Manic Monday

May 21, 2012

So, it's not REALLY a manic Monday, but it has been quite busy, thus my distracted blog post today. Over the weekend I put myself into a social situation that frankly scared the shit out of me and it all turned out fine. I didn't do anything out of place, offend anyone, spend the entire ...

Weight Loss Ninja

04.19.2012

This is just a silly post to display the shift in perception versus reality. My mental patience has been tested lately, and I’m working hard to overcome the feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. I hope someone else can relate to this :) A note from young grasshopper Emmie (my past): Hi, my name is Emmie and I’m …

Accepting the Struggle

04.17.2012

Today, I am still. The day is busy, but my mind eases from the strain of overanalyzing what is wrong with me and why I can’t look a certain way or lose weight as quickly as I want to. The nagging has taken a nap today, and for that I am grateful. Struggle has it’s purpose …
