Finding happiness to live your life!

#tbt! Going to the Chateau Élan last weekend reminded me of being in Paris and visiting the Loire Valley with Patrick last November! It was an amazing and memorable time!!! It may sound silly but before losing weight I didn't travel much at all, in fact it was hardly ever. When we went to Paris I was so excited because I had lost 40 lbs and I felt so much more alive! I struggled with depression and self esteem for years and most of my vacations were spent lying in bed eating cheesecake (my favorite!) and watching movies. I was too afraid to do the things I wanted and it was easier to just keep to myself. It was easier to hide than to really live my life. Not anymore! I love to travel and explore the world with Patrick! I'm not at my "goal weight" but I feel like I've won because I no longer feel afraid to just be me and have fun! If you could go anywhere, where would it be? Dream big! Let's make it happen!! Please feel free to add me as a friend!
