Through my entire journey that saying has stuck with me.

I found it the day I was browsing Pinterest for inspiration.

I was 265 pounds, severely postpartum, shit just wasn't pretty.

I printed the saying out and stuck it to my mirror at home.

I looked at it often, sometimes multiple times a day.

Whenever I started to doubt myself I would read it.

It's gotten me through some really hard times.

I was determined to get it as a goal weight present to myself when I got to 140 pounds I would get this tattooed on my side.

This was back when I didn't know better and wanted ALL THE FOODS.

Now standing here today weighing 152 pounds I am confident that I am at an amazing goal.

Seriously over 100 pounds of weight off my body forever.

That is definitely something that deserves major celebration.

So Friday I went and did what I have been wanting to do for so long now.

Something that at one time I really thought would only be a dream of mine.

I FINALLY feel like my life is coming full circle.

Along with all the newness I accepted a new position with another company on Friday.

I gave my two weeks notice at my current employer this morning.

I know there will be tears shed and there is absolutely no hard feelings, just better opportunity.

When I started here I was 22 years old just seeking more money (sorry why lie?)...

I wasn't thinking about my future at all.

The new position is with a company I can truly see myself retiring from.

Great money, better benefits, and room to grown.

GROWTH.

Personal growth.

Even this time last year I probably would not have been able to get this position.

I was still unsure of myself.

When you are happy, confident, and truly able to love yourself that is when things happen for you.

I truly believe that in my heart.

So this is why I am telling you just to do it.

Get your life back.

It's so worth all the hard times...

It makes you see the true beauty in all the good times!
