A lot has happened since I last wrote a post, some good some bad. The good: I got married! The bad: I gained about 25lbs. There’s more good and bad but these right here are the ones that bring me JOY and PAIN at the moment.
I’m happily married and miserably overweight. The overweight part affected the way I dressed and ultimately impacted my mood and the way I felt about myself. Sure there are worse problems and believe me I’ve experienced a few of those too but the wight gain for some reason impacted me the most because it changed me in so many obvious (physically) and not so obvious (mentally) ways.
SO...what got me back on track? Believe it or not it was Instagram. I follow a bunch of ladies who offer monthly style challenges using daily style prompts. And while I still have my weight issue to deal with, it was all the motivation I needed to get dressed for work each day and feel better about myself. The saying is true, when you look good you do in fact feel good.
It’s been so much fun to shop my closet again and a great excuse to go thrifting when nothing I wanted to wear fit. Oh and the best part of all is connecting with a few like-minded people.
Everyone goes through these spells, the key is to find something or someone to pull you out from that sad place.
Until I figure out how to upgrade this blog,
