feedmysoul

I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.
  • Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me.
  • It is time to feed my soul not my body.

    • . : About me : .


    Name::michelle
    From::victoria, Australia
    I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

    THANKS FOR HELPING ME

    Well I have just come home from the funeral and I am glad that it is over. It was a beautiful service with lots of laughter which is what she wanted. They even played Robbie Williams, Angels. Not bad taste for a lady of 89. I read my letter and said a few other things and I am going to pat myself on the back because I stayed in control and did her proud. Afterwards some people came up to me and said "that is exactly what we all think." My mother behaved herself Jodie, although her Dh didn't. Anyway I gave her a kiss and got her a sandwich afterward. Then my sister and B-in-law went to visit my dads grave. The sun was shining, the gardens were beautiful and we know Brenda and dad are at peace.
    Last night I started to panic and tried on clothes to wear. I have a new dress I have been saving till I am skinnier and thought I would wear that. Ebony said "do you want me to tell the truth? It makes you look curvy." Meaning it clung over the wobble bits. Well I couldn't wear that. Tried on lots of clothes and settled for a navy pinstiped suit. I have never fitted into the skirt. But it did. Ebs commented it was very business like. But I said that is what I am comfortable with as an image. Anyway went to see my ma-in-law before the funeral and she said how nice I looked. After the speech my sister said how I looked like I was on the Board of Directors and that I spoke like it as well.(She was complimenting me the way she said it.) And that is my past look, the one I like and feel safe with. Much better than the frumpy, overweight OLD me.
    I want to say a big thankyou to you all. I believe you actually gave me the strength to be strong today. I cannot believe the things I put in this journal because I have always been such a private person. I did not feel alone today as I could feel you all and your good wishes. Thankyou.
    Now unfortunately I have to go to work. (wearing my professional business suit of course)
    Love to you all.
