On Being the Heaviest I've Ever Been
At 33, I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been.
Heavy with blessing, heavy with gratefulness & joy & hunger for God’s Spirit in my life. Heavy with desire for healthy relationships & healing in my own mind, emotions, & will. Heavy with compassion for our nation. Heavy with creativity!
Did you know you can be the heaviest you’ve ever been and still
🌿 feel proud
🌿 feel sexy
🌿 be hungry & enjoy food
🌿 be active & healthy
🌿 have kind thoughts towards your body
🌿 post pictures of yourself
🌿 buy & wear cute clothes
🌿 be absolutely loved
🌿 deserve love
🌿 live without shame
🌿 not have failed, let go of yourself, or be some ugly version of yourself?
Reminding myself of ALL these things today. “Charm is deceitful & beauty is FLEETING, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised!” -Proverbs 31:30
That gal in the mirror? I have so much honor, compassion, admiration, & thankfulness for her! 🙌🏻 And here’s a reminder for your holidays:
HEALTHFUL LIVING is so much more than numbers to measure yourself by. It is the health of your mind, your spirit, your home, your relationships (to others & yourself), your body (hydration, movement, sleep, colorful natural foods), creating, cleaning, and doing whatever job you have in this life with honor, worshipping, giving.
So whatever voice in your mind that doesn’t sound like that? Tell it to & look in the mirror & say a thank you for life.
