And I did, and unreservedly, I say I rocked it.
I have all always prided myself on being loud, confident, caring and articulate. No pre-conception of who I was supposed to be was going to hold me back.
Nope - young man judging my fat ass, you don't get my time of day because I know I am beautiful and worthy of EVERYONE'S respect. Lovely older lady judging the length of my skirt, thinking to herself, that outfit is meant for someone slimmer. Once again, nope, not listening; cause I love me just the way I am.
And then I saw that video and every ounce of love I had for myself vanished....(sad, but true).
Anyhow...point of today's blog post is to fill you in on the immediate next step.
I have a unique and quirky sense of style. I have curated a closet of items I love, that are form fitting, loud and very me. I have decided to document this journey through IPhone photos, the pictorial will be - me, in all my glory - wearing my favourite pieces. In posting and sharing these photos with you, I hope that I will start to see myself through a clearer lens, that I'll be able to make peace with me.
...pic will be posted later today, maybe tomorrow morning....

Hey Babe,
It can be a tad startling when you notice your weight has snuck up on you. I was in a similar position in 2009. Had met the love of my life, was living what I considered to be a good life. I saw a picture of myself at the cottage and went; "woah". I had always struggled with asthma as well and I decided that it wasn't going to get easier as I got older. So I went to the doctor and switch my asthma drugs, and cheezy as it sounds; went to Chapters and bought a Men's Health magazine and committed myself to doing the workout.
It took me about 3 months but I got reached my goal, and I feel better than I ever have before.
You can do it.
I have seen your power-lifting photos. You more than met your goal! You blew it away! Thanks for the kind words darling...
