I am getting off this ride!!!

Two weeks ago I started my “Dance Myself to a Better Body” I have to say that everything was going well until I became sick for a whole week!! Not only was I physically sick but my emotions were going through turmoil! The last time I was that sick was when I had malaria I had just came back from Nigeria after my grandfather’s burial! RIP. Ironically I think I drop some inches due to the fact that I was unable to eat much. I am feeling much better now so I will resume my challenge. I think am going to get bored with it soon but I will try and hang in there as long as I can. I am already thinking of what my next challenge will be….. Maybe I will find a tennis partner that would be fun. I can feel spring in the air!!

     

This past two weeks has been a really rough emotional roller coaster for me. I cried a lot and it was not PMS. I feel spent emotionally and I have come to the point where I can no longer put my feeling and emotions out for people to trample on it. I place too much value in the friendships I have and I try to take people at face value. Sometimes I make the mistake of thinking that others invest in me emotionally as I invest my emotions in them. It only leaves me empty when my feelings and emotions are disregarded.  I have come to terms with the fact that relationships cannot be EQUAL one party will always have more invested then the other person. Be it financially, emotionally and even physically. I might not do things exactly the way that others in my circle would like me to do but at least I know that they can accept me for who I am. Do not try and negate my feelings and dictate for me how I should feel and respond to situations. The test of friendship is to understand the true characteristics of your friends and accept them for who they are!!

If you do not like what you see in the mirror change it!!

      MY GOAL/MOTIVATION..WATCH ME ACHIEVE!!

Everyone has what motivates them to make changes! I want to change my overall health I want to be able to go into stores and find cloths that fit my body! I am tired of wearing big sizes! Some people might not have a problem with their size but I have a problem with my size so I am going to make drastic changes. This world is full of women with body image issues including me but I choose to do adjust my body and self image. If you are happy with the way your body is I applauded you. Let me begin my journey, if you like you can join me!

     

     Today I am starting my “Dance Myself to a Better Body!! I have always loved dancing it sends me into a trance. Dancing can express whatever emotion that you want to expose it just matches my love for music. I will be dancing one hour each day for one month. I will update everyday on my progress. I am also changing my eating habits. I will be including salads and eating small portions each day. I cannot do the whole raw food diet but I will try to incorporate as much raw foods as possible.  If you do not like what you see in the mirror change it!!

Next to God I OWN ME!!

 I just want to make a short statement today!!!We all either know someone that is in a dysfunctional relationship or have been involved in a dysfunctional relationship. When we are insecure about who we are, and our abilities to stand alone we allow people into our lives that control us like the puppets on sesame street.  Take a stand for you; learn who you are and the many talents God has given you. You should refuse to allow people to dictate for you how you should feel, what you should say, how you should respond to situations, and how you should dress etc.  Do what you know in your HEART is best for you. Do not allow peoples’ ideas, and opinion to confuse you. Conquer your fears, never be afraid to stand alone remember you came into this world alone and you shall leave alone!!!!! You cannot take peoples opinion with you!!! OWN YOURSELF!!!!!
