Scared...

Yesterday my girlfriend stopped by the house. As we were chatting she commented about an email that I had sent out, letting people know about this amazing new path that I have decided to take with my life. She told me that it was very brave.

Brave...I was scared! Terrified in fact. As I was writing that communication, and including the picture I posted yesterday, it meant that I had to be really honest with a lot of people. My husband never knew how much I weighed, either at my heaviest or now! And to put it out there for the whole world to see meant that I had to stop hiding behind this fear.

The whole night I thought about this conversation.
FEAR had held me back.
FEAR had kept me fat.
FEAR had kept me unhealthy.
FEAR made me unhappy.

I don't want to live in FEAR anymore. I want to enjoy my life and live it to it's fullest. But above all I want to help other people get out from under that fear and live a healthy life.
