Default Acceptance

One of my doctor's tells me to listen to my body. He says he never met anyone who is more in tune with their body than I am. For many years, I just shut down and shut it off and found myself back there doing it again.

When I was using, the body would manufacture the pain and the craving to tell me I needed more. Food is a drug, just as much as the prescription drugs I use to take for my migraines, aches and pains, and what was diagnosed as a 'nervous' disorder.

When I eat a healthy diet, more importantly live a healthy life style, everything falls into place. I got to a stage of where I didn't care and went back to abusing myself. The goal of my new program is to get back a healthy life style.

When I got down 145 lbs a few years ago my son thought I was dying. He had never seen me below 160 lbs, today if i don't have a lot of swelling, my body seems to feel comfortable at 170 even if I am not. Guess I need more acceptance and I won't stay stuck. Acceptance of where I am at, add some gratitude for what I have, and surrender into my God's Care.
