Day 348....Embracing Curves

Hello Friends and Followers:

Well I've made it to day 348! This is so exciting for me to say i've accomplished most of my weight loss goals in the last 348 days. This past weekend I did a photo shoot with my friend & photographer Stacey Morris, the photo shoot was mainly to focus on my weight loss and also about embracing the curves that I have. Stacey is a great photographer and really knows how to make you feel comfortable. Once I get the photos back I will be posting them on my blog for all of you to see.
I got to thinking about my childhood a bit and I remember just being carefree and dressing in whatever clothes I wanted to without fear of being judged on how this might make me look fat. Sometimes, I wish life had a rewind button to go back to those days of just not caring. To be so carefree and see the beauty within yourself would be just GREAT! I think sometimes as we grow, we learn all the negatives in this life and become so judgemental of our selves that it truely brings down our characters. We think that the way we look defines how we will be perceived. If I could silence the mental "fat girl" voice, I would in a heartbeat! Its like "SHUT UP VOICE" I know that with the determination I have inside that one day I will conquer this inner beast just like I am conquering the weight loss journey. I know that we all have critics and people who simply want you make you feel so bad about yourself but I will not allow this in my life anymore. I have learned to walk away from people who try to belittle my ambitions or try to break my character simply because they feel I should wear a size 2!

Children Fear No Judgement! Why do we?

Feeling Carefree... Are you?



I think curves are a beautiful thing and I think everyone should embrace their own individual curves! Its like OWN them, LOVE them and FLAUNT them! Since losing the weight I've realized I am not your typical model type with a very thin straight body, yet someone who has curves! I 'd rather have curves, be toned and healthy! So will you own your curves?
