Have I finally decided....

... that I'M WORTH IT?

Wow... Last night I wrote a blog about finally having a success.. Finally after days and days of giving in to, what I am calling, the "Hungry Monster" (I think perhaps I should also name him the "Snack Monster"), I made a vow to myself that I would not eat after 7:30 pm. AND... surprising to even myself... that vow WORKED.

Then, I logged into SP like I always do... and I have several comments on the blog from others saying that they too have had this "visit from the Hungry Monster" and that they are going to make a vow to themselves too... And as I was replying to everyone... I just realized...

I kept a VOW that I made to MYSELF... I couldn't let myself down by failing that vow... I had to do it for ME...

Let me repeat: I kept a VOW that I made to MYSELF... I did it for ME.

Wow... for those of you that don't know... I started this journey almost 16 months ago because my grandchildren deserved to have a better Gramma-K. My sons and daughter deserved to be proud of their momma... I had to do it for them... because I wasn't strong enough to do it for me. I didn't think I was important enough to do it for me...

So the revelation this morning that I actually kept a VOW that I made to MYSELF... has bells and whistles going off in my ears... lightbulbs flashing in my head... I couldn't let MYSELF DOWN. I AM IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT I HAD TO KEEP MY VOW!!

And that, my friends... is a totally NEW THOUGHT!
