Day 376...Year 2

Sometimes choosing to forgive someone for something they never apologized for is the hardest thing we can do... As I am going through this healing process I have had so many emotions and most of them have been directed at myself... But last week, my emotions were finally directed towards the one that did all of the damage and as hard as it is, knowing full well that I will NEVER get an apology from him... I had to forgive him... The only way I can get through my healing is by forgiving the one that did the damage and knowing I will never allow someone to hurt me like that again...

I was talking to Mom on the way home from the Pin Doc today, about when I was younger and how I never made it through a slumber party until I was in the 6th grade, I think... I would get to the point in the sleep over where we were getting ready for bed and then I would start to get upset and they would have to call my house and have someone come up the street to get me... We never understood why until now... It wasn't that I was afraid of the dark or of my friends, but rather what could happen to me in the dark, even though I was safe...

The hardest thing about healing, is letting go... Letting go of the hurt, the pain, the fear and the humiliation... I am ready to move forward, a happy and healthier me, both mentally and physically...

Love, peace and learning to let go...

Foolish heart looks like we're here againSame old game of plastic smile don't let anybody inHiding my heartache, will this glass house breakHow much will they take before I'm emptyDo I let it show, does anybody know?
But you see the real me hiding in my skin, broken from withinUnveil me completely I'm loosening my graspThere's no need to mask my frailty'Cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a maskSelf-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and danceLiving a charade, always on paradeWhat a mess I've made of my existenceBut you love me even now and still I see somehow
But you see the real me hiding in my skin, broken from withinUnveil me completely I'm loosening my graspThere's no need to mask my frailty'Cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you seeWhen you look at meYou're turning the tattered fabric of my life intoA perfect tapestry I just wanna be me
But you see the real me hiding in my skin, broken from withinUnveil me completely I'm loosening my graspThere's no need to mask my frailty'Cause you see the real me and you love me just as I amWonderful, beautiful is what you see when you look at me

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

Day 159 of 366

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
