How Will You Write Your Story?
End Binge Eating Newsletter July, 2007
Hi everyone!
While in Galveston a few weeks ago, I saw a woman who really put things into perspective for my life and I wanted to share it with you.
Rob and I were eating at a deli when I noticed a woman coming towards the front door. This was not your typical woman, as she was in a wheelchair… and missing an arm... AND both of her legs. 3 limbs total, to be exact. I ran up to open the door for her, but someone beat me to it. I tried to watch her as best I could without trying to be that type of girl who is creepy and extremely rude because she is staring so much.
It just got me thinking…
In our own lives, assuming that most of us have all four limbs, why do we complain so much and get so caught up in our own situations when there is just so much that we need to be grateful for. Imagine how your life would be if were without one limb, let alone three. How would you function on a day-to-day basis? Could you even function?
How this lady was living her life was just amazing to me! She was truly not getting caught up in her circumstance. She didn’t wait by the front door for someone to open it for her. Nope, she was absolutely prepared to open the door on her own. Also, I might add, she was alone, which meant that she drove herself to the deli. I don’t know how she did it, but she did. She was still doing things that people with both arms and legs do and I find that absolutely phenomenal.
I remember when I was bingeing I would get so caught up in all of the bad qualities about myself. I would constantly beat myself up and say such horrible things because I wasn’t grateful. I didn’t try to look at the awesome qualities I have to make myself feel better. How could I be? I was binge eating and just didn’t like myself.
You know, we can just get so immersed in our self-pity that we forget that our situation could be a whole lot worse. We forget how important it is to love ourselves and focus on our good qualities… because, let’s face it; we all have some pretty great qualities!
We could compare ourselves all day long to people who appear to not have weight or food issues. We could compare ourselves to people who appear to be more successful. We could live our life each day doing this and let our lives just pass us by. Don’t you want to be able to look back and remember happy memories of different travels, friends, family, etc? I know I do.
Instead of worrying about how we are right now, let’s embrace and love ourselves. Let’s go out and truly live our lives in a way that will make the memories really stand out. Let’s seize every opportunity that presents itself before us with assurance that we can do it. Let’s just remember how truly grateful we are for what we have in our lives.
Yes, our lives would be better without binge eating. Embracing ourselves in a positive way doesn’t change the mission we are on to end binge eating; it just means that we will go about it with more positiveness towards ourselves. Life is worth so much more than constantly comparing ourselves to others. Opening our eyes up will really help us to win this battle.
After all, it could be worse and could be even more of a challenge to us if we were missing an arm, a leg, or both. Love yourself as you are and be grateful for what you are and what you have! Remember, each one of us is responsible for writing our own story in life – How will you write yours?
I believe in you!
