Just the way you are

 

Well its day 3 of the evolution and I have found it remarkably easy to exercise and stay on track with my eating plan. I have started this with so little fanfare; it is almost as if nothing is happening. I wanted to write this blog to capture this moment. I know this is it. It certainly feels quite unceremonious though. I usually have to make a big deal about things to get them done.

This is a shrink yourself consequence though. I have found that this program is like planting a patch of grass on a bare yard. It looks funny there but then it takes root and spreads and before you know it, you have an entire lawn. You forget that that area was ever bare. I have quite a few SY (shrink yourself) consequences and I honestly love it. One of them is that I like myself and I do not hate myself. Not saying awful things to myself. I would say such horribly unkind things to myself, it's no wonder I was numb to the world.

However, here's the thing, instead of being mean to me, I am quite nice now and I do not tell myself that I have to be. It's just automatic. So much so, that a funny thing happens to me now. I love music, I am a vocalist actually. Nothing gives me chills like music. I always find that songs say exactly how I feel. Just like you might sing "I will survive" or "Irreplaceable" after a bad breakup, I have songs for everything. Music just says what I have trouble saying. (not that I don't try!) Then when the situation changes the song changes.

Anyway, lately, all the songs are about me. Like I am singing them to myself. Yeah, I know, strange, but nice. I think everybody should do this though; it is nice to say nice things to yourself and not always wait for someone else to tell you. You never know, your self might actually feel special. I have included the lyrics below to my latest favorite song about me. Remember you the next time you hear it and tell me it does not make you smile. Will write again tomorrow, weigh in day!!!!

 

So here's my latest song:

Bruno Mars, Just the way you are.

Just The Way You Are Lyrics

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are(yeah)

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah
