Updates

First off, I apologize for the delay in posts.  You know the saying, "be care what you wish for?"  Well I'm learning that lesson at work.  I was bored, asked for more work and now I am overwhelmed.  I know it will get better, but this month has been insane.  Hopefully I will start to have more time for the blog.

I wanted to update you on two issues that I have been working on this year.  The first goal I had for myself this year was to find my passion.  Figure out what it was that made me happy and do it.  I am happiest when I am writing.  So after talking to my dad and step mom, I decided to write a book.  The book is continuously changing.  It was going to be a romance book with a plus size female.  Then I realized I didn't know what that would look like.  So now not only does she fall in love with a man, she falls in love with herself.  I feel that these are both important topics for plus sized women and I hope I do the story justice.

The other thing that I really wanted to work on this year was my body image. I really didn't know how or where to begin on this one, but I knew that it was very important to me.  I am completely comfortable not being stick thin, but I still see myself as I was before I lost 92 pounds.  I started by subscribing to various things on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr that promote healthy plus sized women.  That way whenever I would log on, I would see these gorgeous women.  Let me tell you, it has helped tremendously.  I've also decided that even though I still want to lose more weight, I am happy with where I am now.  The fatigue that I've been battling is starting to go away, so I hope to get back to working out a few days a week soon. 

What are your goals for yourself?  Have you accomplished any of them?  If so, how?  How do you plan to accomplish the one's that you are still working on?

Until Next Time,
