When you realize he isn't them...
It's almost like one day it just hits you out of the blue! You realize that there is no longer a need to worry about the man in your life because he isn't any of the men from your past. But do you know how long it takes to get to that point? Today was the day it finally hit me - like God himself smacked me in the head with a frying pan (He's got a sense of humor, ya know?!)

When There Is No Question He Is THE ONE...
I literally came home to this gorgeous beautiful bouquet of colorful flowers the Friday before Mother’s Day!! Wow! Totally unexpected and for the first time in my life, a man that I am intimately involved with successfully surprised me! Did I mention that earlier in the week, I slept through our lunch date and he had ordered us a heart-shaped pizza?! And he wasn’t even upset I missed our date! He understands I have a demanding job, even more so now that we are two months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and my exhaustion finally got the best of me...I slept through the alarm that was going to lead to such a romantic night. Well clearly I suck and well clearly, he’s a keeper!

“I Deleted My Tinder Profile...”
And yes, I even told him that! Those who know me aren’t surprised! Those who don't know me probably think I'm a stage-five clinger. Now, I'll give you skeptics some credit, if this was six months ago, I'd totally be "that girl"...but with him, I'm not.

What 2019 taught me...
I know exactly what you’re thinking...another basic white girl blogging about how she’s going into the new year making all these changes and will “find herself” and get fit, bleh bleh bleh... I totally get it! I would think the exact same things, if I wasn’t the one writing.

My rapid weight loss fueled by anxiety and self-hate
I hadn’t worn shorts in years...many many years, like 20 years!! I’ve always hated my body, even in high school. Yeah yeah yeah, I’ve had a singleton and a triplet pregnancy, but that wasn’t any excuse. In the before photo, I weighed 228 lbs and wore a size 18. As of this morning, I’m 159 lbs and a size 8 - that’s a 69 lb weightless! (I’ve lost more since this photo, 1 more pant size). Want to know how I did it?! I’m about to tell ya...

Why 15 years later at 36, I partied like I was 21...
Wow! That night was insane!! The night of my thirty-sixth birthday party! July 2019! Can you imagine me 13 shots in and having mixed drinks?! Those that know me well are laughing...those that were there that night are smiling and reminiscing! Those of you who may be acquaintances or know of me, might be taken aback - but if y’all only knew!!

Why Being “The Popular Girl” or “Pretty Girl” is a lonely place.
I used to want to be one of those girls who every guy would flock over when she entered a room. I wanted to be and feel beautiful. I wanted to be that girl with the amazing hair, great smile, beautiful eyes and fabulous style. Then. I. Became. Her.
