I am now working on my next journey. On Monday, I will be sitting in a dentist's chair getting some teeth pulled to get ready for braces in January..Once this is done, I will finally be to accept myself in my own head...

Yes it is hard work, but the results are so damn well worth it..I would never allow myself to fall back into that life again..I am a happier person now and I am enjoying it.

I bought a bikini last year, so I could take my nieces and nephew swimming. I haven't worn a bathing suit in general in over ten years before that. I still have that bikini and yes a size 10 is awesome...

I have also noticed, that my body isn't as bloated anymore and I love being told how gorgeous I am..Something my brain would never allow me to except before this journey..My shyness has been kicked to the curb and it felt wonderful to go attend the Reunion...I got to finally enjoy being myself! I say, we put the rock in Little Rock next year!

Hugs and keep it up girlie!!

This journey is not just for physical health, but for mental/spiritual well being! It's amazing how making so many positive changes can create a domino effect... and seems like everything else starts looking up as well! Zimmeh, we are all so proud of you that you continue this journey. Yes, you are beautiful, inside & out! Not to mention a pure delight to be around. Bright light sister, bright light!
