The word of the day is Courage. This word always brings to mind the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz. How he ran away from everything and cried when Dorothy slapped him for chasing Toto. It took his friends The Tin Man, The Scarecrow and Dorothy to help him on his journey to The Emerald City to ask for some Courage. The Lion accepted the help of his new friends and stumbled along the way to meet the Wizard. But he kept on his journey to find Courage. When they finally made it to the Wizard and the Wizard Spoke to the Lion he ran away in fear! As we know the four friends all on the same journey, but with very different goals in mind had to fight the Witch in order to get her broom stick and return it to the Wizard in hopes of being granted what each desired so greatly. While the Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man were outside of the castle, Dorothy wait helplessly to be rescued. Who of all people was chosen to lead the march into the castle? The Cowardly Lion. His friends were there to offer guidance and support for the Lion. They had confidence that The Lion would be able to accomplish this very important task and put their faith in him. The rescue was a success and the four were reunited. Trouble was lurking around the corner and with quick thinking Dorothy threw water at the Scarecrow which also landing on the Witches face and melted her. The group then returned to the Wizard looking to receive a brain, a heart, a home and the nerve. But it turned out that the Wizard was not a magical wizard with the abilities to grant wishes. What the Wizard was able to provide three of the four luck ones was insight. The Wizard explained to each one that they already possessed what they were searching for which caused them to think and realize what and who there really were. The Wizard gave them a gift that they already had, but didnt know was there.

So the morale to my story about the wizard of oz is that with support, friendship, determination and self reflection I can find the courage that has always been inside of me to conquer whatever life throws at me.

Okay...So I am seeing a pattern here. It seems that every time I am really close to getting below 200 pounds I fall off the food wagon. So I have spend the last few days trying to figure this one out. I believe I have come to a realization. I don't remember the last time I was under 200 pounds. This is a HUGE milestone and it comes with a lot of baggage. This is what I believe to be the cause of my issue. My whole life I have never thought of myself as pretty or good looking. And now that I am getting closer to being where I want to be I keep sabbotaging myself. Once I get to where I am looking to go and even along the way I am changing the way the world looks at me. And as silly as it may sound it is scary. For 37 years I have been the big one and not being there (even though I dont want to be the big one) is scary to me. Who will I be? How will the world look at me? What is going to change? So now that I know my challenges and have accepted them, I believe I am fully equiped to find out what it is going to be like. What I look like and what other people think of me does not have matter. The only thing that matters is that I am happy with me! So that is my mission. I am going to work on finding a way to be happy just being me. And the me I am going to be is going to be healthy physically and mentally. Ideas and suggestions are welcome on this since it is uncharted terrority!!
