ups and downs and back to texas....

Its been, I'd say, about 3 months since I've last blogged. I've been on an emotional roller coaster for the past few months. Up and down in emotion and weight....I'd have to say one of my lowest points was having to say goodbye to my husband while he deployed yet another time to war territory and I packed up and headed home.

Yet out of the sadness came some positivity. As I began to pack my clothes to leave, I began to notice how sentimental I was over some of the pieces of clothing I owned. However, as I looked closer, I also noticed one huge mistake I had made. I never got rid of my fat clothes. For some reason I clung to that stuff for dear life. I mean don't get me wrong I am in no way skinny but my fat clothes was huge in every way!

It took me back to earlier this year when I was visiting home and my brother had referred to my summer dresses as moomoos. So instead of holding tight I began to purge. I goodwilled every single huge dress, sweater, top, and pant I owned. After all, you CAN'T move forward if you don't let go of your past.

So fast forward to today. I'm back in Texas and all the clothimg I own fits in one suitcase and three banker boxes. It feels great to know that I was able to walk away from that.

I've got a long way to go and every day I discover something new about myself. I'm trying to view my setbacks not as failures but as lessons to be learned. No one in this world is perfect and life's not about being skinny. Its about living a healthy quality of life and loving yourself. We all have it in us to finish our journeys. Stick to it and don't feel Like your any less important then someone else. Happy workouts to all!
