Not Until I Got Sick That's When I Value Health

I came up with this title that centered around health just because being a busy career woman,a busy mother, a side hustler mother is somewhat to be proud Not until one day I find myself in bed-- and sick.

When I'm entering into the motherhood stage you learned a lot to things just to earn and just to keep busy of yourself.I don't know why but I loved to keep myself busy all the time.
That when you're in this motherhood stage a lot of changes happened to one's body and I'm not excused to this.The moment I felt anxious and sometimes weary I resorted to eating a lot and cravings a lot. Which I think I don't anymore check what's the nutritional value of it or if not I'm eating excessively this kind of food.
I gained weight from being 55 kilos now shifted to 75 kilos. The moment I looked into the weighing scale, it's the moment I lose self confidence.Its a silent battle over myself that I want to overcome.
Sometimes it's hurting on your part that you can hear unkind words from your beloved friend or even part of the family that I'm big,I'm fat already,my clothes doesn't fit me anymore.

Thankful for that unkind words they've been throwing at me.
I know I'm not valuing health anymore after I became a mother.Sleepness nights, cravings for sugary foods, (a unbalanced hormones cause this so much)just loving to lye down/sitting down after eating because I want to be productive doing tasks every minute of the day.These are the routine I seemed to not foresee everyday that contribute a lot in gaining my weight.

Just way back last year when I experienced the shutdown of my body, I've got fever (head ache),my body ached,pains here and there,my joints were also aching I'm being diagnosed with a high in uric acid and a bit higher in glucose.The fond of eating chips, with a little bit of softdrinks, the Bacon's and hams in the morning, the sweets as the afternoon snacks--this what I love the most.I always loved this routine that my during weekends I did this so much.
This activity feel me so much relieved but it's not a good routine. I accumulated a lot of abscences from my work,I left my baby in her grandma and took care of her.See what happened when everything is unlimited,it does no good to one's self.
To keep the story short I've got fully recovered with the help of my mother --preparing healthy foods,soup,and giving me the proper rest that I need on that time.That time that I'm in bed made me realized if would be sick again what will happened to my family who are always looking up to me most especially my baby.

What I want to emphasize in here is that we own our body,we always have the decision as to whether you're gonna take care of it or just simply continue the not so good routine and rewarded after with sickness.Thanks God it's just a minor sickness for me.I find ways to sustain my hospital bills on that time but it adds up in monthly bills.

Valuing One's Health these days does not cost very much, everything is being given for free.Enough rest, sleep, proper hydration, right intake of food, exposing one self to sunlight,doing an exercise, all of these can be accessed anytime but why do we find it very hard to do all of these?Why always feel lazy to this things?

Just reflecting it now! I do not know maybe human as I am-- I need more motivation and Inspiration to do this on my own,not until I became bullied and became sick.

These year changed me so much after I got sick and laid in bed for too 3 days .

I was delighted tell you that I'm seeing progress on myself---I weighed 69 kilos now .I know I'm far but I'm getting in there.
Started eating my food with lots of vegetables on it, I'm skipping processed foods this time, I'm more into water than softdrinks, although I still ate my afternoon sweet snacks but in moderation now.Everything is being transformed now. I can feel that my body is being renewed and cleaned.Just a little discipline on one's self and I can get there.

I now valued health not until because of the things that happened to me. Sickness is one of the signals,that one must value health.
I want to see the beauty and the purpose why I'm here in this world so I must live longer--(A thought that always came across my mind)
So my body is my rule and that number 1 rule is to value health over things.Indeed the saying" Health Is Wealth" is very timely and could be used as mantra for everyone.

How about you whats your reflection on this?
Are you also valuing your health?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my reflection of the day.Have a nice day ahead!
