Get Real...

   

    Today I am setting aside time to clean! I have stuff to take to my storage unit and I have SO, SO many clothes to go through and get rid of! 

 

    As most of you know, a year and some change ago I committed myself to losing weight and starting a journey that I never thought I could ever in a million years do or succeed at!

 

    Losing weight has always been so hard for me, impossible to stick to and my depression and anxiety never allowed me to get very far! 

 

    I’ve successfully lost over 100 pounds and working towards more! I don’t need to be skinny! Just confident in who I am and how I feel! 

 

    So, I have my big girl clothes still, process weight loss clothes, and current clothes. I am SWIMMING in clothing! So I desperately need to go through it all and get rid of stuff that I know I will never wear again! 

 

    In a weird way, I am sad! I spent a long time back then collecting clothes I felt comfortable in! And I’m sad to see them go. In another way, I CAN’T WAIT to NEVER see that size ever again! 

 

    It’s a process! But as a bigger person, you have to get real about your situation. 

 

  1. I had to get REAL comfortable with clothes not fitting me right. 
  2. I had to get REAL about peopling saying things like, “for a bigger girl, you’re kind of cute!”
  3. I had to get REAL okay with how people looked at me as a bigger girl. 
  4. I had to get REAL thick skin with all the comments people made about me. 
  5. I had to get REAL comfortable with not being able to do most things everyone else was doing. 
  6. I had to get REAL about not fitting in tighter places or most places at all because the world is not tailored to larger people. 

    And now....

 

  1. I have a REAL outlook on life. 
  2. I have a REAL connection with my mind, body and soul!
  3. I have a REAL love relationship with fashion and know that it’s okay to love clothing!
  4. I have a REAL desire to do all the things I missed out on before! 
  5. I have a REAL understanding of my own beauty and know it’s not tethered to my size. 
  6. I have a REAL desire for wanderlust for all the places that I know I can go now! 

 

    I have said it before and I’ll say it again, MINDSET is GOLD! If you change your mindset, you can change your goals, if you can change your goals, you can change your life! 

 

    You don’t have to stay stuck, you just have to keep moving! 


XOXO

Jumping in HEAD first into JOY!

Image
I jumped back into illustration after a mild hiatus (minus commissions!) and let me tell you, it feels so good to create just to create again! This brought me so much joy to create and my maximalist heart had a little bit of trouble putting the pencil down! I’m on a mission to only do things that bring me joy from here on out. No exceptions!

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.
