In your own skin

As a woman who often does not feel comfortable in her own skin and has battled with her weight for years now... I truly appreciated this article and enjoyed reading it. Thought I would share. :)

Put on your big girl shoes

School has began.. again. Fall semester. It feels like I have been going to school my whole life.. oh wait! I have! ;) This is the first week of class and already I am overwhelmed with projects, homework, presentations, interviews, and lots more! Today, on what is supposed to be my lunch break from work... I left class feeling a little blah. Some days I just feel like throwing my hot pink school binder in the trash can and running these Mary Jane's as far away from this campus as I possibly can and then I remember why I am here and how far I have come to get here. I have always worked and gone to school. Never have I had the luxury of going to school throughout the week whenever I pleased. I always have to squeeze school in and pray for dear life that I make good grades. Last semester I was sick and big pregnant and every mon, wed, and friday I walked up what seemed like the biggest hill I have ever seen to get to the Chemistry building, I sat in the teacher's chair after I no longer could breathe in my desk anymore (Judson was getting really big in there), and I had him on Spring Break and went back to school the next week and somehow I managed to pass two other courses and make the Dean's List. I have worked too hard to give up now. I can do this!! YES I CAN! I just need to put on my big girl shoes and press on!!!
