I lost 243 pounds, but hitting my goal weight wasn

I lost 243 pounds, but hitting my goal weight wasn’t how I found my happiness. Oh no. That would have been way too easy and we all know life doesn’t work that way. Happiness eluded me for many more years.

The secret to finding my joy was discovering how to be comfortable and at peace in my own skin and that wasn’t nearly as easy as it sounds. I had to basically learn to stop being everything I had always been, so that I could finally be who I was meant to be...the person I was born to become.

Sound complicated ? It was. We develop many unhealthy coping and survival skills when we feel we are less-than or not enough. Digging into those emotions and sorting through the original pain that caused them is difficult. But working through that darkness and pain is the roadmap that leads you to your place of self-acceptance and joy.

We all deserve to heal. We deserve to silence the demons that have haunted us for so long. It is possible to find your peace, joy, and self-love, but you have to do the work.

Don’t fall for the empty promises that losing weight will fix your life. It won’t. It will let you become the same person you are today-with all of the same issues and problems, only smaller.

Figure out what’s going on with the soul that exists inside your physical body. That, quite simply, is the answer to everything.

We are all in different places, at different times

We are all in different places, at different times, for different reasons.
Because of that fact, there will be people who don’t understand you.

People each have their own filter and that filter is built from everything they have experienced throughout their lifetime. Everything they interpret in their lives must pass through that filter before they form opinions, thoughts and feelings about it.

Because of those filters we aren’t all capable of seeing things in the same way. When someone’s opinion is vastly different from ours, it doesn’t mean anyone is wrong, we just have very different experiences and thus, very different values and opinions.

Bottom line: you can’t change someone else’s filter: you shouldn’t want to or even try. If people don’t get you, they’re not your people.

Your vibe determines your tribe.

Stop trying to explain yourself to people who don’t speak your language.

I never gave up and neither can you. Some people will do many things to make you doubt yourself and that’s why it’s imperative that you believe with your entire heart and soul.

There will be rough days. There will be days you want to quit. Cry your tears, scream at the sky, but get back up and begin again.

Your time is coming.

Life can get so crazy hard and overwhelming. Thing

Life can get so crazy hard and overwhelming. Things just don’t make sense anymore and it’s easy to feel stuck and isolated all at the same time.

In the midst of the madness I try to remind myself that I don’t have to have it all figured out. I don’t have to always have all the answers or say the right things. Some days it’s courageous to get up and keep trying, to keep moving forward and doing my very best.

Being brave isn’t always defined by being the strongest or the first one rushing into a dangerous situation. Sometimes being brave is simply getting up and saying, I will try again.

Keep being brave.
I see you, I know how hard it is, and I applaud you.

Be unapologetically YOU. No one else has to approve of you—if you live for someone else’s approval, you are giving them way too much power in your life. Stand your ground, find your happy, live your very best life—help someone and spread some joy. THAT Is beautiful.

Don’t let life get in the way.

We find every reason to put off doing the things that will change our lives.

Procrastination is the enemy of success.

There is no better day than today to begin the process that will improve your life. Each day that you allow to pass by, is one less day you will have to enjoy the blessings that are on the way. I’ve found the harder you work, the better life gets.

Silence the negative voices in your mind that try to convince you that you won’t make it....that you aren’t enough..... that you have to settle for just having a “pretty face.” You have ALWAYS been so much more than just a pretty face.

Beauty has nothing to do with size, age, or weight. Whatever your picture of success looks like... take a step towards reaching it today.

It doesn’t have to be a big step...but make that move. You can make your dreams come true.

One of the many ways the enemy wins is when he can

One of the many ways the enemy wins is when he can destroy relationships and divide us. Love gets thrown to the bottom of our souls when anger and pain fuel us.

Love should be the theme of our lives. Every word we speak and every action we take should be motivated by love.

In 1 Corinthians 16:14, the scripture says, “Do everything with love.” How amazing would the world be if everyone lived by that principle?

Each time you mistreat someone, the enemy is grinning from ear-to-ear. You may have won the argument with someone you’re angry at, but the devil is claiming the victory.

Don’t make his day. There are enough hurt people out there hurting other people.

Choose love today.

The amazing thing about a comeback is that it mean

The amazing thing about a comeback is that it means something different to each of us. Athletes come back from an injury, musicians come back from a weak album, but for most of us, the many obstacles we’ve had to overcome have provided the stimulus for our much-needed resurgence.

Life is hard.

Sometimes it’s overwhelmingly difficult—People you love betray you and as devastating as they are, blindsides happen. It’s then that you feel completely beaten because it’s the punches you don’t see coming that hurt the most.

Illness and death can happen and we lose the people we love so deeply...sometimes without warning. Life changes instantaneously with the last beat of someone’s heart and our lives are never the same again. We walk through our days numb, in a grief-induced trance, and it’s as if our pain is invisible to the rest of the world—because, in spite of our unspeakable pain—it keeps on turning.

We make mistakes and we stop taking care of ourselves. We create our own obstacles...even if they only exist in our minds. Self-destruction is a powerful opponent. Bottom line: whether they are internally or externally based, attacks leave their scars.

All of these scenarios provide the perfect foundation for the comeback of all comebacks. You’ve suffered, beaten yourself up, and played small long enough. You aren’t what they say about you, what was done to you, or the number on a scale.

It’s time to look in the mirror and even if you say it through tears, proclaim, “I WILL RISE.” Seize the power that is hidden in your ability to stare the enemy in the eye and firmly state, “You thought you destroyed me, but by the grace of God, I’m still standing.”

My friend @lauraleepreston has motivated me and I am joining her 2021 Comeback Tour. Lookout world—We have metaphorical dragons, we have each other, but most importantly: we have faith.... and that makes us unstoppable.

Grab your crown. Let’s get it.

It’s called self-love and it’s a game-changer.

It’s called self-love and it’s a game-changer. What’s it look like?

💞 I’m worthy—in spite of my past mistakes, scars, and imperfections.

💞 I deserve to be happy...simply because my heart is beating.

💞 My value is not determined by my weight, size, or age.

💞 It’s not your job to like me... it’s mine.

💞 I am doing my best and it’s enough.

💞 I’m making progress on being a work in progress.

💞 I am one-of-a-kind.

💞 I was created for a purpose.

💞 I am beautiful on the inside and outside.

💞 I am filled with gratitude.

💞 I’m so proud of who I’ve become.

💞 Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

💞 I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

💞 I am who God says I am, not who the world says I am.

💞 I am enough. I always was.
