I have to check out that book, for sure. AND I'm super excited to hear that the self empowering gets easier. It is such an internal battle right now. I look forward to it coming more naturally. I guess just like anything thats worth doing in life... it takes some hard work and practice.

I went through something like this over the past year and am still constantly growing, learning, and falling more in love with myself. I love you so much and I'm so excited for you to come to love everything about you because you deserve it. Please don't think twice to pick up the phone and call me or text me or whatever you need when you're struggling AND when you're celebrating!! I recently read a book by Louise Hay called You Can Heal Your Life and it was both simplistic and perfect. Accepting yourself is empowering and as weird as it feels, it gets easier!! Anyway, I love you bunches! Enjoy your journey, babe!! :)unicornpaloozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692774324277988366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355970909676770565.post-41907716751940037632016-05-29T19:56:58.784-07:002016-05-29T19:56:58.784-07:00I am not sure what to say but I just want to thank...I am not sure what to say but I just want to thank you for how honest and real you are and for the gosh darn truth that this post has in it!! We are ALL to hard on ourselves and think we will be happier when... I have been put on a restrictive diet for some health issues and I HATE IT!!! But i am so grateful to know you (through this blog) and have the blessing of feeling your honesty and your writing skills are AMAZEBALLS!!!

You may have an addiction to sugar (like me!), but you are anything but saccharine, and I dig that about you. Lately I've been thinking along the same wavelength, and I am trying to do something about it, but it's so freaking hard, especially when food tastes so GOOD. I don't want to look like a supermodel -- in fact, I've decided to get healthier without ever looking at a scale. The change I'm after is less about how I LOOK and more about how I feel, and I just need to remember that. Sending my love and support to you!

I feel you SO HARD. I am completely and totally addicted to sugar. I fucking love it so damn much. (as I sit at the computer sucking down sweet tea). I have gone extended amounts of time without it but the moment I get the taste of that sweet, sweet sugar I am donzo. I can't stop eating it again. doesn't matter that I feel AMAZING when I have all that crap out of my system. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings (today and always). Not everyone would admit these things, even though many feel the same way. That takes guts, my friend!

I often have to remind myself that this is the life we've got and that we better enjoy every second of it ... but for me too it is always easier to find the flaws, to point out the negative, to not enjoy myself but to be doubtful.
