Lighter and Free

Here’s a story for you... every single time I decide to go on a diet my motivation has always included to be able to shop in a regular store. I’ve been trying to shrink myself just to be able to walk out/check out of a shop with a small, medium or large clothing item! For about 25 years!!!

I’ve lost close to 100 pounds twice and it still didn’t get me there. WTF? I literally spend so much time wanting this yet it always seems unattainable. I can remember trips to the mall and going into certain stores and just rushing to the back to check out the earrings because they always fit! Would a skinny friend do that in a big girl store? Perhaps. I guess so, maybe... I just don’t think they spend the same amount of time obsessing about getting to fit into a plus sized outfit!

So today I post this photo of me in a cute new top from a shop full of skinny clothes that I still hope to someday fit in but I’m over here trying to feel my feelings and let it go... to have my motivation just to be lighter and healthier and free.

If this resonates with you and you’ve read this far... I’d love to chat sometime! I know I can’t be the only one.
