Choose happiness!!

I have had one main excuse for MANY years! I always told myself that I wouldn't let the numbers on the scale determine my happiness. My family and friends loved me no matter what. But then thinking about it, I would get out of breath going up the stairs, couldn't run and keep up with my children, feel embarassed in a swimsuit, and fell guilty when I would go back for seconds (or more), I realized that these were factors that were determining my happiness. All because of my own CHOICES. We can't blame anyone else for our bodies, for our choices, for our reactions, or many other aspects of life. I still believe that the numbers on the scale won't determine my happiness, but the way I live and the choises I make will. I CHOOSE to LIVE and happiness will no doubtedly come!
