I'm finally back from a brief blogging hiatus. Honestly, I didn't have much to share and thought it was best to lay low until I did. :)
Lately I've been going through a bit of a transformation. For the past year and a half I've been injured and have had a very poor quality of life. I've suffered from depression, gained about 30lbs and bound myself to my house to keep my pain levels under control.
The last few months I've been seeing a therapist to help with my depression and she has been helping me so much. I've been advised by my doctor to start Jenny Craig and after having a consultation, I'm really looking forward to getting started. I've also been trying to get outside more and try not to feel bad when my family and friends are out and about living life. I'm really working towards being at peace with where I am in my life right now. Instead of feeling like the world is passing me by, I'm no longer going to let this injury define me. I deserve more then that.
Because of my weight gain, many of my clothes no longer fit me. For a while I resorted to yoga pants and t-shirts as my daily wardrobe. I didn't recognize the person in the mirror anymore. I was disgusted at what I had turned into. Recently, I've begun to accept more of where I'm at in my life and use make-up and my collection of hair flowers to liven up my days. My wardrobe is still lacking but with time I know I'll be able to build it up a little more and feel better about how I look. Until then, I'm having so much fun trying new make-up products and adding more flowers to my collection. :)
As you can tell, I'm a huge work in progress and I'm okay with that. I'm feeling better about my outlook on life and know this pain won't be here forever. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to what I can do once I'm feeling better. I'm excited for the future but definitely going to live each day as it comes and not let myself feel burdened by all the "what if's" life may throw my way. Today is a new day and I'm going to enjoy all it has to offer.
Happy Sunday!
I'm so glad that the therapist is helping and you look so pretty in that picture! :) Happy Sunday!
