Long-lasting change can only come through kindness to yourself, curiosity about what you do, and a willingness to act on your own behalf.

I think I’m going to like living here. This is the view from my new window in my new home :) Hard times are ahead, I know. But at least with this reminder every evening of the wonderful things around me, I can keep going and keep my head up :) (Taken with instagram)
Be gentle, you’re meeting parts of yourself you’ve been at war with.

I stood for a long time before your scale this morning. Reading the words I remember you writing so long ago. Half of me grieved deeply when I realized how long this has really been for us, how long we have been held captive by this fluctuating calculation of ounces and pounds. But the other half of me wanted desperately to step on, to start the battle again—part of me still believing that this time I could win. But there are no winners in that game Katie. And you have too much to lose to continue to play. One day Katie, we`ll throw out the scale.

Strength comes from struggle. When you learn to see your struggles as opportunities to become stronger, better, wiser, then your thinking shifts from “I can’t do this” to “I must do this.
