Recognizing My Worth
I am guilty of taking myself granted. At 180 pounds, I was my biggest critic, analyzing every flaw that I could find in myself. At 190, I really let myself have it. I told myself I was as big as a man and that I couldn't possibly be pretty. Then, I tipped the scales at over 200. It has been all downhill from there. In 13 months, I gained nearly 30 pounds. WTF? I lost myself in my negative thoughts. I carried on with my daily activities but my smile didn't radiate through my soul as it once ...

I lost myself in my negative thoughts. I carried on with my daily activities but my smile didn't radiate through my soul as it once did. I lowered my head in shame & accepted that I had "let myself go". I'm tired of moping around & feeling inferior because of my weight. I'm still the same woman!I am not happy with my weight so it's up to me to do something about it. I am falling back in love with myself because I am worthy of being loved. My weight will not define me. It's on now! I'm back!

Personal Information:
I'm a GA peach... born and raised. I'm a divorced mother of 2 teen daughters. I am a victim's advocate in a prosecutor's office. I recently went back to college pursuing a psychology degree. I think I want to become a licensed counselor. This is ME taking time for ME and doing something that will benefit ME. I am a caregiver and nurturer by choice but this time I'm choosing to care for myself.
Other Information:
There's nothing random about me. I'm an intentional masterpiece. A soldier of life's wars. Strengthened by my scars. Unstoppable, unbreakable. Unapologetic, unshakable. My being surpassed mere happenstance. Transcending predictions. Overruling chance.
I love to write. That's from one of my poems.
