Dear Me,

IowaPrincess

Dear Me,

You're chubby, loud, you talk too much, you over analyze,
and sometimes you're down right lazy.
You have let people try to change you.
You have let yourself down mentally and physically.
You cry over people that don't deserve your tears.
You eat your emotions.
You have withdrawn from life in so many ways from being hurt.
You arent YOU anymore.

But dont you worry, I am here and we are going to get thru this together.
We are going to eat right, exercise, and throw on some damn makeup.
Did you lose your curling iron... GO find it!
We are going to remember that woman that you were and by God we are getting her back.
Remember her???
She was beautiful and funny... she was like a candle that people were drawn to.
She loved every part of life and never felt less or insecure.
Dont worry, she will come back... because no one loved her more than we did.

Love you,

Me

I love this post! I laughed out loud at the part about finding the curling iron. I can absolutely relate to all of these things. Just hang tight and you will get there! You've got the motivation and the spirit!

You write what I used to think for so long...I am still working to be the old me and its hard work. But the more fun I become the happier I get!

Beautifully put!
Good luck and let me know if you need company on your journey.
I'm doing a jailbreak on myself as well.

Dear you,
You are strong.
You have the support of many here.
You have a bright, long future to look forward to.
The curling iron will turn up.
And tomorrow is something you control,
not something that happens.
Good luck in your journey!

You haven't met me; yet you describe me perfectly, especially the eating emotion.

You are strong because you expressed your feelings. You are doing great!
