Misconceptions!

Well helllooo! Thank you for coming back after my personal "vomit" post the other day! LOL! Sometimes you just have to be honest and put yourself out there and you have all been so supportive so it's not as scary! What's this post about you ask? Well you know in the past I've said how social media is good AND bad and that sometimes it gives people the wrong impression of others and their "perfect" life? Same thing, but I want to put it into perspective that I think people look at people who may have NEVER had a weight issue and just say to themselves 'she has no idea what it's like to struggle', 'she's never had to deal with this or that'... YES, you are absolutely right. I was dealt a lucky hand of genetic genes in which I have NEVER had a weight problem, BUT I don't care who you are or how good others think you look, unless YOU are happy with yourself and I mean 100% happy with yourself there is ALWAYS something you want/wish you could change!


There are only a handful of people out there who have an ABUNDANCE of self confidence and um, yeah this girl here is NOT one of them. I have always tried my best to be "healthier" but I would start and keep with it a week or maybe 2 and fall off the wagon oh, you know one, two a million consecutive times, start back up and do it all over again. I think once you start getting older and you have kids you realize that it's sooooo much more than "looking better", it's about wanting to be around to share in their lives. There are people who look at me and say 'I would never want to be that skinny',  oh I hear ya....I wish I had CURVES. I evidently got the short stick in the chest & hips department, but it is what it is. I have to learn to LOVE myself and the body I was given. My all time favorite judgement line 'she must not eat' (this little beauty of a comment goes ALL the way back to my early twenties not to mention these little comments are just as HURTFUL as putting someone down over being heavier). One thing I have NEVER done, is starve myself. Please contact my boss from Florida who will tell you I used to base our work days while we were traveling on where we were going to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner!  I LOVE me some food! I have a SWEET tooth! I LOVE wine! I guess my point is it doesn't matter if someone has had weight struggles their whole life or if they are just naturally thin, EVERYONE has their own struggle they are dealing with and unless you walk a day in their shoes, try very hard NOT to judge or preconceive what or who you think they are before REALLY knowing them.

So am I head over heels in love with myself now? NOPE! But all I know is that I'm approaching 29 39, ooops, slip of the finger on the keys there and I want to be the healthiest, BEST version of ME! ;) There will ALWAYS be people who doubt you, put you down, judge you, so it's up to you to put on your big girl panties, smile and prove them wrong and do what you gotta do for YOU!  I will be putting together my first Fitness Challenge Group in the next few weeks so if you think you are ready to make a change whether it's a BIG one or small baby steps or maybe you are trying to stay off that medicine the Dr has you on and you want the help and accountability of other women like you please message me. These groups have changed my life, changed my perspective and are making me feel alive again!!! Happy Tuesday!  XO
