“You have such a pretty face.” It’s never a

“You have such a pretty face.”
It’s never a compliment and only those who have heard that statement truly understand exactly why.

I promised myself that when I lost my weight, and I DID lose 243 pounds, that I would write a book and that would be the title so that I could let the entire world know precisely how it feels.

Buy the book that one reader said, “changed her life.” Another reached out and told me that she, “cried cover to cover.” I love all of the amazing messages that I receive from readers, but my favorites are the ones that say, “Your book gave me hope.”
YES! YES! YES! That’s precisely why I wrote it.

Check it out. You can get it everywhere, but if you order from my website, I’ll sign your copies. Link in bio.💕💕💕💕💕

You can be anyone you want to be. Make the choice

You can be anyone you want to be. Make the choice today to begin your journey. Sometimes beginning is simply considering the thought that you want to do things differently. Once you begin to think about changing, you’ve already released that powerful energy into the universe.

That’s how my journey began—I simply fell asleep every night visualizing the new person I wanted to become. The dream changed and adapted to many situations in my life, but eventually I lost 243 pounds and have kept it off for 18 years now.

Don’t ever think you’re too far gone, too big, too old, too anything...you can still become your very best you.

The crucial first step is to begin to believe its possible. Read my book. I had no way to pay for weight loss surgery and my insurance didn’t cover it. I was stubborn though, and I was determined to find a way. You can check out my memoir, You Have Such a Pretty Face, (YES! I hated being told that!) on my website www.kelleygunter.com, (link in bio) on Amazon, Kindle, KDP, audiobooks, and Barnesandnoble. If you order from my website, mention this post and I’ll sign your copy. ❤️

It’s time you started believing.

The harsh reality is that you just can’t count o

The harsh reality is that you just can’t count on other people to give you what you need to grow. There is beauty hidden in that reality, though, because when you learn to plant your own garden and water your own soul, your future harvest is in your hands.

I’ve learned that when we count on others to nurture, feed, shine, and water us, we begin to shrivel up and fall to pieces when they don’t do it anymore. The most amazing Miracle-Gro in the world is to discover your self-worth and learn to do all those things for yourself.

We’ve all seen the dandelions who find a way to grow up and out through the cracks in a driveway or at the edge of a sidewalk. They peek their bright little yellow flowers up, proclaiming to the world, “You tried to smother and kill me, but I grew anyway.” Don’t dismiss dandelions as weeds, they are the beautiful bouquet of childhood and millions of wishes and dreams have been blown through their wispy leftovers.

During those dark times when it seems there is no possible way to make it through, no possible way to survive—believe that, once again, you can blossom. Keep pushing and fighting, find your opening, squeeze through that thing and bloom anyway.

Are you an emotional eater? Do you use food as comfort ? I know I always did and sometimes still do! Are you suffering from regain?

Hint: You don’t have to be a binge eater to be an emotional eater.

If you struggle with any of the above issues or maybe something different, @drninainc and I have just the group for you. In the Binge Free Babes group we are watching women transform their lives, their relationship with food, and are witnessing major healing and changes taking place every single week. I am so proud of the support and community this amazing group of women give to each other and how deeply they are embracing the emotional work to finally rid themselves of the emotional eating patterns that have been so damaging to their lives.

Yes! Women are staying off of the scales and LOSING weight without dieting, because they are dealing with the emotional issues that cause them to reach for food when they’re upset. I had weight loss surgery in 2002 and lost 243 pounds but I’ve maintained that loss for 18 years because I dealt with the emotional issues that caused me to use food as comfort in the first place. If I didn’t do that, I would have gained back every single pound.

Can you relate? New members can join at anytime and have access to all of the great benefits of being in this group. You receive a digital copy of my book, You Have Such a Pretty Face, a copy of Dr. Nina’s best seller, The Binge Cure, weekly zoom meetings with Dr. Nina and I, and access to the private support group on Facebook where members are creating connections that will last a lifetime.

We can help you too. Join us today. Www.bingefreebabes.com link in bio.

