I'm gonna love myself...

If you know me, you know that I LOVE the LYRICS more than the music
Today I heard a song that spoke to my heart, your listening too it now.
Read the words & you too will understand


I guess you could say
I'm one of those girls...

...I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me Even if someone can't see
The stronger woman in me

I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again never, no
Cause theres a stronger woman
a stronger woman in me

I've lived on hope Just like a child
walking that mile faking that smile
all the while wishing my heart had wings well tonight I am gonna be
The kind of woman I want my daughter to be

I'm gonna love myself More than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
There's a stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again never, no
Cause there's a stronger woman, stronger woman
Theres a steronger woman in me

From Stronger Woman ~Jewel

I guess its time to stop worrying about who loves me, and learn to love myself.

when your “FAT” pants get skinny tight

• In life epiphanies are bound to occur, my latest grand realization is that I can’t or at least should not eat like a 15 year old male, especially when I can’t afford a whole new wardrobe.
  
  You may be thinking…. Do I think I am fat? No, however I have grown to be very uncomfortable in my own skin. Why? Simply stated my fat pants have become skintight!
  
  I know…. your thinking…. MANDY stop…. What in the world are you telling us this for?
  
  And so… I’ll tell you. I have set some new “Health Goals” including no sugar treats except on Sundays and exercising… Yes it is only a minimum of three times per week, which seems small, but this girl has to take baby steps.
  
  What does this mean for you? Not much unless you’re my roommate Karen, to whom I want to publicly apologize. I am sorry about pilfering your Ice Cream on many a late night. I would buy you more…but then I’d just keep eating it (so how about $5.00) I am just looking for a little bit of moral support~ some extra “keep me on my toes” comradely.
  
  Health goals
• No eating after 8:30 p.m.
• Veggie juice 1+ times daily
• Exercise 30+ min. 3+ times per week
• No treats (sugar) except Sundays
• Complete a 9 day Isagenix cleanse by May 28th
