I was feeling so down on myself yesterday. So the day before I ate a tuna spinach salad and a cauliflower the day before. I woke up the next day and I decided to weight myself and it says 5 pounds more. WTF? How I've been working very hard on my body and my eating habits to loose these last remaining 20 pounds I'm missing and I'm 5 pounds more? Mind you yesterday I went jean shopping and I dropped 3 sizes. So why is the scale saying something else. When I weight myself, My self esteem ... VIEW POST

But I also was in a state where I was facing my real issues with myself that I’ve been ignoring for some time. I was crying everyday and sometimes I’ll cry just to cry. What didn’t help ... VIEW POST
Growth and Journaling
I recently was cleaning up my bookshelf and book boxes cause I got a lot of them lol and came across some journals. I read some of my past journal entries and OMG what I can say is GROWTH. I read some entries from like two years ago and I am so glad I am not in that state of mind. I also realized how much I didn't believe in myself. I was in a very place a few years back because I was overwhelmed with work and I allowed people to take advantage of me both professionally and personally. But then ... VIEW POST
