………….attitude just hit rock bottom.
UUGGHHH!!!!
Welllllll, maybe there was some warning…………
I've been thinking lately about the words lose, lost………however you want to say it. I checked the definitions. Most of the definitions seemed to imply that the item that is lost, is something cherished, something you want to find, something that you regret losing.
Does that look like something you'd regret losing? Does that look like something you'd want to find again?
Does that look like something to be cherished? I think not!!!
LOSE: verb
* To come to be without, through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery.
* To fail inadvertently to retain (something) in such a way that it cannot be immediately recovered.
* To suffer the deprivation of.
* To be bereaved of by death.
* To fail to keep, preserve, or maintain.
* To give up; forfeit the possession of.
Well, there it is, right there in black and white.
All of those definitions imply that the thing lost is something treasured, something you regret losing, something you want to find.
So, I’m made up my mind. I’m gonna stop losing weight. Because I’ll tell you one thing for certain this weight is not treasured. This weight is not something that I would ever regret losing. This weight is not something that I want to find, ever again.
The definitions continue:
* To suffer loss.
* To suffer defeat or fail to win.
* To depreciate in effectiveness or in some other essential quality.
AND, the final unacceptable definition of this word:
* lose out, to suffer defeat or loss’ fail to obtain something desired.
That settles it. Completely and totally!!!!!
Hear me and hear me loudly: I’M GONNA QUIT LOSING!!!!!!
These 60+ pounds that are no longer on my body are not something that I have lost through accident or theft. I have not inadvertently failed to retain them. I am not bereaved that they are gone. They are not gone because I failed to preserve them.
I have worked STINKING HARD to get rid of them. I have not lost them, I have sweated them off. I know where every thinking one of them went. Some I sweated off in the swimming pool, some I sweated off on the recumbent bike, a few I sweated off walking, and many I flushed.
I am NOT suffering from the loss of them. I have not been
depreciated in effectiveness or in some other essential quality because of the loss of them. Quite the opposite is true, actually!!
Hear my words and hear them loudly………………
I AM GONNA QUIT LOSING THIS WEIGHT!!!!!
Since December 12, 2009, I have lost 80.4 pounds. Also, since December 12, 2009, I have found 18.2 of those pounds. That's the math.
I AM GONNA QUIT LOSING THIS WEIGHT!!!! Because, apparently, when I lose it, I think I need to find some of it again.
Yep, a new choice is in the making. I’m choosing to quit losing. I’m choosing to remove and dispose of these excess pounds from my body. I will NOT pursue finding any of them. I am not grieving that those 80.4 pounds are gone from my body. I am grieving that I found and put back on 18.2 of them.
I am choosing NOT to find any more. I am choosing to remove and dispose of more and more and more………….no looking back. Yep, that’s my choice and I’m sticking to it!!
