New Goal
Okay, so although I don't agree with this woman's language sometimes and although I don't agree with her modesty issues, there is one thing I do agree with: that she treats her body very well. She eats healthily and she exercises. Here's the evidence:
So, here's the point- I want to look like that. Why can't I? She was once overweight. Why can't I, who is over weight right now, look like that? It will take a lot of work, but am I not worth it? I think I am. My body deserves to be treated like a queen. I did not even earn my body. Technically (or religiously speaking) it is not even mine. Heavenly Father gave it to me. So, isn't it my job to treat this this gift the best way possible? I think so. I want to live till I am 100 (or longer). I want to see my children grow and have children of their own. I want to see my grandchildren grow up. When I am 60 I want to be able to run a half marathon if I want to. I want to be physically fit. I don't want to be embarrassed when I go to the gym (or to the track) because I can't run as fast as the other runners or because I am heavy and I am trying to exercise. And one of my greatest worries of all is that my joints will hurt so bad that I won't be able to move and do what I want to (my joints have started hurting ever since I put on the weight). I want to run 11 miles without complaining about my knee or worrying about my right feet joints hurting for a few days after a run. I want to do everything I possibly can to turn back time to make sure that I can do anything I can put my mind to. If I am fit like Jillian Michaels I can help people like she does. I can serve others to my greatest ability. I want to help people move when they need to be moved. I want to be the person carrying someone that can't walk. I don't want to be the one being carried. I want to live my life, not watch it go by. I DESERVE IT. I DESERVE IT. I will know what she knows. I will do what she does to be healthy and treat my body good. If I don't deserve it my body does. She did it, so why can't I.
