## Caption

**these moments from the book cause me to appreciate where I am and not forget where I’ve come from.** I was over 300lbs and had finally made it up in my mind to get better and to get well. I often picked myself apart but I’ve realized that I’ve come along way. I do it sometimes now, but nowhere near what I’ve done before. “Yea you may have picked up some weight but you’re still conscious of it and your mindset hasn’t changed when it comes to healthy choices with what you eat, who’s around, and what you speak.” I told myself this morning. Self sabotaging thoughts are often what keeps us from our place of wellness because we tend to not celebrate ourselves for the incremental progresses. Maybe your “big” is not my “big”. But maybe you can identify with some insecurities that you’ve had, or need to get pass, because the goal you’ve been trying to reached was defined by way of society/ “culture”. Redefine what beauty looks like to you by defining it with heaven. Now...what do you look like? Beautiful. Heaven thinks you’re to die for. Literally. Maybe your big, is the big personality that not everyone can handle, the big nose, the big foot, big hands, etc. instead of beating yourself up over...EMBRACE IT! OWN IT!!! You wear it well! #BigBoldAndBeautiful #inspiration #goodreads 📚 🦋💞