This gives a whole new level of power and meaning

This gives a whole new level of power and meaning to the sentiment, “it’s over.”

When you choose yourself, you let go of all of the deception, disrespect, and dishonesty inherent in an unhealthy relationship. You no longer have to wonder if you are loved, because you will see two eyes that have chosen you staring back at you every single time you look in the mirror. Choosing yourself doesn’t mean you’ll be single forever, it means you won’t be with the wrong person just to avoid being alone. It means you don’t have to settle for being someone’s second or third choice. You don’t have to tolerate abusive people or their behaviors or continue to make excuses for them.

You no longer have to blame everyone else for poor choices made by someone who really doesn’t care how those choices affect or hurt you. Choosing yourself means you’ve finally discovered your own value and you don’t look for your worth in places it will never exist. Choosing yourself puts an end to living in a delusional world where the wrong partner eventually magically becomes the right one. Don’t believe those erroneous thoughts telling you that no one will ever love you as much again...someone will—and it will be YOU. 💗.

She loves me. Always.
She doesn’t care if I’m at my best or my worst, she just loves me.

I can’t make sense of this world or why things happen the way they do, but what I know for sure is this beautiful girl loves me.

She has helped me through every nightmare and every heartbreak, every betrayal and every mistake. She has loved me when I hated myself.

She has never wanted a thing from me except my love and attention. I know she is a gift from God. I know He knew how very much I would need her and how much I would adore her.

My beautiful Lilly-Putt—You are my angel and I am so thankful for you. You are so perfect: mischievous, spirited, stubborn, powerful, protective, and such a sweetheart. You are my soulmate and I am so thankful for you. You’re a good little girl. (If 135 pounds is little).

I hope you outlive me, because I would never want to live without you. ❤️

I was honored to share my story with @whyididntrep

I was honored to share my story with @whyididntreport. Their page is full of strong survivors who are speaking their truth.

We all have a reason for why we stay silent. Many people don’t understand why victims don’t tell, but you can’t comprehend someone else’s darkness, pain, or the situations they were existing in at the time.

What I can tell you is that the longer trauma sits in your soul unhealed, the more power it has over you and the more it will control every single thing you do. I was terrorized as a child, teenager, and lived with that fear as an adult for many years. I destroyed my life trying to escape that trauma and numb that pain.

After the complete meltdown of my world and a very slow putting back together of all my pieces, God showed me that we win by not just surviving, but by thriving. My monsters did not destroy me—they didn’t have that power.

You don’t have to speak out to everyone, but please tell someone. Go to RAINN.org and text anonymously with one of their counselors for FREE. Just release it from your soul. You’ve suffered far too long.

You deserve to thrive. We all do. You are not alone. I stand with you...as do the other 84 million adult survivors of child sex abuse in this country.

No one knew my truth. I presented a version of my

No one knew my truth.

I presented a version of myself to the world that I thought was acceptable. I hid my pain, scars, and brokenness behind a mask of false security and being the free-spirited life of the party.

Even I didn’t realize that I was dying inside.

I was speaking one language to the world and the entire time my soul was screaming another. I’m not entirely certain whether it’s a blessing or a curse, but I was saddled with a nagging little soul that refused to be ignored forever.

When my self-destruction finally brought me to my knees, everyone who knew me was astonished. They couldn’t comprehend what had happened and they felt as if they’d never known me. There was a very simple reason why they couldn’t see my pain.

Not all wounds are visible.

The sexual abuse I suffered throughout my childhood enveloped me in a shame that was incomprehensible. I buried that truth deep in the cellar of my soul and refused to acknowledge it. But trauma doesn’t sit quietly and accept being ignored. Trauma begins as a snowball and if left to fester, it will eventually become an avalanche that destroys everything in its path. My life and existence was no exception.

Healing allowed me to find an eventual peace and rebirth. Healing is a powerful thing—it warms the heart and cools the sting. But not everyone has embraced their healing yet and the bottom line is that you don’t know what pain litters the hallways of someone’s heart.

Because of this, I implore you to be kind. That person you don’t understand, may have survived atrocities you can’t comprehend.
