Having Those "Skinny" Days!
Yep, I'm having one of those "skinny" days, which I don't even remember the last time I had one of them! I know part of it is that I still can't keep away from the darn scale, so I know I've dropped a few pounds since last week, and I'm thrilled about that! But more than that, something just feels different in my abs and waist. Different, good. Shoot, these days don't come along very often, so I'm going to relish in it as much as I can! Oh, I know it's all in my mind because one would say that I don't really look any different than yesterday, but you see, yesterday was a "fat" day, and today is a "skinny" day, so I'm keeping it! THERE! I know I'm not the only one who goes through this! Isn't is a comforting thing to know that we're all just mental? lol. Joking really, but on the other hand...most of how we feel about ourselves on the outside comes from how we feel on the inside. Sure things are sucking for us right now financially. I'm going in for an interview this afternoon for a part-time job, hate the thought of having two jobs again, and spending less time with the family, but I know it has to be done. Our real estate tax bill came yesterday, $800. Ouch! A lot more than I was expecting. Still waiting for the darn personal property taxes. But all in all, I feel "good" about things. I'm happy on the inside, which several years back I could never say that! So as bad as things seem for us financially, I can look at things and say, "yeah, we don't have any money, are struggling just to pay the bills, past due notices are coming in for the first time, but I can change that, do something about it. The important things are still here! I have a wonderful husband, am in love more today than I was 2 years ago, we both have healthy beautiful children, we can still laugh, we have a roof over our heads even though it needs a little work. 10 years ago, I never would have thought I could have this attitude! Everything looked so bleak, I thought everyone would be better off without me, etc. But I pulled myself up! I still have those days where I just want to be left alone and wallow, but I fight it now and those moments are few and far between now. Such a relief. So....I'm keeping my "skinny" day, and there's nothing you can do about it! Ha!
