Hello Friends💕

Today is sort of a touchy subject to me because it's about weight.

In today's society we're made to think we have to look like Victoria secret models, or we won't be loved an accepted.

Let me tell you this. If you're trying to loose or gain weight to be accepted by society, or by a guy you're doing it all wrong.

The only way others will accept you is if you accept yourself. The idea of accepting myself is one I have struggled with for years and I still struggle with it on a daily basis.

Most days I can stand in front of the mirror and love my body, but other days when people like my parents bring up my weight I look in the mirror and feel awful about my body. Talking about my weight is something I don't like to talk about, but I made a promise to everyone who reads this and myself that I would be completely honest with everyone so here we go.

I do love certain parts of my body, but some need a little bit of toning. I'm changing my diet for starters. Okay not going to lie, some days I go with not one cup of water. I know, I'm bad, and it needs to change.

Also, even though it is not excuse, it is the holidays. The food is everywhere, and I'm not talking about healthy food. The temptation is awful, especially when those sugar cookies and pumpkin pies are calling my name. What I've been telling myself is to take everything one day at a time.

Another I need to do is start drinking more tea. Tea is so good for you it isn't even funny.

And lastly is excersising. I am sooooo awful for this. I run up and down stairs all day, but when I get home I do nothing. All I want to do is sleep to be completely honest.

So I'm not waiting till New Years, I'm finishing my last chapter of 2014 with the start of a journey.

Point of this is society pressures us to be thin, when you really just have to accept yourself for others to accept you too. Once you accept you for you, you can decide on weightloss or not. Do what makes YOU happy! Don't let society tell you what is acceptable and unacceptable.

Sorry this update was a bit scattered. I'm sick and the idea just sort of popped into my head😁

So let me know: Are you struggling with weight? How do you want to end your last chapter of 2014?
