I'm doing me!!

One reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with other people’s highlight reel!!

I love this quote.  It sums up how I feel right now in terms of my weight loss journey.  I read about all the successes of my wonderful banded sisters and I celebrate for each of you.  My happiness for you is genuine.  At the same time I give myself negative feedback for not being further along in my journey than I am.  It's a constant struggle to accept that each and every one of us are different.  Our differences is what makes us great. 

This quote just really hit home for me today.  So I thought I would share it with you all.  I hope everyone is having a fantastic week.

BTW...I may not post much for the next few weeks.  However, I will be reading and commenting.  I am finding me...and it takes a lot of work...after all I am a big girl.  LOL 

Love you all bunches!!

A very good quote!

You know you. You just have hidden her away for a while!

You are a light in the darkness sweetie!! So don't skip blogging for too long!

Another quote: Comparison is the thief of joy.

Enjoy "doing" and finding yourself. ;)

What a fabulous quote! We cannot compare ourselves to others on this journey because we are all different...in body shape, size, commitment and lifestyle. Everyone's story will be different.

Props to you, Dawnya. Comparing ourselves to each other is so frustrating and really serves no good. I am just so glad you are focused on you and all the wonderfulness that is Dawnya.

Great quote...and I agree with the others...our journeys are very personal - we all lose at different rates and have our own baggage to deal with along the way. Just because it looks easy based on what we post on our blogs doesn't necessarily mean it is...

Just be true to yourself and walk your own path without comparing yourself to others. I'll miss you while you're away finding yourself but don't stay away too long...I'm liable to drive to Texas and find your beautiful ass if you don't come back to me soon!

I love you tons, girl!

I love this quote! Thank you Dawnya... I'm telling you, I completely understand. And feel like this when I see everyone else so far ahead. :)

Such a perfect quote and so true. I know for a fact I'm not one to post much about my dark times. I am much more likely to post my highlights. Please don't stay away long, we love and miss you when you're not here checking in.

Love this! It's hard not to compare ourselves with others, but we have to just do the best we can and focus on our successes!
