The hard part of writing a blog & a reminder why you need a cute workout outfit....

Hello dear friends!

I was overwhelmed by the feedback I received from yesterdays post.

Your emails and personal messages about your battles with food,

exercise, and hormonal imbalance really touched my heart.

I loved your words of encouragement and your own personal stories

of success and struggles.

Thank you!

You all mean so much to me.

When I wrote that post at 4AM yesterday, 

my hearts desire was to share my personal life long struggle with food

 and the desire to treat myself as I would my own children.

Unconditionally, the way God loves me.

To have that love and grace fill the void food fills, 

to understand why I don't allow myself 

to succeed.

The risk of writing something so personal, and so public, is that it can be misunderstood.

My writing style isn't complicated, eloquent or well organized.

I speak from my heart, and often I'm a little ADD, so my writing reflects that.

I am also very passionate about family.

I have shared stories on here many times about that love. 

I choose to keep this blog as a place for positive and heart felt experiences.

Yesterday, I shared about what my mom and sister said to me in our phone conversations. 

You need to know that I didn't take offense to their honesty. 

I know what they meant, and I needed to hear it.

It was part of a bigger conversation we were having.

So, if my writing style led you to believe I have an awful family please know we are sometimes blunt, we laugh a lot, even hurt each others feelings sometimes,

but I love them because we are a family.

Unconditionally.

Hey do you want to laugh? I thought I would share an old post reminding everyone 

why its important to have a cute workout outfit on hand.  Its from 2011, my first year blogging.
