Today I begin a journey that's been a long time coming. This journey will take me from "cranky me" to "happy me." Yeah, I know what your thinking, "She's not cranky, is she?" It's called acting, and I do the happy act well. It's not like I'm depressed or anything, I just get frustrated so quickly, and all the time.
So my journey begins, one step at a time. I'm journeying to find a happier, healthier me. So here I am, being brutally honest. This isn't a pity party, it's a reality check.
I weigh 170 pounds.
I over-eat, but I don't stop when I know I should.
I don't read my scriptures regularly.
I don't pray regularly.
I yell at my kids, a lot!
My house isn't a pig-sty, but it's embarrassing when people show up unexpectedly.
I spend too much time reading.
I waste more time than I care to admit online.
I don't appreciate my hubby as much as I could (notice how far down that one occurred to me).
My self-confidence is shot. If people don't seek me out I feel un-loved.
In order to find the "happier me" I'm going to work on each of these problems. I know I'll have set-backs. I know that it looks like I'm trying to eat the elephant. The process will be slow and sometimes painful as I take a look at myself with a magnifying glass. But if I can get even half of these things worked out I'll be happy.
So please join me as I'm "Just Chasing a Happier Me." I'll need your encouragement, love, and support.
