How strong are you…

   There is always something to test your strength.  Granted, we are all weak in different areas, but I have learned over the years that, you must also keep your spirit strong.  What good is it that only your body and mind is strong, or at least you think that it is, until something or someone comes along and test that strength.  Let’s take food for an example, we all have a weakness to some type of food, mine just happen to be chocolate. Each day it is a struggle, especially when I am in a food store, where there is always some type of chocolate around.  

   Right now, I am working to better my eating habits, because of chocolate, I now must check my blood glucose levels every day.  So now I am working to limit just how much chocolate I eat now.  My mind is all willing to do it, but my spirit is still struggling to limit my intake. So how do I strengthen my spirit?  I am not that sure, but I do believe is not to totally cut out the things that makes feel good, but to limit the times when I do have what I like, for there is one thing that I have learned over the years, is never to totally deny yourself, for when you finally go back, you overindulge and find yourself back in a bad place.  Like I said, there is always going to be something to test just how strong you are against the things that you are weak with.  But, working to get stronger, is an everyday battle, that will be rewarding in the end. #61andstrong

What is it gonna be…

 

   If we would have known back in the past, how it would affect our present, we would have done a lot of things much differently.  I am thinking more some about my health right now.  Not knowing my family health history, is the main issue that I should have known, but at least now, I can work to improve my health.  Then there is the choices we made in how we were living life, often times catches up with us, especially the bad choices, which at that time we felt was good choices…..we had fun despite of the outcome of course. 

   Life comes with a lot of ups and downs, and it how we handle them with affect our present and our future.  It is amazing how one mistake and snowball out of control and get so big that we don’t know how to stop the madness.  And once you figure out how to stop it and seems to follow you throughout your life.  I feel the fact that it follows us, but not affect us, is to remind us of not making that mistake again.  In my current present, I am learning how my bad eating habits, is why I am having health issues now.  But I am so glad that making changes can improve my health.  So, what is it gonna be?  Don’t allow the past, to hinder your future.  You and I have a lot of life to live!  #61andchanging
