Good afternoon warriors! Since my last entry I have had the roughest of waves crashing over me pertaining to my surroundings. I was caught up in emotional anguish over some people I held close to me and now seeing their true nature recently. It consumed me so much that my entire days were spent in thoughts revolving around the realistic validity of these bonds. I am now accepting these are changes that needed to take place, the passing of the old surroundings which were only aiding in my old negative habits. I can no longer spend as much time in the bars, drinking and having alcohol induced conversations with people who say they love their children, want a better life and yet they are always in the bar. It's been 8 weeks since I had a drink and since I burned one up. I was never an avid drinker but when I did drink, most of the time I was over doing it. Chugging....chugging away and waking up regretting it all. Wondering OMG what did I do? Did I do anything embarrassing??!! When I hit that wall I told myself I just could not do this anymore. I realized that I was filling my voids with food, beer and the every now and again joint. I know I can not change others with all that I am becoming aware of through sobriety, no matter how much I love them. But at the same time I can no longer be interactive in those negative environments. I do wish them the best and will always be here for them if they need help rising above the addictions. I'm not saying that I am perfect because I am not, I'm just evolving and learning so very much now. I am embracing it all, ready for the next challenge.

I couldn't wait till Labor Day so I weighed in a little earlier and am still in chills and tears that I have broke out the 300's! My drive is on an all time high, something stirring within reminding me of my true nature. I know for every level there is another challenge, now I dont see them as closed doors or impossible to overcome. Instead I see the benefits and hidden knowledge I will gain by taking it on. When it becomes overwhelming I no longer cry because I want to give up, I cry because I choose to let go of old patterns and move foward. My mom has inspired me with her battle fighting cancer, she still smiles through it all and lives very actively everyday. She has more energy than me lol! She lives with me and she grateful for all that I do for her but in all honesty she is the one taking care of me. She pulls me through & believes in me. My soul is overflowing with love & gratitude :-)

Today I celebrated my birthday with my girls, mother & my sister, and it was truly incredible. My sister took me shopping for some new clothes being my clothes are looking pretty baggy on me now & I am proud to report that I have gone down another size! I have gone from 5x to 3x in plus sizes (34/36 to 26/28). I never liked shopping for clothes much at all I always had to settle for the styles in my sizes, but today honestly I didn't mind at all. I've always hated looking at myself fully in the mirror so I would briefly look over myself hesitantly when necessary. Even when shopping at the stores whenever I passed by any mirrors I would quickly walk by trying not to get a glimpse of myself. Just recently I have been able to really look at myself in the mirror and appreciate the progress I'm making. I'm realizing more than ever it's the journey along to reaching my goal that is transformational, the good and the bad.
