Resolutions

In a recent post (well not so recent since I haven't blogged in quite a while) I talked about wondering if I should learn to love my body now and then hope the weight comes off or if I lose the weight and then hope I love my body then. Well I have decided. I am going to learn to love my body now. Love it now that it isn't the way I want it to be. Love it now when it is the hardest. I think that is the answer. I hope that if I learn to love it now that I will love it more when I have worked hard and gotten healthier.
So my resolution this year is simple (well easier said than done). I have gotten a calendar to hang in my bathroom and each day I am going to write something that I love about my body. It doesn't have to be a big thing, just something that I recognize and appreciate. At the end of the year I will have 365 reasons that I love my body.
I'll admit I am already having stress over it. Tomorrow is day one and I am worrying that I won't be able to think of anything. I'm going to be optimistic though. I am going to look for the good.
Last year I resolved to make scripture study a priority and keep a journal of things I read and felt. I did good for a solid 6 months and then I started making excuses. That was also about the time my weight loss got put to the side. I know that the losing weight and loving my body is greatly affected by the spiritual side of my life so I am going to make an effort to have spiritual time for myself each day.
And one more. Instead of having a goal to lose weight I am going to set a goal to me more active. Whether that be walking, running, taking the kids to the park more often, parking in the furthest stall, or taking the long way around the grocery store I am going to try to be more active.

I'm hoping these three goals will help me see myself better and feel better.
