I lost my way

Original post date 6/21/17 (failed to actually post)

Well...it's been two years since I last wrote. I can't believe how fast time goes, how big plans go down the drain and I end up exactly where I was two years ago (weight-wise/health-wise that is). I am, however, going to give this one more shot. I know part of the downfall in blogging I've had in the past is not setting a specific time to sit down and write, so here it is...my commitment...(dun dun dun) I plan to write down my goals for the day each morning and reflect on then each night. I will then create a blog post about that week on Sunday morning to be posted on Monday.

As I've mentioned before, this blog will be about my journey to a healthier me or as I'm going to call it the journey to find my inner goddess. Let me be real with you. I am overweight and I feel fat more days than I feel ok our good about myself. I eat crap when I'm down, have a bad day, or am stressed and then feel guilty for doing it. I have a lot of days when I just feel ugly and gross. Now I know some of you are thinking, "Wow this is going to be a depressing blog!" But the purpose of writing all of this down is for me to work through these things, to find out what helps me have a better relationship with myself, food, and others, and to truely find my beautiful inner goddess.

I should also mention that I don't want to be a "skinny" woman. That's not what I'm looking for. I want to be the best version of myself. Someone who loves herself and feels comfortable in her skin. Someone who can play with her kids and not be totally winded after 5 min (if that). Someone who feels confident and beautiful even when she's in sweats and a baggy t-shirt with no make-up on and messy hair. Someone who has a healthy relationship with food and doesn't eat to fight the emotions inside. Someone who is strong and can do hard things. I want all of this and maybe, just maybe, by sharing my journey I can help someone else.

Thank you for stopping by and let's go find our inner goddesses together.
