Day 378

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I was watching the news this morning saw a woman on there talking about being fat and happy.  How she used to be a size 4 and worked out 3 hours a day to keep her body like that.  One day her husband told her to stop.  She was losing time with the kids, worrying about herself.  He married her for her, not for a skinny body.  He loved her.   Wow, that hit me.  I have been so worried about my body recently.  I gained some weight since I got sober and have felt very self concious. My husband told me the same thing.  To quit worrying about my body.  He was happy with me.  He loved me for who I am, and was just proud of me for getting sober.  I really like this quote too.  There are a lot of things that I could that are worse.  I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and drunk, or a skinny liar, or a skinny thief.  I would rather be a fat and happy, good mom...a fat and happy, good friend, trustworthy, and kind, or a fat and funny aunt. That's what I want to be today.  That's all I got today.  Have a great one!

I have never seen anyone get skinny enough to squeeze through prison bars after doing something illegal while drunk or high. The only REAL thing is LOVE. You are a lucky lady! Keep it simple, and don't overthink anything. :-)
