how are you all? i hope you are well and smiling heaps today :)
today i went to the beach with paul and ziggy and we had a beautiful time. ziggy especially enjoyed splashing around in the water and making friends with all the other doggies.
tonight paul and i had a dinner at friend's house and it was so lovely. yum yum. however, afterwards we were suppose to go out to a few pubs and let loose a bit. i was so looking forward to doing it until that horrible voice in my head told me not to because i always end up feeling like the fattest girl in the room. and it is not a nice feeling at all. i just wish i could be the confident,sexy, funky girl that i want to be. i wish i could wear what i want and not feel held back by my weight. and i know that the people i hang out with, especially my boyfriend could not care less if i was the size of a house! but i feel so embarrassed sometimes. it really is an awful way to feel.
i found these lyrics to a song which is so inspiring to women. it is called 'beautiful flower' by india arie
This is a song for every girl who's ever been through something she thought she couldn't make it through, yeah
I sing these words because I was that that girl too
Wanting something better than this but who do I turn to?
Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
I sing these words because I was that that girl too

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
And there is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you
Who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient
This is a song for every girl who feels that she is not special
Cause she don't look like a supermodel, Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you to shake your money maker
Shake your head and tell them, tell 'em you're a leader
Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives, Yeah
Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
And there is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you
Who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient
When you believe in you
Who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient

Who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient

Thanks for such an inspirational message, it really made my day! :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the summer and taking Ben camping and to the beach.
I often feel like that when I go out. I stopped going to clubs because of it. Hopefully, once we start feeling better about our bodies, we can go out and have fun again without feeling like crap :)
You know what when we start feeling better about ourselves I am coming to america and we are going to Vegas!!!!
