they didn't have supportive spouses-or people at home who would help them stick to their plan. They would 'demand' their regular routine meals-or would "push" food on them out of their own desire to maintain status quo. It always made me feel so lucky to have Mark who was always behind me 100%-and awesome friends who didn't push me to do things they knew would undermine my desire to live healthy.
I think hearing how other's struggle with their support systems can be a blessing for us to recognize how lucky we are!
Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy yourself and keep kicking butt, girl!
XOXO
Dude... we CAN'T fill the cup of others. Typos suck.
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say how nice that your comments are, they make me feel good. Then let me say that you are what guides me and keeps me doing what I can. I love you and I always thought that when you love someone you would do all you could to support them and make them as happy as you would want to be. I wanted you to be as happy with yourself as I am with you and it sounds like you are getting there. Miss you this much, see you soon and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think that you have a really big support group going on here with all of your friends and family that are following you on your adventure.
