I've done alot of thinking about things that have happened over the past two weeks, from starting to lose weight to losing 10 lbs in almost two weeks to losing two supposed friends who decided they would stab me in the back. Its taken me awhile to finally realize that I cannot control everything or change things that are not able to be changed, so my attitude is that right now its my time to shine and those who do not fit into my life need not be there. Going to the gym and losing those 10 lbs already are showing me that if I put my mind to things I can do anything that I want to, and to never doubt what I can do - I can do anything, I've just gotta do them.

Reading the post that my friend smouldering made earlier really hit a chord with me - I've always put everyone first and worried more about them than I did about me which is a big reason why I am the way that I am. I've made more mistakes in my life than I can count and I'm not nearly perfect, but I'm only human and I will make mistakes for as long as I am here. I am learning to accept my flaws and realize that the mistakes that I make will only make me stronger in the end - I am not responsible for what other people think of me, I am only responsible for how I think of myself. Others opinion of me are theirs and theirs alone, I can't change that but I can change how I think of myself and be more positive about myself.

I've learned alot about myself in 2 to 3 months of soul searching, and especially these last two weeks through everything that I've had to deal with. I can finally look in the mirror and see someone that I am becoming proud of; I'm seeing someone who is taking responsibility for her actions and becoming a healthier human being. I'm alot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for and even though it took almost 32 years to figure all of this out, there is obviously a reason for it and I will embrace that proudly. This is my year to truly break out of my shell and create my own life, its about time and I know now that I can do it where as before I had the belief that I couldn't do it ......... see how much you can learn about yourself in such a short time?
