I'm definitely one of those people. Whenever I imagine the future I always imagine myself thinner. I think it's a natural thing. Whether that be healthy or not, I'm not an expert in the matter. I just know that if it makes you happy and it doesn't hurt others then do whatever it takes to make you happy.
So I've decided that this summer, I'm going to be serious about my health and weight loss. Yes, I do tend to say this every summer. But I know that this is different. I feel it. In the 6 days that I've been home, 2 of which had great weather I went on 3 mile walks. On both of those walks I found myself at the top of Mt. Pleasant.
While standing at the top and peering down, I was faced with a very real thought, just how small we all are. In the grand scheme of things, we're all insignificant unless we do something worthwhile. So in my quest of losing weight this summer, and ultimately finding myself, I want to give back. I want to find a way to make my presence in this world, felt by it.
I know that I like who I am on the inside, as a person, as a friend, daughter, and woman. So now I just need to like what I look like on the outside.

“Sometimes it’s really easy to shrug it off and other times, things have pinched more. I think most of us are like that, right? Someone lobs a snide remark your way, and sometimes you can laugh about it, while other times you can actually feel the sting. I’m actively working hard on learning to appreciate yourself no matter what. If what someone else says can easily derail you, it means your sense of self isn’t that firmly established in the first place. It’s an inside job. You’re beautiful and worthy and totally unique. People insult each other based on their own insecurities - even though it may feel personal, it really never is. Really. Seriously.”
