My Journey: Reloaded

Why I'm Not Afraid to Blog About My Weight

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:14:27 -0500

Half of the people making fun secretly hate themselves. The last time i went at this the reactions were priceless. After posting before and after photos i had DMs, Facebook messages, and text messages filled with the most random people confessing their own body image issues and asking how i conquered mine. But that’s not what surprised me. What surprised me was that among those people were some of the jerks that made high school hell for me as an overweight teen, and now they, with plenty of added pounds, wanted to know MY “secret”. I empathized because i had been there…but i laughed because karma’s a bitch.

I’m an advocate for good health. As a nursing student i think i’m a natural believer in good health. Yes, i began blogging for my own entertainment because i wanted to witness my journey…but i do it for my viewers/readers too. I learned so much from other bloggers, and i was inspired by so many of them. If only 4 people check out my blog, I’m satisfied if i encouraged at least one to live a healthier lifestyle.

For people on the outside there’s nothing to really laugh at. Laughing at me for improving my health is like laughing at someone with a 4.0 for being smart. Who’s the idiot here? I am WINNING by LOSING. Maybe one day you can be a winner too…

Its fun & Its about ME. I just made a video 20 mins ago and mid way I had forgotten that it was me talking. I may or may not actually have personality lol and since that was only like my 6th video ever made I’m like 99.99% sure i’m gonna get much better. Its my blog, my videos, and my words and that means that I get to be the star. If you’re gonna watch my videos and judge me…remind yourself that ITS NOT ABOUT YOU.

Everyone has flaws. You may not be overweight, but you probably have some other issue hanging around. No one is perfect. Let me fight my battles and i’ll let you fight yours.

“If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.”
