Hallmark movies, The House that Built Me, and how I’m dealing (not well) with this church move….

December 17, 2019December 17, 2019

For once, this blog isn’t about weight loss or my efforts, or lack of effort more recently…they’ll be more on that at a later time, and this is admittedly a long post, so I apologize, but I needed to get this out of my system.   Most of you in the community know, but for those …

About

In a world full of polar opinions, the battle of the bulge is not exempt. While one side says you must be miserable and ashamed if you exceed a certain weight, the other says if you don’t profess the glories of the body positive movement you are a body-shaming bigot. However, I propose a position closer to the middle ground: you can be unhappy with being overweight/obese without absolutely loathing the person you are. You can enjoy the journey without fixating on the destination. This blog is about doing just that. My entire life I’ve struggled to lose weight, and as a result I’ve experienced shame, guilt, and fear. Ironically, these feelings are never more glaring than when I’m making progress towards my weight loss goals. Perhaps, it is the constant confrontation of the excess weight when you begin a journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Maybe it is the fear of yet another failure. Maybe it is simply the exhaustion that comes from hauling around all those extra pounds and the emotional baggage that comes along with them. Whatever it is, there is no rule that says you can’t experience pretty things while trying to conquer the heavier elements. Weight loss blogs are full of heavy moments, mine will not be exempt from that. Style blogs are full of pretty things, and I hope this blog will not lack those either. This is a plus size style blog in one sense, and a weight loss journey blog in another, but mostly it’s just full of stuff the good with the bad, the pretty stuff, the heavy stuff, and the stuff that most just don’t want to talk about, or as I like to call it the pretty heavy stuff.
