WHO IS IN CONTROL
Who is in control......your mind or your body?
For a lot of us.....it's our bodies & the cravings thereof....Whatever it cries for we feed it, know matter what the cravings maybe. Often times the mind has to do with the aftermath of the indulgence.....there follows the guilt & coverage of the behavior.
Sometimes there maybe an underlined problem encouraging our compulsive choices to reach for the things we do....we may even label it as a habit, which initially gives us a sense of ownership to do a certain thing know matter how detrimental it is.
We can come up with all kinds of reason why we smoke, drink alcohol, have sex outside of marriage, cheat, steal office supplies, curse, gossip, over eat, disrespect one another, lie etc.....
all of which can have an advise effect on our bodies SOONER or LATER.
We have got to conqueror these behaviors, because they will limit how far we can go in our pursuit of fitness. It really will. Look at how much further along we could be if we let go of our vices. Easier said than done.....
If we begin with renewing our minds not only with knowledge that will give us a better insight on the outcome of giving some of these things up, but also feeding our spirit the word of God which it craves on a regular for inspiration. Perhaps we will discover we had the strength in us all along to defeat these cravings that come to sabotage our efforts and keep us putting off working out.
Take a long hard look in the mirror, and ask yourself.....WHO IS IN CONTROL
Then correct the problem and get yourself back on track!
About Me
Hey guys! I am a native Washingtonian, wife & mother of two. My story is much like most women who have struggled to regain their body, love-of-self, and emotional confidence while going through life’s challenges. Eating became my biggest comfort in dealing with these challenges, and little by little 100 extra pounds of guilt and shame became my newest reality.
My wake-up call was looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back at me, nor being familiar with the pain & illnesses associated with this new body. I had become a different person, but I knew, deep down inside, that I loved myself more than the stranger I had become. By the grace of God, consistency, and determination, I crawled out of depression and into a life filled with rejuvenation and purpose through healthy eating and daily exercise. Heal the mind and the body will follow! Tap into your emotional center and you'll discover the TRUE Beauty N YOU!

Reflection in the Mirror
(This is Me)
I don't know about you but I love my lips, hips, eyes, face, O, and my kinky hair. Damn, I love me. It's not all about that. I also see the inner being. I see my heart, the caring person that I am. Always hoping that peoples lives are as happy as possible. I'm a person who believes in herself and strives to enhance my life.
I see an intuitive, ambitious young women with a pure heart of gold that is sometimes twisted, confused, and hurt. But I see through it, discuss it, I notice my courage and strength and I regain myself and continue to move forward.
I'm a Diamond That's Treasured
