Fairy godmother.....no thanks

I have been following many of your posts for some time and find the majority of everyone's words encouraging; even when some of you blog about your not-so-great-days it is encouraging. I'm not looking for a fairy tale-I want real life experience. I feel like I have been living a fairy tale for too long. Sticking my head in the sand by telling myself it doesn't matter whether or not I am a "normal" size. All I have to do is prove to everyone I am worthy by going the extra mile, always being the girl that people want to talk to, always being nice when maybe the recipient doesn't deserve nice and of course being the fun girl. For some reason FAT = FUNNY! ? Maybe losing weight won't change any of this BUT it would be crazy awesome to be on the other side and know these qualities are just my personality and not a forced trait to help me cope with being overweight.

 

So here I am documenting my journey to becoming a healthier, thinner me. My goal is to have created my own happy ending by the end of the story and have peace of mind knowing that at midnight I won't turn back into a pumpkin!

 

Until Next Post,

Buggie

Having my band is not a fairy tale life, but learning a different way to live my life. This road can take you in several different directions, but each of us must stay focused on where we truly want to end up. Some people are more dedicated than others and it shows and others want instant results and it's not always the way things will work. This year has taught me a lot of valuable lessons about goals, staying focused, and loving myself at all cost. Good luck.
