  1. Self Acceptance

    · nicole1095 · 03/28/2012 14:38

    I struggle with self acceptance and Im not sure y? I hoping with the weight loss and more respect for myself this will no longer be an issue. I have always wanted to fit in with my girlfriends but I feel I stand out like a sore thumb. I used to be a social butterfly and now a days im a hermet crab. I struggle with being around a crowd of people It makes me very anxious. Im not my normal bubbly friendly self. Im shy quiet and come off rude and snobby but by no means am I any of that. With this weight loss journey im on im hopping to find me again. Lose weight and gain self acceptance and I know I can do it with support and motivation. And When I go out I can feel great and have a good time instead of worrying about hiding my fat rolls or when I sit down can you see my back fat.....My goal is to go out have fun for me and no one else and look great doing it......
     
    Being a single mom I don't go out often so this will be all new to me again. It's a chore to get me to go to the store then I have to worry about what Im going to wear (not to look cute) just to make sure I don't look like a clown in clothes that are to tight or that don't fit me. I usually wear jeans and an oversized t-shirt that way Im covered and don't feel suffocated. So im just kinda of rambling on then point of my blog is to gain self acceptance back. I have taken responsibility for me being overweight and out of shape now I want my self acceptance back and I WILL GET IT!!!!

  2. Bathing Suit Shopping

    · nicole1095 · 03/27/2012 21:49

    So with this new journey that im on i have been thinking alot about bathing suit shopping. Keeping in mind i haven't owned a bathing suit in about 8 years. When ever we go to the beach or lake i usually wear tank top and shorts no big deal or I just don't go becuz lets be real im a bigger person and i sweat in heat and i hate to be hot. So with my on day 4 of my post op and 16lbs lighter im looking toward summer and all the fun things i plan on doing with my 2y/o son.
     
    On the other hand how comfortable am I going to be showing off that much skin?? My 1st reaction is like HELL YEA!! show off my hard work but I didn't do it for anybody but me. So im struggling mentally what kind of bathing suit will i get? will i still cover up? how comfortable will i feel? So much to think about..... But im really missing the big picture here I WILL FINALLY HAVE OPTIONS!!!!!! Like b4 going in2 a store like lane bryant and spending $100 on a swim suit that i don't really like or going into a store and just getting a plain black one that supposed to hide everything. Now I will be able to go into diff stores try on whatever I want and in diff colors and won't have to pay extra for the bigger size!!!! So excited for that!!!!!
