Friendship

       So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about certain things in my life. The one thing that I never have to waiver on is my closest friends. Friendship has been my one true life savers these past 5 years. So, I wanted to divulge on what I think a true friend is to me.





 

 

True friendship is not when you go to school and hang around with someone just because you have no one else to chill with. It's not calling someone up when you're bored because they are fun to talk to. It's not when you can't think of a birthday gift and end up buying your friend a wal-mart gift card. It's not when you have to talk to someone about something you don't particulary care about (like how much rain we got last year) to avoid an awkward silence. Friendship is not a thing we should take for granted.

 

 

Friendship is when you love someone with every ounce of your being and genuinely want them to be happy even if it means sacrificing something yourself to make them happy. A true friend is someone you can talk to about your feelings, someone you can tell things you could never tell your family or even your partner. They are someone who you don't have to talk to but someone you "want" to talk to; someone you will go out of your way to be with.

 

 

 

Friendship is when you love someone so much you want to hold them and never let go, someone you want to rest your head on and cry, and you would let them cry on you too. It's someone you can talk to about things you disagree on and end up being closer for that disagreement. It's when you think about someone and how close you are to them and how much you love them. It's the smile that brings happiness into your life.

 

 

Friendship is not about who left but who stays with you and weathers each and every storm. Friendship requires loyalty, truth and complete understanding. It involves communication when you don't understand something. One might come across numerous friends in this life time but there are very few who will be there during your ups as well as stand by you when you are down. A true friend is one who will understand your strengths and shortcomings and would be with you no matter what. True friends put aside pride and hurt feelings, and just care enough to save the friendship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding the Inner Me

For the past two weeks I have started a new regiment with working on me. I realized that Now not later is the time to work on me. I always put me off to take care of everyone else. I have always cared about everybody's well being over mine. Its just easier. When it comes to me I feel like I have to climb a mountain to even begin the new journey. Until I realized that changing doesn't start with the outside, it begins on the inside. I have to change my thoughts and desires on the inside before I can think about the outside appearance. If you truly don't love yourself you are not going to get anywhere! I found a ladies story on youtube the other day and it really inspired me. She broke down DIET into an acronym. So I wanted to share it with everyone so you can use it too.

D- DESIRE: Write down all your desires around being thin in detail.

I- INTUITION: Use your intuition and inner guidance to find the things that would serve you and your    body.

E- EMOTIONS: You need to identify the emotions you have around food and how you used foods to feel better and then work your way into new associations with food.

T- THOUGHTS: You need to change your thoughts about you body, about yourself, and replace these thoughts with new healthy positive thin thoughts.

Another important thing to do is setup TINY goals not BIG goals. You will crash and burn if all you focus on is the end weight goal. I must lose 150, 150, 150, that would drive me back into my shell to think about that over and over again. Believe me I know because I have done it on more than one occasion! So here is to a new beginning and a better future of Me and You!! 

You must choose HAPPY and follow that path...

Love Sarah
