I do want to share with you a card that I received from “the friend.” This card epitomizes those feeling we ALL have when it comes to losing weight and how we deal with them as individuals!
Yes, this card did bring a smile to my face! The friend called me from a dressing room this past weekend too to tell me that all of the clothes she was trying on were too big and to thank me for the past 7-8 weeks of workouts. This made me happy for her! The truth is, I haven’t really done anything – SHE has done all the work! Yes, she complains and b1tches (and did I mention b1itches) over the workouts and getting up early, but she gets up and she works out anyway! If all I have to do is listen to her b1tch, then I have it EASY! That is why they make a volume control button – you just nod your head and turn it up…
Oh, don’t worry – she won’t get offended because she has turned that button up on me PLENTY!
When you have successful results it is very easy to appreciate your hard work, but when you add training your daughters into the mix and their results are not as “appreciated” as they would be if it was you or I, then it really puts a downer on the whole process. So, THANK YOU “friend” for reminding me that gratitude and appreciation IS behind your success and hard work!
I’ve learned that you waste your time and energy “desperately wanting” something for someone else. You get to a point where you throw your hands up into the air, take a deep breath and tell the Universe that “I will succeed anyway” with or without them. You acknowledge that you have done all that you can do, but ultimately it is up to them to change their thinking. Then – you let it go…
Because remember, everything and I mean EVERYTHING is possible in our own lives! Kitty came home yesterday excited about how she kept telling herself that “she made the team” and she performed wonderfully! She was practicing with the A team from last year and she FELT that she was a part of the team already! Tonight is the last night of volleyball tryouts and I KNOW she has made the team!
If you haven’t already, I recommend to EVERYONE to go buy or borrow the book The Secret and read it slowly! It is magnificent!
And for Kitty - I bought The Secret for Teens! I encouraged (made) her start reading it last night! Whatever works right?...I'll try anything.
