Epiphany 137: I am not my behaviors

I am not an overweight person, but I have been acting like one.

I realized that I AM is such a powerful statement. It means it's who I am. Sounds obvious doesn't it? But when I separate "who I am" from "what I do" all of a sudden I feel the emotions that I have always attached to my weight start to slip away.

I have acted sedentary. I have overeaten. I have been lazy. Yes it's true friends, don't try to defend me. I have lacked self-discipline in this area of my life. All of this I believe because my emotions were so much more powerful than my good intentions.

In this moment I feel exhilerated with the possibility of the new behaviors I can take on.

I make healthy food choices.
I take time to prepare healthy meals.
I eat modest portions.
I take time to relax and attend to my general wellbeing.
I exercise.
I take my supplements.
I get just enough sleep.
I drink enough water.

Because I AM someone who tends to the temple.
