After losing over 40 pounds, getting pregnant, and gaining some back; my wardrobe has yet again been a struggle. None of my pants or shorts fit.

Day Fifteen. Take a break from social media today and focus on the life around you. This is something I have been trying to do more of lately.

Sometimes it's painting my toenails, taking a bubble bath, or buying myself something that makes me feel good about myself. Today, however, my self care task is decluttering.... Continue Reading →
Day eight. How do you make things harder for yourself and how can you reign that in? I don't purposely make things harder for myself, but I can see how some of my characteristics could do that.
