I say I want them, but I put neither time nor effort into making any of them happen

one reason I gained weight — nearly 100 pounds since then — is that I wanted desperately to disappear. I wanted to fade into whatever room I was in, as interesting or appealing as an old throw rug. Rationally, I know that can’t happen because statistically well over 50% of women experience sexual assault and 81% have experienced harassment (according to the CDC), so women are targets regardless of appearance. Rationally, I know that, but I still feel how I feel.

I think very low of myself and it’s something I want to work on

Keywords: {0}

I am a very anxious person but I pretend to be relaxed so I don’t get judged. I am also afraid of judgment. I feel invisible to everyone I’ve ever met. I love to sleep because it makes me feel at peace. I get along with people who are older than me and I wish I knew why. I am terrified of change but I want change so badly. I am insecure about my body just like every other teenage girl.

She deserves a mom who isn’t measuring her self worth against that last roll of fat that will not budge off of her stomach (seriously, why the hell is that thing still sticking around), and who will bake (and eat) cookies with her on a cold winter’s day.

I wanna show people that if you have a good idea then all you gotta do is act it out and find a way to really construct an act

When I went to that show [Boylesque], there was not a single performer who was exactly who I wanted to be. They were different and that’s how I got the courage. You don’t need someone who is exactly like you, you just need to see that there’s room for everybody.

I have so much fun dressing up when I want to

Keywords: {0}

I made myself feel BEAUTIFUL by taking care of myself for real for the first time ever. I bought clothes that fit my body now, not my pre-pregnancy body that still laughs at me when I look in the mirror. Wearing clothes that fit me made me feel more confident and happy with my body now.

I want to become the best version of myself day by day

Keywords: weight loss

I’m just another ordinary mama keeping herself accountable.. I needed a place to document my life’s memorable moments, weight loss, foods, workouts, and inspiration without feeling like my family and friends are my only spectators. I’d rather relate/support accounts similar to mine, clap for one another, and not annoy those who don’t feel like being a part of my journey.

Recently, I have been practicing that phrase to help center me in times of high anxiety and doubt. It did just that, and this time it helped me remember how badly I want to think back on this moment 8 months from now and laugh for being scared to start, how badly I want to feel comfortable 3 weeks from now when I shop for my wedding dress, and how badly I want to continue to write these blogs with an honest hand.
