Greetings
Please read this testimony..your happiness depends on it...
I know what it's like to be unhappy. . . and unhealthy. I'd slump down on the sofa after work each night with a bowl of chocolate ice cream balanced on my lap. My face was pinched into a frown and I must admit that how I acted didn't help out this whole PMS thing we women get accused of.
Don't even get me started on the ways life made me feel stressed out. Those extra 65 pounds strapped to my stomach and thighs must of happened just because of the stress . . . alone. So I'd sit there on that sofa each night, gorging on half a carton of ice cream . . . and then sucking down half a pack of cigarettes.
I was stuck. A life in limbo ...
Oh, I thought I knew what I needed to be happy... But I just ... couldn't quite ... get myself there.
Do you know that feeling? That "You Know What You Want, But You Can't Seem to Break Free Long Enough to Get it" feeling?
But then I read something one day. Now don't think I'm nuts when I tell you this ... I read that WE make ourselves unhappy. Can you believe that?
So then I started thinking about this whole "I'm miserable because of me," idea. And I realized something.
That weight would come off me, that smoking habit was gonna go away, and I sure was gonna get healthier ... and happier ... but not until I changed ME.
But this is where it gets really hard.
How I was thinking about life ... what was making me unhappy ... had been going on so long that now it was a habit. You know, like I was on auto-pilot and just thought in ways that made my life ...
