Beautification

I have never been the girl that hated everything about herself. I never really wanted to change a lot about the way I looked. I have always just been... who I am... take it or leave it... love it or hate it.

When it comes to happiness, it shouldn't be defined by how many rolls you have on your body, the color of your eyes, how big your hair gets in humidity, or how splotchy your skin is. Happiness is so much more than what you look like or sound like, it should be about how blessed you are, how you can bless others... things like that are what's important. If I never lose weight, if my makeup isn't great it doesn't change who I am. None of that can ever change the fact that I have been blessed with amazing family, friends and the opportunity to change the world. God is good, and He blesses beyond measure. We can get caught up in appearance, or talents or whatever else but the reality is that none of it matters. What are you doing with your life??

nope... just fat...

Gaining weight is not something I would recommend... however let's just all be honest... IT HAPPENS! For whatever reason, people gain weight. Now, I have NEVER been a skinny person, for my entire never was a skinny girl, never cared, didn't cry about it, didn't desire to be it. I lost a good bit of weight right before my wedding, for the obvious reasons... who doesn't want to look AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE in their wedding dress. Well, apparently the weight missed me, because it all came back... with some friends! Still, it never really bothered me...

Until yesterday!

Someone who doesn't see me often, and hasn't seen me in a while, asked if I was pregnant. Now, let me be clear, I don't know what made (or possessed) this person to ask, however all I could think was "OH MY WORD, I am fat!" 

Generally, I don't pay any attention to other people and their opinions. But this is a whole different ball game! SO... Low-Cal diet and exercise to begin ASAP! I mean, let's just be real... if you are NOT pregnant (which I AM NOT) the last thing you want is to be assumed pregnant! AWKWARD!

Now, I'm not interested in losing all kinds of crazy weight or anything. I just #1 want to be healthier, because I want to have as much energy as I possibly can get. And #2 I do not want anyone else EVER to think I am pregnant, until I actually am! 

This should be a very interesting next few weeks, considering I HATE vegetables with everything in my being! I'm hoping that I can learn to like them... but we will see about that. 

Life can be so funny sometimes! I love who I am and the way I am... I would just also LOVE to avoid any other awkward moments!
