Tonight I went to the store I work at, A Second Look to buy some work clothes that I so desperately needed. I went into my size and went to try some stuff on with my mom. The 1st pair I tried on were WAY too big.. I thought it was weird and that the sizes must run bigger in that brand. Then, the 2nd pair was too big. Like those weight loss commercials where the fake actors are wearing pants that are too large for them big. I was so confused! My mom was like "You need to go a size down!" I HAVEN'T HEARD THOSE WORDS IN FOREVER! I was so thrilled and so happy and I got some really cute clothes and it's incredible to feel that good about what you're wearing.
That was definitely motivating.
Earlier today I had my English 101 class. It was my day to read my rough draft out loud and get feedback from my classmates and teacher. Mine was about being bullied for the first time ever about 10 years ago. It was a really touchy subject to read out loud.. I was really nervous that it wouldn't get good reviews. After I finished reading my essay everyone was SO in love with it, I was so happy. Everyone was asking me questions and could understand me and wanted to be my friend. It was just incredible. They all had to give me back the notes they wrote for me and they all said how inspiring and beautiful I am and how they loved the story and I am still full of happiness and butterflies. It was the best feeling in the world to hear that from people I haven't known very long.
So in the end, my job is a work out and is helping me lose weight, I'm feeling good about myself, I'm keeping busy, I'm making money, I'm doing well in school, and I'm still managing to keep my blog up and inspire people that change is good! I still can't believe the before and after pictures and who I once was and who I've become. I'm very happy.
Oh! And I'm in love. Yep. I've fallen in love. I am so in love with my readers and supporters. I can't believe I've had you guys reading and watching my life change for over a year now. I'm gaining more and more followers on here and on facebook and I honestly don't think I could have gotten anywhere without my followers and supporters. I love you all with all my heart, more than any boy could ever replace.
