Dear Me......

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You have withdrawn from life in so many ways from being hurt.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,
:heart:
Me

    Now that's the way we should talk to ourselves. Self love can be very hard, but always worth it. Healing the mind, building the body. It's a crucial intersection.

    To wit: Go, honey go!

    All I can say is that this is extremely powerful message and you are an amazing woman to take the control back of your life. You will no doubt get back to who you truly are and I expect you will find a more powerful you at the end.

    Wow! That could have easily been titled Dear Everyoneintheuniverse.

    Thank you for hitting on universal truths and for being kinder to yourself starting today.

    BTW check your overnight bag for your curling iron, that's where mine usually turns up.

    I just re-read the awesomeness of this.

    It's funny the timing of this, because this is the first week I've been wearing makeup every day to work, dresses and heels also. Yesterday I wrote a blog here about an NSV - and how I looked in the mirror and for the first time ever I thought/felt and believed I was pretty.

    I feel like lifting heavy has really helped me and pushed me to feel more confident and baeutiful.
