My whole life, I feel like I've been focused on my weight. And that's a shame. I'm smart and funny and a great dancer (OK, maybe great is exaggerating, but you get the point). I used to believe I was heavy because my mother and grandmothers were heavy. It was in my genes, ran in the family, etc. I was kidding myself.
I am heavy because I eat too much and move too little.
There it is in black red and white. It's no one else's fault. It's been my decision, my choice all along.
And I have chosen the wrong things consistently. But that's all about to change. I'm making some new habits, changing my way of thinking. I'm not a victim anymore. It's no one else's fault. It's not my family, my ex-husband, my kids, my cousins--it's MY TURN. I'm taking care of me. I have to believe I'm worth saving. And that's what I'll be working on, day by day right here.
I am heavy but I can change that. I deserve to be healthy and fit.
I am heavy but I am not a bad person.
I am heavy and I am beautiful.
