Today is going to be fun for me. I'm planning to meet my oldest daughter, her husband and their 2-yr. old twins at a botanical garden near their home where there is a large butterfly exhibit going on. There are more than 6,000 tropical butterflies flying free in the 15,000-square-foot conservatory; more than 40 different species from the Far East, Africa, and Central America. After a long and very cold Michigan winter, a morning in a tropical conservatory with a couple of grandchildren, surrounded by butterflies, sounds heavenly to me! Of course, I will bring my camera :-)
I went to the butterfly exhibit three years ago with my two oldest grandchildren, but there were no photos of me taken with them on that trip. I was near my top weight and much more comfortable behind the camera. I have some great photos from that visit, but there isn't a single one of me. That makes me sad, but it was so typical of where I was at that point in my life.
This time will be different, and I intend to get some photos of me with the twins. Just another difference in my life, thanks to Medifast!
When I was on my weight loss journey, I couldn't have envision all of the changes - big and small - that would happen in my life as a result of reaching my goal. The differences continue to amaze me, and I'm so thankful!
Are there things you don't do right now because of your weight? Are there things you look forward to doing when you reach your goal? Life this side of goal has held much more than I had ever envisioned, and life continues to surprise and delight me. Although I wish I hadn't spent so many years of my life struggling with obesity, I'm incredibly thankful for this time in my life and the chance to enjoy so many things at a healthy weight.
Have a great, on-plan day. You're worth it!
