We’ll get back to paint colors, kitchen plans and art work tomorrow.  In fact, I had every intention to write a gift guide for a 22 month old today.  But then this morning, during Greta’s nap, I came across a blog so inspiring I have to (HAVE to) share it with you.

I haven’t ever really battled with weight, but I have had moments of insecurities.  Who hasn’t?  I have uttered the words “pre-baby” and “post-baby” too many times.  I cling on to pictures of myself from years and years ago when I was working out hard for 90 minutes a day, promising myself I’ll get there again even though I know that’s not true.  I found this blog through Pinterest (surprise) and she has lost 135 lbs, but even more importantly, she talks about the feelings she has about herself.  She talks about loving herself and how she stopped working out because it became an abusive relationship with herself.  She talks about loving life and even the things she misses about pushing 300 pounds.  The whole message is about peace.

She is gorgeous.  She is eloquent.  And I can’t stop reading.  For your reading pleasure:
