I AM ME!!!!

Okay, I didn't forget about you, but last week was very hectic. My daughter had pneumonia and I had to nurse her back to health. I'm learning so much about myself during this time. My core is the same but there are so many changes happening within and around me. First, I was raised by my parents to be very loving and caring. Second, I was also raised to be fearless and to fight for my dreams and beliefs. My mother taught me to be loving, patient, and kind amongst other things and my father taught me to brave and to know when to fight for what I want in life.

With this combination you have the wonderful makeup of the woman who is present today, which is ME! If I had a dime or a nickel every time someone told me how confident I am and they wish they could be this confident, I'd be a rich woman right now. I'm not being cocky but I am making a point, stick with me. You have to understand that though I openly discuss my insecurities with my body and my struggle with FOOD, I was taught to love myself regardless of what imperfections I may have. This was powerful for me but I didn't realize it until I was grown, exactly what my parents had instilled in me.

No one is perfect, at least no one I know. We all have things about ourselves that we want to change. However, I have more things about myself that I like than the things I don't. I AM ME.... Period. Wonderfully made and happy about who I've turned out to be and who I'm becoming. When I write I understand that I'm not writing just for myself, I'm writing for every other person who has experienced things that they want to change in their lives about themselves. The key to any change is first excepting the current things in your life and appreciating where you are.

As you know I have tried everything on the market, I'm almost like a Guinea pig lol. I have these hypnosis Cd's and in them the coach explains that you have to appreciate and love the body you are in because ultimately that is the same body you will be in when you do loose weight. You have to love all those curves and lumps lol. Now that was hard, because I have always looked at the changes I wanted rather than what I loved about my body. Changing the perception of my body has made the difference for me.  I love myself whether I'm tall or short and big or small. I AM ME!!!!
