Self-Worthy?

Self Worth. A tricky topic because it goes deep into yourself; a scary place for people to be. Lately I have been doing some soul searching and trying to find a piece of me that I feel has been missing. I know I lack self worth, but I didn’t know how to fix that, well because, I didn’t truly understand what self worth was.

My Five Year Plan

About five years ago I had made a five year plan; a plan for where I wanted my life to be, what I wanted to have accomplished, and how my overall life would look. Honestly, if you look at my current life and then look at my visionary life I made up 5 years ago…… it wouldn’t even look similar; I felt like such a failure.

“Magic” Fat Burners….NOPE

Since I was an overweight kid, and a girl at that, I definitely felt the body image pressure and have probably used every “fat loss” trick out there. I used and abused fat loss pills, fat loss drinks, crash diets, body cleansers, metabolism boosters, fat burners, phentermine, fat loss shakes, etc, you name it, I took it. Here is my thing

Super Bowl Food Tips

Now, for people trying to lose weight or watch their nutrition, Super Bowl Sunday can be a living nightmare. I believe that we should enjoy our weight loss journeys and not have to restrict ourselves too much, so I put together some tips for eating during the SuperBowl.

Battling the Mind

This week has been hard….. And it is only Wednesday.

The People Around You

I want you to think about the people you hang around with, that are your support systems, your friends, family, co-workers; also think about your goals, dreams, desires. Do they help you towards your targets or are they dragging you further away? Maybe, they aren’t doing either, you are just stagnant.

How to Stop Binging

First of all, I’d like to start by saying mental illness seems like a scary word to most people, myself included, and I think people think it is scary because society portrays it to be. Having a mental illness does not make you any less of a person, does not make you crazy, and there are more people than you think that have a mental illness, but either are too scared to open up about it or don’t even realize they are struggling with one.

Tips to a Successful Week

Sunday fun day! Lazy Sunday! Aw no, tomorrow is Monday! How about, Yay! Strategize Sunday! I think it could catch on? For most people, I know Sundays are their days to relax, clean the house, or wear pajamas all day and binge watch Netflix. (I may or may not have done this a few times….)

Never Forget Your Journey

“Promise me you’ll always remember…. you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
Sometimes because things change so much, you forget where you once started, but I never want to forget where I came from and everything I went through, because it taught me so much about who I am. So to me, promise me you’ll always remember..
