Once I found myself, everything else followed.

Throughout middle school, high school, and my first two years of college I struggled with self confidence. I was always the "big girl" or the "heavyset girl" but that's all people could say about me. I knew that my shape and body was not the sexiest thing walking but my dress code and attitude made up for it. As I began to mature, I became more happier with ME. Oddly, when I began to focus on me and my happiness the weight began to drop. I'm not small by any means however, i'm happy! Once I began to find myself, I realized that my beauty runs deep and I don't need anyone's validation for me to see that. Over the years iv'e learned that confidence is key. Once I found myself, everything else followed.  My career is going great, I have a great MAN, I graduate from college in a few months, I have my family and great health so I can't complain. I'm happy!
