I give up. I give up that I can ever have the body of my dreams by dreaming about it.
I give up. I give up that I can ever have a strong body without exercise.
I give up. I give up the denial that haunts me every every day.
I give up. I allow myself to fail and say "Hm. That was interesting." Then I move on.
I give up. I give up making myself self sabotage.
I give up. I give up sugar. Most of the time. It does not serve me.
I give up. I give up eating when I am not hungry.
I have to give up these previous ways first before I can move on to the next step. I am ready to see all the times and places and feelings I choose out of because they are scary or unknown or I might fail. Before when I felt them I chose to shut down and eat. My eating habits are disconnecting me from my true feelings. My true feelings may come up and tell me that something hurt or embarrassed me or I failed. So I shut them down.
The problem is when I decide to shut something down then I shut down the good stuff too. I have sacrificed so many good honorable true feelings along with my pain.
So when I am scared to see or trust or feel then I can remember that some of these feelings might be terrific.
And all of them are seen by God. I know that I am known better than I know myself. So I choose to trust too. And really, after all, when I say I can't see something because it might hurt too much or feel too uncomfortable I am choosing to not have faith. I am saying in essence "I don't trust."
Yuck.
So I choose to trust.
I choose to exercise.
I choose to feel.
I choose to cry if it is time.
I choose to laugh if is time.
I choose to be who I am created to be.
Love this :)
