She’s got the joy, joy, joy. joy down in her heart today…
I have some teachers, and one is Abraham-Hicks. Abraham talks about unconditional love as a way of describing a connection to source energy. I mean that I love, no matter what conditions surround me, as much as I allow that connection. And today I practiced. And I had a day without fear. I had a day without hatred. I had a day without judgement. Well, I guess I had a little, but it felt so weird that I just laughed it away.
I joined a gym today! That was unexpected. It just felt right, it was the next logical step. I’ve been wishing from time to time that I had not cancelled my membership, because I so much enjoy, sometimes, exerting my body with the weight machines. Then, today, I received an email with a good deal, and I went in. First of all, the girls behind the desk applauded. Secondly, it took only a few minutes, and I ended up with an even better deal. Finally, I got a free massage for a friend who is a current member.
If you are a regular reader, you have faith that I can pull this together with the theme of unconditional love. Yep, here goes…I joined the gym because I love my body, fully, in it’s current condition. And I don’t expect a fix. I expect to feel good, and have fun. So when the girls applauded, I joined in their excitement, instead of thinking – “they are happy the fat girl is gonna try to get thin.” And that’s the condition my condition is in.
Molly, I know how you feel about the gym. Though I think when I go at a different time, working out with my trainer, that most of the people think I am just starting.

I love this book Fat Girls and Lawn Chairs. Here is a link about her going to the gym. Enjoy.
