I was looking back at photos from our trip to B.C. in July 2008 and I was struck by how I felt then and now – much the same. I was also struck by how little I have actually done to improve my health. Although the trip was a highlight, my physical self was not. These words came to me this morning as I struggled with a headache (again) and feeling blah.
Time to Stop These Negative habits!
Do I like feeling
headachy
tired
fat?
NO!
Then why do I do what I do?
eat junk
not exercise?
I want to feel
energized
healthy.
Then stop!
Change!
NOW!

Great sentiment! Good luck on making some changes.
I have certainly been there and still am today!! For all of us changing our habits is extremely difficult! Look for little wins and build on them! One step at a time is what it takes.
That is so true Todd. I am trying to do just that.
Make small changes so it doesn’t hurt so much. Be kind to yourself and love yourself.Best of luck on making the changes you want to see.
Thanks Alice. Great advu\ice – especially about loving oneself!
It’s easier to add a good habit than to stop one you don’t want to continue. I’ve been gradually adding activity and food choices that make me feel better – in small steps. Over time, they’ll add up to a new lifestyle, and crowd out those less desirable habits in a more organic way.
I love that you made a poem out of this – and I’m here, cheering you on!
I’ve been able to add several good things – but it is like the one step forward, 2 back for some things. Thanks for the support and the kind words. They are apprecited.
That’s life, sometimes….a blend of up and down….forward and back. Since I am on a similar journey, kind words to you are also kind words to myself, so we both win! =D
Such a lovely thought – love the idea of a shared journey!
A great reminder for us all, Miss Beverly! Thank you for sharing in the 30 Words! Enjoy the day. Erin
