WHO I AM: Quiet and reserved, until I let you in, then unpredictable. Super smart, maybe a genius in an abstract way. I love history and how it affects our lives today. I have severe anxiety disorder/depression which was greatly impacted after the tornado when I started showing symptoms of PTSD. I love good dry humor and to laugh. I love to travel. Oh, and I am in love with crossfit.
My Mantra
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
This quote speaks VOLUMES to me about change. I have done a lot of change over the years, but I am not sure I have ever focused so much on owning my story, my faults, my weeknesses AND my strengths as now. You see, I am still evolving. YES, I have lost over 100 lbs, and YES I worked really hard to do so, but YES I still have a ways to go until I have met my physical goals and more importantly my INNER goals. In order for me to move forward in this journey of complete health I have to be willing to find the answers to WHY I became so morbidly obese in the first place. What was I ashamed of, what drove my addiction....maybe, just maybe what was I protecting. These are things that I could easily blame on circumstance or on people, but really I have to go to the dark places deep within myself, to let the light in so to speak. This is very new to me. I plan to blog about it, and I expect there to be a lot of raw emotions, however if you know me, you know for sure that I will throw in some light postings here and there;-) because that is just WHO I AM. So that is that. Think about this quote, are there things in your life you need to own?
