NEVER BE ASHAMED OF A SCAR......

Jul 29, 2013

..."never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stranger than whatever tried to hurt you"... unknown

Awesome words ... shared by the Purpose Fairy on my FB page a couple days ago .... what an AWESOME REMINDER ... my scars do not hurt me nor shame me ... because I am STRONGER than whatever tried to hurt me ...

INDEED I AM ... stronger than the past scars of morbid obesity ... I move on ... with a tool ... a determined mind ... a prayer and a press ... 6 years and almost 6 months ... I am healthy and free of morbid obesity and all its related illnesses ... with 5 co-morbidities in full remission ... I am living in maintenance seamlessly .... 

I am rocking my scars ... and living my life like its golden ... embracing JOY and just making it happen to me .... I tracked my weight loss journey and continue to track it ... in my digital empowerment journal ... a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away ... it is a fun tracking tool and it works wonders for me .... I see it... I feel it... and I am rocking it ... for LIFE ...

My week in pictures ....

Loving my tiny labels....

It feels so good to get down and the floor and back up with mobile joints and strong and toned legs whereas my mobility was so impaired by morbid obesity.... 

On the floor on my balcony with my doggies and my ferrets...

off for a pedi on Saturday...

Playing with my puppies on Sunday...

Off to work on Monday...

back to work on Tuesday...

and before work I threw a blazer over my jumpsuit and had early morning breakfast this morning with my OH Sista MSW will Not Settle ... and awesome friend who I met at an OH Conference in Rye, NY ... together we went to the OH Conferences in Long Island and Atlanta and hopefully we will meet up in Cali ...

and of course I took a picture with my broken dolly ... got a brand new one from my awesome DS and am in the process of setting her up and getting her a stand and putting her next to my awesome doll until I pour and bake her a new face with the mold that I purchased for her...

What an AWESOME JOURNEY.... with life's ups and downs and many challenges I can definitely AGREE 100% with this statement "never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stranger than whatever tried to hurt you"... unknown

Thank you OH for allowing me to share SNIPPETS of MY JOURNEY ....
