I have always been larger than everyone else, taller and wider! As a child I would hide in the background as best I could. I never felt pretty or feminine in my youth. I took on the tom boy role, as that is where I thought I belonged. I never felt attractive to the opposite sex and had boys as friends not as suitors.
Once I met my husband my role started to change. I slowly started to discover my feminine side. My husband made me feel like a light weight, petite princess, something I had never experienced. I shed my awkward, clumsy wallflower casing and emerged a strong, confident lady.
This has been a slow process filled with unwavering encouragement from my husband and a dear friend. Now, I love nothing more than dressing up in a pretty frock, applying red lippy and strutting my stuff.
I still have a way to go, but I am stepping in the right direction and my path is filled with sunshine!

Yet another diet!
I have a real aversion to talking about diets. For some reason it gets me really upset when I talk about diets. Not whilst I talk about it but afterwards I always feel remorseful. Every couple of months I have a breakdown and throw out all diet books, delete all apps and unlike all fitness pages. Why? Because I don't want to have to follow a fitness and diet regime, I want effortless balance. And where has that gotten me? 10kgs in a year gained!!
Why am I opening up about this?
Why am I opening up about this?
I read this yesterday and it got me thinking. I have been too hard on myself. What is wrong with trying new diet and lifestyle ideas? Obviously it worked for someone, otherwise we wouldn't be hearing about it. The key is to find the protocol that resonates in you and you believe in. It is never the diets fault for not working, it's your belief in the diet that lacks dedication.
Our journey doesn't end until we find the lifestyle that works for us. This is our own healthy lifestyle, the changes made along the way to get to our goal. There may be 4 or 5 different approaches to get to this end goal and there is nothing wrong with that. Something different will work better at one time than another.
As the picture above says, You Can Do This! And so can I!!
