There have been so many days so many months and so many years that I have just sat around in my pajamas. Or some comfy shorts just being lazy. I would do the necessary things to keep the house some what decent but that was about it. When I take kids to school I don't get out. When I pick them up I didn't get out of the car. Up until spring I never got out of the car. I sat in there in my pj pants and scratched off lottery tickets and ate a candy bar.Back in March I started this program called GOLO!!! For the past 6 months I have became more social. Instead of sitting in my car eating and gambling I have been getting out or walking to the school and talking to other parents. I've started out kind of slow. I slowly talk to a new person like every couple months haha.
When school was out I actually went to the PUBLIC pool. That is when I really started getting social. I made some awesome friends who have been such a great support on this journey. The high school kids who worked there was absolutely amazing my kids made life time friends with them all. I also made friends with an awesome Scentsy lady!! Her husband was my youngest sons baseball coach. She is a hoot!! But if I hadn't actually gotten out of my house this past summer I wouldn't have met these great people. I know now I have missed out on so much life these past 10 years.
When summer was over I kept on being social. I walk some days if it is warm to pick kids up. If its not warm or it's to warm ha I will get out of the van and talk with a few other moms. One is Amy. Her little baby is the cutest little fella. And Of course my friend Angela!! I also occasionally get to see my high school girls from the pool.
So I got dressed today because I got out!! I am coming out of my shell. I am me again!! I want to look as good as I feel. I want all the people who are here encouraging me to carry on to see just how thankful and happy I am to have them in my life.
So I will close with a little advice. If you stuck and just sitting there wasting for life to pass by because your over weight or depressed or whatever is going on get up. Take life back and own that shit!! We are not alone ever!!! We can and we will succeed!! And I will own this journey 100%
Excellent. Keep loving life!
