The TimeHop App sure does bring back some good AND bad memories. Can you agree with me on that for those of you that have the app????
So, what you all might NOT know is that I've struggled with my weight and body image my entire life. I have curves and have always had to work at being thin (healthy wasn't even a care before becoming a mom). Yea, I've been a size 2 (right before I got pregnant) but it wasn't a healthy size 2.
I came across this picture of me from 4 years ago. It brought back A LOT of emotions. I was in a really dark place at this time. I was in an EXTREMELY toxic relationship. I didn't like my job anymore. I was empty inside. I hadn't been going to church regularly or doing any sort of devotions. I may have been smiling in this picture on the outside but I was not truly happy.
I've had a lot of changes happen in the last 4 years. I woke up and got OUT of that toxic relationship. I pursued a different career path....one of which led me to my real life Prince Charming. I moved to different states...twice. I got married (to that Prince Charming!) and got the BIGGEST PROMOTION of my life by becoming a mama to the coolest little man!
I will be 31 in two days and I am healthier than I have ever been....mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I will be forever grateful for my UPS & DOWNS in life. I think they keep me humble and help me appreciate just how far I've come.
Do pictures from your past bring back a lot of emotions...good or bad? Are you happy with where your life is now? If not, what's holding you back?
