Are you taking care of yourself? I sure hope so! Me; I’m doing really well, thanks for asking!
I read an interesting blog recently at TRUTH2BEINGFIT…Reinventing Ourselves. I just thought it was a really interesting topic. Have you ever reinvented yourself? I suppose as we get older, we learn new things and grow-so we are constantly changing who we are; change after all , whether we try or not, is inevitable. But have you ever actually taken a step in such different direction that it is completely outside of the “mould” you have made for yourself?
I think people that take on health and fitness lifestyles for the first time sort of reinvent themselves-not just on the outside but inside as well since they are now taking care of themselves, caring more about food & nutrition and of course exercise. In a way, I feel like I reinvented myself the day I came clean about my addiction. It has brought a whole new perspective to my life and how I now deal with things and of course it’s given my blog a whole other road to travel..hehehe.
How about you? What really huge changes have you made that might qualify as “reinventing” yourself?

Thx for the shoutout Raechelle!
Me, I am a work in progress always! :-)
I thought I'd reinvented myself when I changed jobs after 20 years.... turns out that was nothing. LOL.
2003. I embarked on my weight loss journey. I joined a gym (eek!). I began my love affair with healthy food. I ignited my insane interest in books, websites and anything else that adds to my knowledge of nutrition and health. I started to "collect" online friends with similar interests.
One day I remember actually pausing and looking in the mirror and wondering where the old me had gone. Wherever she is, I hope she stays there.
haha Jody-yes-many of us are a work in progress-really not living otherwise, hey!
That's so awesome Kek! You are a prime example of someone who's done the reinvention inside and out! and just keeps getting better :-)
Hey Raechelle, re the elimination diet, this is where you'll find the full details:

It's not so bad - if you can do a comp diet, this will be a breeze. LOL.
I thought I had 'reinvented' myself after I lost 61 kilos and got hooked on going to the gym for 3 hours a day.
Sadly... my old habits came back... so obviously the reinvention was not permanent...
I live in hope to get some of the 'new' me back again one day.
Just living one day at a time until then... trying not to slide further backwards.
I eny you chicks who are so fit and healthy and managing to stay that way, I really do.
I feel like I am hopeless... and until I can find my mojo again... I wallow in self pity. And I can.. so I will! Might not help, but *sigh*.....
AND I might point out.. when I was right into the diet and fitness.. I had quite a few comments and words of encouragement from the likes of KEK above... but now?
See ... being fat is not 'socially' acceptable.. and no one really wants to know a fat chick.
Well.. that's how I FEEL.... and I am entitled to my feelings, even if they are not shared by others.
Did I put me foot in it again?
See... feeling really crabby now... something I do really well!
Sorry for venting on your blog... again!
Feel free to delete my comments too... they were really only for you.
Hey guess what?
I am feeling really DETERMINED to bloody well reinvent myself again now!
All this baring of the soul has helped.
I do not want to be a loser forever.
I can do it
... and I bloody well will!
You WATCH ME chick.... this little comment feast has really helped me.
Maybe not you.
lol
I am finally reinventing myself by focusing on ME. I have 4 gremlin-children, and I always thought it was impossible or selfish to do for me. But it's not! It's healthy to focus on me. I can't properly take care of my family if I am neglecting myself. :)
I've e-mailed you Chris! And I will be watching...I'm glad you've become determined! :-)
Good for you Yum! Yes-if you don't take care of yourself, you can become less effective at taking care of your family! :-)
