“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

I just came across this quote while doing some research for work.. and I realized.... Ive spent my whole life doing that.. When I was younger, I wanted to be my pretty friends, then I got older and wanted to be that woman in a magazine or on the movie screen.. Now, Ive realized, I just want to be ME! Because I KNOW I am an amazing woman! I AM beautiful, I AM sexy, I AM deserving of love and affection and appreciation the same way I give it... I dont want to be them, because ya know what? Theyre probably not HALF as awesome as I am! What I am in the process of doing right now, is making my outside feel as awesome as my insides, and it has been easier for me to lose weight now than it ever has been in the past, because I KNOW, without a doubt in my mind, that I AM WORTH IT!!! I know my worth in this world and in the lives of all of the ppl that I love and care about. People have always told me how great they think I am, but ya know what? I never saw it.. I just saw this lil fat girl who didnt deserve anything, JUST GIVE ME CAKE!!!!!! But now I know, I am a remarkable woman, and I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO!!!!!

I have a *kitten* ex who decided I could raise our child on my own....
I gave my heart to someone who didnt appreciate it....
Ive been torn down mentally and emotionally to points of wanting to slice my wrists to make it all go away....

I turned to food to comfort me.. I binged, I ate just cuz... Well, those days are over..
because I am worth and deserve so much more than that....
I AM WORTH EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD!!!!

What I tell myself everytime I want to eat something NOT good for me "Being healthy is going to feel so much better than that food tastes!!!!!"
*That is what gets me thru the "weak" moments :)

Im done now! lol..I really WAS just going to share the quote!

    Great quote & great post! It's important to recognize that you are valuable & amazing & special - and you are! - but it can be really tough sometimes. Confidence is one of the most important "muscles" we build up around here!

    That was an amazing quote. I have felt the same as you many times in my 54 years of fat living. I will remember your quote and try to live by your example. Thank-you.
