the journey continues

well, hmmm. wasn't really sure where else to post this, but here.
this is my second time around back toward a healthy weight. the gaining is a whole other story, but the losing is what i am dealing with again...now. so much goes into this process and change. one thing i have been thinking about is the confidence that gets infused back (or maybe for the first time) into life. i have seen myself go from the highs and lows and can't stop thinking about this part in the film, EAT PRAY LOVE, where the main character is out for a fine pizza dinner in Italia with her new friend that is also a lady. the main character is going on about her newly established "relationship" with pizza and the friend says that she is worried about all the pounds (kilos) she has gained since moving to Italia. the main character advises her friend not to worry about what her beau might think cause, "He doesn’t care. He’s in a room with a naked girl. He’s won the lottery."
for some reason this quote has stuck with me since watching this film recently. it is teaching me a lot about my own confidence and love for myself. i will never be a perfect 10, but who cares? this leg of my journey is teaching me a lot about being comfortable in my own skin and with who God is creating me to be. in the midst of all the transition it is just lovely to be at this place.
so, i guess i can take advice from the movie's title and EAT healthily, PRAY often, and LOVE myself, God, and those around me.
