Feeling Down...

Yesterday was not as good of a day as I would have hoped for. I woke up feeling down (I have depression, so this isn't TOO uncommon, even though I've been taking meds.) Anyways...I was feeling discouraged because I've been working out and eating better for about 3 weeks now, and my body doesn't seem to be reflecting ANY of that. All my clothes still fit the same and I still look the same in the mirror. Needless to say, I was not at the top of my game. I did eat a salad for lunch-after I had 2 doughnuts of course.

 Later that day I went and got "foot zoned" (which is like reflexology, but a little different.) My sister-in-law is the one that zoned me, and we discussed about how I need to be drinking more water and to keep eating fruits and veggies. Sometimes that is easier said then done.

After being zoned, I was talking to my sister about my discouragement and she brought up a good though. She said, "If there was a magic pill that you could take that would give you the energy you need and the motivation you want without harming your body, would you take it?" "Yeah." "Our Father in Heaven can help you with that." Then she shared an experience when she prayed to have some physical help at the time, and her prayers were answered. So I took that to heart. Later that night I had Matt give me a priesthood blessing for comfort and guidance. It really helped. In the blessing it was mentioned that I would have the desire of my heart and that I would be able to figure what I should be eating to satisfy myself as well as keeping in tune with the commandments of the Lord. That was a good thing to hear. Especially since I was considering doing some sort of "crash diet" or "weight loss pills". (Not saying that those are bad-I've done them before-But they do not work for my body.) It helped give me strength to stick with eating better and to endure-since it will take time.

So I am back on track, and hopefully will have the right momentum moving forward.
