Clearing a few things up..

I think it’s time that I have a little talk with my lovely followers..
My last post really opened my eyes to how some of you see me.

1. I am not fat. 

I don’t care what I say, I do not think that I am fat at all. I’m a size 0, come on.. someone better be referring me to a mental hospital if you seriously thought a girl my size could even think she was fat at all.
HOWEVER..
I eat a LOT. I constantly will say that I’m a fatty or something along those lines because I really do eat a lot. I guess girls are more sensitive with the word “fat”. I feel that if I’m around Lucas I could be chowing down on food and be like, “ah I’m such a fatty!”.. and he wouldn’t be like OH MY GOSH YOU ARE NOT FAT.. Which leads me into..

2. I don’t need compliments to feel good about myself.
 I posted a picture and explained that when I put it in the post it made it smaller and made me look thicker than what I am. I did not say I look fat or that I look thick. I did not ask if any single one of you thought that I was fat.
I was told in a comment that it was clear that I was fishing for compliments…
I’m thinner than what the picture size made me look.. and I didn’t look bad in that picture.. but I did look a little thicker than what I am.
If I thought I looked fat I wouldn’t be wearing short shorts and I would not be posting a picture on the internet for everyone to see.
I don’t want compliments on a picture if I think I look gross.
Because obviously if I think I look bad, I wont believe it.
Thank you all for all the compliments you’ve ever given me.. but my self esteem has nothing to do with what other people think about me.
People are always very opinionated about what I wear or how I do my hair or my weight.. I have always been the kind of girl that if someone said “I like your hair better blonde” I’d die my hair super dark. Because people’s thoughts do not make or break me.

3. I want to workout to tone and eat healthy for my health. 
Once again, I’m not fat.
I do not feel that I need to diet, limit my food intake, or spend my life in the gym.
I lost so much muscle, and honestly toned girls are more attractive than skin and bone.
I want to eat healthy, for my health.
I had a huge health scare due to my caffeine addiction..
Blood tests showed that my liver enzymes were higher than an alcoholic’s..
Skinny people care about their health too.


I’ll share a quick story with you all.
Sometimes I retain water.. and when I retain water it’s almost unbearable. My rings will be stuck on my fingers so badly that they almost cut my fingers.. So I take water pills when I’m retaining water.. which is probably a few days every other month or something. All that water pills do is help get rid of water weight.. not fat. The last time I went to buy water pills the older lady at the register scanned them and said to me, “Hopefully those are not for you”.. I told her they were and asked why and she said, “It disgusts me that your generation would do anything to look like a skeleton”… She was literally so heated over the fact that I was buying water pills.
I think people judge people far too fast.
A lot of people misjudge me
because I’m actually very easy going and I’m very sarcastic

Most people actually look at me and assume I’m a bitch.
I’m not kidding you that people will often tell me that they can’t believe how nice I am..
All because they never gave my personality a chance..

But, I’ve learned to love the people that did take that chance.
I understand some people can’t help but be judgmental.
Or they can’t help but over analyze someone they don’t know yet.

If you read all of that, thank you.
I hope this cleared a few things up.

  1. Honey the fact that you even took the time to explain yourself in such great detail automatically makes you better than me. I would have given that person a big "kiss my fat ass then mkay" compliment that.. lol. fat or not. Lol. Do you screw them. We are just readers. We dont live your life. You need to explain yourself to no one. =)

  2. I love this, and I love how you feel about everything you said.
    It hits home when you say people automatically assume you're a bitch. I get that ALL the time, and people don't know anything about me. I'm actually the most caring, down to earth girl, I'd give ya the shirt off my back if you felt a chill. Hands down, I love your blog! Don't feel like you need to clear things up with people, you're a great girl!!

  3. I just stumbled onto your blog, but I thought I'd let you know you don't need to justify yourself to anyone! As long as you're happy with yourself the majority of the time (hey, nobody likes themselves always), that's what matters! :)
    There will always be someone ready to offer a critique, but if we all tried to be exactly how other people wanted us to be, no one would be a happy camper.

  4. Well said, don't worry about negative comments! Some people are just looking to put others down and spread their misery!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
