Head Held High

I've noticed that since I've been home I'm not putting up with anyone's shit. The kids are GOING to listen to me, even if it's the last thing I do. My house will be in order. Laundry will be caught up. And so on. I've also noticed that I hold my head up higher. My shoulders are back and relaxed (as well as I can lol). I also feel my old confidence coming back. It's amazing what time away can do for your heart, head and soul. I'm even loving my body. I have a doctor appointment next week and I'm acually looking forward to it! I want to sit in the Doc's office and proudly say, "I'm taking my meds. AND I'm eating!!". I'm ready to get on the scale...not to ready, but ready none the less. I'm proud of myself. I'm going to my DPT classes everyweek, doing the homework and seeing my counciler only once a week now. I'm so pleased! I'm prolly not supposed to brag or anything, but it's been a very long time I've felt like this. I've put my foot down and people are noticing. IT'S GREAT!!

Before and After

I was going through my friend Mariah's wedding pictures and found one that really shocked me. It was taken in October 2009. I'm posting that picture. I'm also posting a picture that was taken only a couple of weeks ago. It was truly eye opening for me. I cried. I'm still crying. I had no idea. Sometimes seeing IS believing.
