First blog

This is one part of this site that up to this point I haven't utilized.  It's time I do that.  It's to remind me when times get hard or Lord forbid, I start to backslide, of where my head is at.

As many of you have, I too have struggled with my weight my whole life, from being a very fat baby to a big girl teen, to an obese mother and grandmother....always wishing to be "normal".  I've been given this gift of which I am forever grateful.

It still is a struggle at times.  A lot of self talk goes on, to encourage myself as if I were my own best friend.  The self hatred talk is gone.  At this semi late point in my life, I'm learning to truly love  and nuture myself.  During this journey, it has been very enlightening.  Unwrapping the layers of myself, to discover who and what I am made of.  Some of it is very gratifying, alot of it scary, facing my fears and insecurities head on.  I am a work in progress.
