LOVE THIS!!

“Every day is an opportunity to be creative – the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, ‘my life’. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today – it matters.” — Innerspace

YES!

My inner world creates my outer world and my thoughts create my life. I choose thoughts about all the good stuff.

your head looks so much smaller

yesterday a lady at work told me 'you've lost ALOT of weight, your head looks so much smaller. my first thought after she said that was 'HOW BIG WAS MY HEAD?' lol
When I got home I stared at myself in the mirror for a bit, turning my head from side to side trying to picture what my head looked like 6 months ago. MY HEAD!!! I wasn't even looking at my body which is also alot smaller then it used to be but I was fixated on my head and her comment keep going through my mind. After about 15 minutes of that I started to laugh. A huge gut busting laugh, I found it silly that I was over thinking it. My head was big before now it's small... FACT! now move on I told myself.

I have lost alot of weight. I wasn't taking the best care of my body.
I haven't eaten red meat in 8 1/2 years, chicken or fish in 2 years. I haven't drank a soda in 15 years... but I was still eating crap food like potato chips and french fries. about 6 months ago I looked at myself in the mirror and said aloud 'what the hell am I doing to my body' that's when I made a decision to take better care of myself. today I am 75 pounds lighter and much happier.

I've been going back and forth from vegetarian, vegan, and raw. the past month I've been going alot more raw though. been looking up recipes and websites. It is a bit hard sometimes because I'm the only one here at home who eats like that.
I don't know anyone (work, friends, family) here who are vegerarian vegan or raw foodists. I talk to some people online whom I swap stories on what foods to try or what smoothies to try. I would like to have someone here though to share my food with, instead of people passing by stopping and looking at my plate and saying 'ewwwwwwwwwwwww what's that?' -'IT'S GOOD TRY IT!!' I tell them but they just cringe their nose and walk away.

I'm loving my new diet... it's pretty awesome

affirmation

I fully accept and embrace change, for it helps me grow. Every door that closes pushes me to walk ahead into my more perfect future.

Melly is o.k

I cried it out. I will be o.k.
I'm just in a little funk. I can get myself out of this.
DEEP BREATHS!
I'll be back to the old happy positive me in no time.

funk-E day

my mind was off all day today. I've been thinking WAY too much, giving myself a headache. I felt the tears wanting to come out but I held it in, which I shouldn't I know. I have no idea what is wrong with me. am I going crazy? I need to get away from here. far away. been thinking about it alot... just picking up and leaving.
but where... how? I'm not exactly rich... I can't just pick up and go when ever I want no matter how bad I want to. or can I? can I go? poor ass crazy silly weirdo girl wants to go... please!

she stared out the window looking for something
where is it she wondered?
no... that's not it.
she squinted her eyes a bit
still nothing.
ahhh there it it! I think...
'I want to touch it' she thought 'I wonder if it's real'
'it's real,' she heard a voice say 'it's real and it's yours'
