    Thank you. My goal …
    Thank you. My goal is actually not to lose weight. I was and am at my ideal weight. My goal is really to improve my health and quality of life. I have found that by eating more fruits and greens (green smoothies are great for this), I feel better. I also feel better when I do yoga, and take walks, but I have not done yoga in a long time. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I hope you and your family are happy and healthy.

    Lately, what I have …
    Lately, what I have been doing is primarily focusing on my work, which I love. When people bully me, I go through all the emotions, but as I encounter more of these people, I have started going through the emotions more quickly and with far less effect on my well-being. I am almost to the point where I skip ahead to simply learning from the criticism or ignoring it and feeling sorry for the perpetrator. Those people try to weaken us, but I am learning to use their attacks to strengthen myself.

    Thank you for your …
    Thank you for your kind words. Is there anything that your doing/reading/etc. to help you with your journey? Also, what do you do to maintain your sanity about mean spirited people? I internalize it and feel as though I coming off as a weak; and that I am not doing enough to stop abuse/bullying.

    It takes time but I am finally getting to the point where I feel safe enough to let my body be healthy (and attractive). Be kind and loving to yourself. ((hugs))

    I can definitely …
    I can definitely relate. Losing weight scares me because being overweight and muscular helps me feel as though I can protect myself and my daughter. However, I am not healthy and do feel unattractive. I am satisfied/happy because it give me a sense that I have a fighting chance. I am on a journey to shake the feeling off. (karate lessons is not in the budget)

    I’m sorry you have had to deal with similar issues. I am finally getting past mine and it feels so liberating. I still dress like a lump, but I am beginning to feel at home in my skin now. I hope you love your body too. ((hugs))

    Melanie,
    I’m so …

    Melanie,
    I’m so sorry you had to go through that. ((hugs)) I think of this line in a song Cindi Lauper song called “Little Boy Blue”. She said “He may have stolen your innocence, but not your soul”. And it’s true. I felt destroyed for a long time, and it still hurts, but they didn’t take away who I am, it just made me stronger…You too. ((hugs)) Happy new year.

    YES! I can totally …
    YES! I can totally relate to that. When I was thinner, it was more stress for me because of the attention. For me it was kinda connected with my difficulty with saying no sometimes. I knew that you were going to say “the pretty one” that EXACT thing happened to me as well. I was always called beautiful. I was abused also. Man, the things people do to each other that destroys us. I’m 47 and I still struggle. I’m subscribing to your channel. Thanks for your transparency.

    littlewing,
    I am sorry you are going through this as well. I am doing so much better now that I no longer eat any trigger foods (in my case cooked vegan foods). I am 100% raw now. I still sabotage myself in other areas of life, but I am working through that too, and it gets better every day. It’s hard to find a balance, but it’s defiantly doable. It just requires constant attention and adjustments. I wish you health, vitality, happiness and peace.
    Warmly,
    Alexis

    I found myself …
    I found myself finishing some of your sentences about self-sabotage and having trivial problems in comparison to others.
    It’s great you could figure this out about yourself and I wish I could give advice on this but I have the same seemingly never-ending problem.
    By the way that’s awesome that you are a fashion designer (explains the mannequin in the background) I want to get into fashion too hopefully once my eating problem/life is better..which is ironic considering the fashion industry..
