When you walk into a room full of people, instead of wandering if
they'll like you, ask yourself will you like them!
Morning folks, I've had me a lie in, it's done my cold the world of good
and I'm ready for my day, it's not a hectic one which will help, just got to go
and get weighed at my weigh in, yep Weight Watchers as a member for me this
morning, followed by lunch and a catch up with my bestie. I will lose weight but I won't change my life
to do it, I'll tweak it but not change.
Loved my meetings yesterday, lots of those moments where we were
reminded why we joined, one moment that took me back to my childhood (a place I
don't visit too often) and just a reminder of how important it is for all you
grown-ups out there to live your best life, love yourself as you are and set an
example to your amazing children.
Be the kind of person you want to see more of in this world. If you're looking in the mirror and putting
yourself down, that'll be picked up by the little folk in your house and
there's a danger they may replicate your behaviour. If you're running round after everyone and
ignoring your own needs, the younger version of yourself might think that's
okay, that it's expected for them to be the dogsbody, the do-er of everything
and that their needs aren't important.
We don't want for the young ladies in our house - do we?
If we focus on health and happiness, rather than skinny and pretty, surely
that's going to make our young ones see that they are already BeYOUtiful, they
don't have to be anyone other than themselves.
Every child in this world is incredible, tell them so, also remember you
too were one of those incredible children once, and now you're an incredible
adult, you just fail to acknowledge that sometimes!
Live a life you'd be happy for your child to live....Don't settle for
less.
I'm going to leave it there this morning, let you ponder.
Enjoy your day and remember you are BeYOUtiful. Xx
