Big results, small changes

I completed a 21 day no sweets challenge and ended it with smores while we were camping. They were delicious! However the next day....complete disaster! We arrived home from camping and I had a complete meltdown. I was out of control! All of my frustrations and let downs over the past few months exploded out of my mouth. My wise 6 year old realized what had happened the day before said, "Mom you have had way too much sugar." I smiled at her, and then at my husband, and stated, "She's right." And then came more tears...because all i want to be is normal.

What I have realized is I'm my normal. And that includes a couple food intolerance's, hormone imbalance, and a difficult time getting pregnant. Do these make me less important or beautiful? No. And this is hard to accept. I get frustrated because I see people who get pregnant on "accident" and we are spending hundreds of $$$ to get our baby (and spent a pretty penny getting our beautiful 6 year old here). At the same time I try to be loving and accepting and not bitter.

Each situation is different and each person handles their situation differently. Each person grieves differently. It sounds weird to me to say I am grieving over this situation but that's what happens when things don't turn out the way you expect them to.

So, how am I accepting this situation? I focus on my blessings. Here's a list of the first 10 things I can think of that I'm grateful for:
1. My physical strength
2. My spiritual strength and belief in God.
3. My friends and sisters
4. My wonderful husband who is SO patient
5. My beautiful daughter.
6. The beautiful children in my life
7. The opportunity I have to serve others through health, fitness, health coaching, nutrition, spirituality
8. My parents
9. Good food
10. The ability I have to be physically active.

There are so many things in life to be grateful for, even in the darkest of times.
