(For those unaccustomed to riddles: Age. Weight. BMI.)
I’d like all but the first number to decrease over time. The first I care little about, so long as I feel & appear younger than it may imply.
This blog was resumed anew after I lost the original over the summer. So, it doesn’t catalog my entire journey. But, since starting with 3fc last December, I’ve lost more than 70 pounds!
I’m a wife, a ”mother” of two very fuzzy children (they take after their father in that respect), a perpetual student, & — I’m only now starting to admit: an artist.
I’ve overcome alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia, & whatever the word is for consistently eating well past the point I felt as if I should stop & vomit.
Now I’m working on revealing myself to the world. I want to express who I am, how I feel, what I think, & what I believe to be important & true.
I still have to work to be OK with letting others see my beauty.
Sometimes attention scares me. But it, like everything else, is a process. I’m learning to accept — & maybe even invite — attention & I’m noticing that most of it, now, is quite positive.
I believe I’m in a much better place than I ever have been before.
My childhood was tough. But I proved to be tougher. My young adulthood was tough. It almost destroyed me, but failed. I want my life now to be good. I work daily to make that goal happen. I find smaller goals work best for me, so I’m co-opting AA’s motto of “One Day At A Time”.
And, one day, I plan to be: Ageless. Healthy. In Couture.
Very cool, Lanvin!
