Pity Party!

Today at the gym I sat next to a man that was struggling to use the excersice bike because of a disability he has, I helped him get his foot into the strap but even then he struggled to move the peddles around and grasp the handles. Now I know im a complete sook normally but I really felt myself well up a little and not because I felt sorry for him as not for a second did he seem to feel sorry for himself but I think it was more to do with the fact that only moments before I was full of self pity wishing I looked like the toned lass working-out next to me and here was this chap just trying his hardest to use a bike for a few minutes.

Note to self...Self loathing is not the way to go! No at the moment I'm not my idea of the perfect size but I will be, I'll be fit and healthy again cause I intend on working my hiney off to get there. I have a hell of a lot to be thankful for and able bodied enough to change what I don't. This little pity party is officially over :)

A Strong Woman vs Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realises life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings, and capitalises on them

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.
