Don't Need The Fat Anymore!

It occurs to me that I am using the extra girth on my body to show my sadness and stress, to justify aging and not using my voice, and to avoid my life.

When I became a grandmother, I also celebrated winning a body building contest. That was 16 years ago. My life was full, fun and prosperous.

Sixteen years later and following a lot of losses through death of loved ones, a romantic breakup, and taking on the care of a sick grandson, I was convinced I was an old woman who had to settle into a life of resignation, despair and limitation. NOT!!!

I have a lot of life in me, people want to hire me as a consultant, and my creativity is off the hook. Need I say that romance rules in my life (when I let it) and when a man wants to go, he wants to go. It is not about me.

I am looking at what is next for me in all areas of my life and my life is full.

The beauty is, I feel full on the fast I am on. I am on water, mixed with a little juice....not the master cleanse, however. I am committed to staying on this fast until my body weight is set.

I love the mental clarity, energy, confidence and peace I am reconnecting with.

As for body building....I will strengthen my muscles for fitness. Not so sure about competition. The thought is enticing!
