Happy Friday!

Posted on November 4, 2011 by Harmony

A friend just texted me this and I nearly choked on an animal cracker.

I know this. I say this. But still, I struggle to push myself to exit my own.

I am working hard to accept and embrace my body for what it is today -- NOT what it could be if I lost 10 pounds. NOT what it would be if I could afford a "mommy makeover," or lipo on my thighs, or lasers on my face. I got sober almost 18 months ago and gained a bunch of weight (because I could not stop eating sugar). Last summer was soooooo hard for me because I was newly sober and bigger than I wanted to be and I basically hated myself. I bought this bathing suit and never wore it. Not even once. This summer is different. I feel so much better about my body and myself in general. Although I am still heavier than I want to be, I am now working towards a healthy weight. How long it takes is how long it takes, requiring me to be patient and kind to myself, which is very unfamiliar to me. I am far, far, far from feeling great 24/7, but I do feel comfortable with who I am as a person, and I don't mind allowing the world to see me as I truly am. I love women who OWN it, and I want to do the same. WORK WHAT YOU'VE GOT, LADIES. We only get one life. #bodypositive #selfworth #sober #BMIcansuckit

This is what serenity looks like. It's not always pretty. Sometimes it's tired, dimly-lighted, raw, and gritty. Finding peace, if you are like me, requires a whole lot of work, but it's so, so worth it when you finally catch a glimpse of the sun. #soberAF #recoveryisworthit #recovery #selfworth #selfhelp #alcoholfree #addictionrecovery #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #ptsd #thatsalotofhashtags

OMG. Y'all. I FINALLY taught myself how to use a hair wand after having one for like, 4 years. I am such a late bloomer. This thing is magical. #hair #longhair #mermaidcurls #style #latebloomer
