Look at Your Girl...

So check it, I've struggled with being comfortable in my skin before. 

I wanted a nose job, disliked my wrinkled hands, contemplated a Breast reduction and fought with having the "banana ring"... You know typical woman stuff.. 

As I grew older, I began to process my thoughts. Was I trying to fit in or did I really need to fix my self imposed issues? 

I'm learning to understand my body and the things I put in it. If I want to lose weight or be comfortable in my skin, I 1st have to love ME. And I do, wholeheartedly with my entire being. I'm kinda a Big Deal, dope if I do say so myself! Lol 

A while back, I purchased this shirt. When I went to finally wear it, it was to small. Yikes! I couldn't button in for the life of me. Today, as I was cleaning and preparing clothes to pack for this weekend, I glanced at the shirt. I thought to myself, you've been healthy, working out, drinking water, no sweets! Go for it! So I did and look atcha girl( please ignore the hair, it'll be laid tomorrow😊 tho) 

Does the running man, I can fit it! HaHaHaHaHa!! Go me!! 

It's the small victories that remind me, girl you're alright! 

Signed, 

Let me get cute and wear this Shirt!! 

Stop being greedy

Yesterday was clean the fish tank day. We're horrible. The little tank goes months on end without us cleaning it out. Once it gets to like 1/2 empty, I'll just add fresh water and solution. Don't judge us, we named the fish Lucky. Lucky to be alive, lucky to be fed just plain lucky. 

My morning was slow, so I took a few minutes and cleaned out Lucky's tank. It was nice and sparkly. Afterwards, I even fed Lucky because I honestly didn't know the last time he'd been fed. 

As I prepared dinner, I happen to look up and son poured half the container of fish food into the tank. Ughhhhhh and anyone who has goldfish you know they will just continue to eat. 

Within a matter of 20 mins, the water was blurred and lil Lucky was still eating. And it hit me. Lucky has human characteristics. No matter what, if you feed a Person something they like, they will continue to come back. Feed a person garbage ( ie, gossip) they keep coming back. Feed a person knowledge they will debate it. 

Today, I challenge each of you to remove the clutter and garbage. Quit over eating on the things that are not going to edify your brain and your soul. Take a moment or two and love on your life and the good that's added too it. 

Remove things of the past than have hurt you and made you feel unwanted, less than or not enough.

Over eat on your success and not the failures. Over eat on things that are healthy. When you leave room for garbage, before you know it there's tons waiting to be thrown out... Take a moment and throw it out before it stinks!
