Day 3 Ultimate Blogging Challenge
Inspired by Oprah's 11 Things A Woman Should Write Down Before The Year Ends and having read some awesome posts by some bloggers I thought I would do my own.
But I thought I'd do it a bit differently and dedicate a post to each question.
So here is Question 1:
What Younger You Would Like About Present You
What would make 14-year-old you delighted, if not disbelieving?
I think my 14-year-old-me would probably be delighted to know that I am happy with myself just the way I am.
I was an awkward, chubby, shy, quiet, timid 14 year old. I was teased about my weight and called all kinds of fairly cruel names. Over the years I lost a lot of weight, gained it back, lost it again, gained it back and it went backwards and forwards.
But in 2013 I had my aha moment - The Gods love me chubby and take every opportunity they find to sabotage my efforts to get slim. I exercise, I eat healthy but the Gods want me chubby. So here I am chubby and at ease with that.
I can see my 14-year-old-me grin from ear to ear and I can hear the Gods sing:
"Don't go changing to try and please us, you've never let us down before ... We love you just the way you are" ~ adapted from Billy Joel's Just the way you are.
Have a happy day.
