Me and a great friend Bianca 2003

 

 

My whole life I have had weight issues!  I was the chubby kid growing up!  Weight has defined me my whole life!  I wasn't a popular kid in high school nor would I say I was a nerd.  But I was picked on during school.. I heard the awful comments of shes a pig..etc... I remember one time a football player telling my best friend who got me a christmas gift if its not food shes not going to like it.  It hurt me me and stuck with me through my whole life.  As I write this right now I'm embarassed by it.  I actually feel like the girl from Never been kissed telling her story and how that part of my life didn't define me!


Throughout college I continued to struggle with my weight... I was able to loose it off and on!  finally I am down to my goal weight and loosing 105 pounds ... I still hear that guys voice in the back of my head when I'm on a spin bike.  As a teacher I see kids get bullied and thats one thing I wont stand for... I hope that when that guy grows up that he doesn't teach his kids that.  But in the end those comments got me going....  I use to think if someone would actually love me... That's so sad to say that growing up I thought no one in the their mind would fall in love with this mess.  Boy was I wrong... I found a man who loved me no matter what I looked like!    The most important thing I learned was that anything is possible!  I recently got married and my dream always was to wear a puffy dress but I could never do it because I was too big!  So I was determine to get that dress and let me tell you I did!

You may ask why I write all of this...what could make me want to vent... I've had some big news that I would like to share!!! I'M THE COVER OF THE WEDDING GUIDE! This blog is for that little girl who has a dream of being a princess but thinks it could never be possible... For that kid who gets made fun of because hes gay.... people will not define you!!! You define yourself!  I've been dying to share this with you!

My cousin was in Davds bridal with a friend I believe and she had the mag. in her hand and she said omg let me see that!  That's my cousin!!!!  Tonight I got a text of this picture.... and I couldn't help but dance!  The Caterpillar turned into a butterfly.  Never let anyone or anything define your dreams!  Sorry its blurry its from a phone..
