    I don't know if other ladies feel this way but when I'm not working out or in my focus of weight loss, I am so into beauty and such. I guess it's a way to at least distract from being grossly fat. But now being back into weight loss and really pushing about fitness I can barely motivate myself to give myself a pamper day. I do the basic makeup because I'm still grossly fat and therefore must wear makeup to look presentable but if I had my way I would work from home, go to the gym and never be seen until I hit my goal. But alas finding a role that hits salary needs and work from home haven't come to me yet. I love the flow of fitness and I know I have a few things to work out about balance of fitness ie not feeling like a whale when I am tired but need to work out or being very deathly afraid of food I am happy I'm more aware this round of trying to get to 150lbs than before. I have a lot to get off but balance will hopefully come.

    Just as women of colour we know that we need to take our seat at the table, the same fervor of prioritizing pampering day and allotted time for daily devotions and workouts +rest days needs timetabling.

    A friend highlighted to me a few years ago, that I work all the time ... Workout all the time ... Even pamper myself on my beauty days, ONLY, when did I allocate the time to let myself know that I appreciate the efforts I make on the daily to make bank? As in, when do I just make time to splurge FOR ME.

    Remember, as sisters, taking our place at the table, also applies to taking a seat at your own table.

    So much THIS.

    When you read replies to quoted posts, one replying flips the initial thought out of context and into a whole other conversation.

    Be careful with telephone with those people.

    Do you’re saying bacon doesn’t belong on burgers?

    So you're saying that cheeseburgers should only be eaten alone?

    I'm outraged

    I honestly don't know you well enough to react in any way other than slowly (doing the forum version of) walking away. I'm glad to see this post, though...in the future, I *will* encourage you towards greatness!

    Just because we think you’re cute doesn’t mean we have daddy issues. Sheesh. Taking it all out of context

    I for one was thoroughly disgusted. And I have daddy issues.

    My friend took his 8-year old girl to the office with him on, "Take Your Kid to Work Day." He told me as they were walking around the office, she starting crying and getting very cranky, so he asked what was wrong.

    As his coworkers gathered round, she sobbed loudly, "Daddy, where are all the clowns that you said that you worked with?!"

    I needed this reminder. I have a girly girl dream of products too which makes it bad. I have noticed I haven't wante to buy much beauty things just the basics food. I think I will make a bit of a splurge as I'm super proud that I haven been killing the gym and its the small wins.
