Things I can do that will make me feel pride in myself.

1. Take the time everyday to make myself look nice, shower, fix your hair, put on some make up.
2. Buy some clothes that fit and look stylish, stop using your weight as an excuse to dress frumpy.
3. Wear jewelry. If you love it, buy it and wear it. Don’t worry if it isn’t real.
4. Buy some cute shoes, who cares if they are hot pink, If you love them, wear them.
5. Buy a bag you love, and don’t worry if someone says it’s to young for you.
6. Get you butt outside and make your garden into the vision you see inside your head. Don’t listen to the voice that says you don’t know how. Figure it out and do it.
7. Make a list of what YOU want, don’t think about what anyone one else things. You don’t need anyone’s approval.
8. Read and study your medical books. The fear you have about dealing with certain cardiac patients comes from not knowing how to treat them. Learn how.
9. Get back into life. Ask someone over, have a barbecue and pool day with another couple. Drink a beer and have fun. Your friends already know you are fat, so who cares if they see your fat butt in a swim suit, wear a tee shirt.
10. Stop acting old, you are the age you are. You can’t change that. Get over it and start being the best you can be.
