Welcome to Me

The main purpose of this blog, above all else, is to show the world that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. The most important thing is how we feel about ourselves. Personally, I would feel more comfortable in my own skin if I were thinner. This does not mean that I don't think I look good as I am now. I want to make it clear from the start that this is not another weight loss blog, it's a blog about getting to a place in your life where you feel healthy and beautiful. I've see women of all sizes throughout my days and thought "wow, she's gorgeous!"

I've found a weight loss plan that works for me. Last year, prior to moving to Los Angeles, I lost 30lbs. It wasn't a "diet", it was a lifestyle change that worked. I believe everyone's body is different. What works for me is eating healthy items and making sure that I eat something about every two hours. I think this keeps my metabolism up and keeps my body from going into "hunger mode" and storing fat. Just because this works for me, doesn't mean this plan will work for everyone else. I know people who have been successful at all kinds of "diets". Nothing irks more than someone else telling me what I should and should not eat, unless I'm specifically asking them for their opinion. Okay, I digress... 

I will be posting a photo every month until I feel I've reached my goal. (I can't say what that will be as of yet, I'll find out when I get there.) I'm hoping to show in these photos that beauty truly does come in all shapes and sizes. I'm not trying to come off as vain or conceited-with a good photographer, a great outfit, and a little makeup (or none for the super lucky:p) we can ALL be beautiful.

I will also make updates throughout the month as well about how I'm feeling, any changes to my life, and any random thoughts I feel like sharing.

Thanks for reading!
