I went to the Grainery today to pick up some black oiled sunflower seeds for our bird feeders. I had help getting the bag into my car, but once I got home, I was on my own. I lugged that bag out of my car and up the steps. It was not easy. That bag is a symbol of the weight that I have lost and the toll that extra weight had on my joints and body. I carried it all around, day in and day out for years. What a heavy and unnecessary load. It took me a long time to put my health first and develop healthy habits. Too long. That bag of seed is an inspirational reminder as to how far I have come.
Nice symbolism though, for me, lifting fifty pounds with lower back issues is a struggle. We love the Arboretum especially in spring and fall..:)
ReplyDeleteNice way to remember how far you've come!!!
