I'm feeling really positive and happy this month. Last month was good and was all about big changes, while we have a lot planned for this month and are making more plans for the future that are making me really excited. It is has been hard to choose just ten things that are making me smile, but here goes.

It's Monday morning, so here's your second dose of motivation to help you get through the week!
I've been sorting through my clothes recently to see what can be altered what needs to get put away ready for my future maternity wardrobe and what are ready for the next stage of weight loss. I really love my collection of clothes now, especially after it has taken several years to completely fill my wardrobe with vintage-style clothing and to get rid of items I don't really wear.
However, there are some dresses that I have always wanted to buy but haven't felt confident enough to. I'm all for people wearing whatever they want - my teenage goth years will attest to this - and I am always amazed by people who wear the outfits I would love to, no matter what their size, but I still haven't got up the courage to buy my ultimate wishlist. This is going to change though. I'm already working on my confidence and positive views on my body and I think both are only going to get better. I don't have a goal in mind for my dress size, but when I think my self-esteem is high enough, I'm going to invest in these killer outfits: My 28th birthday was last month and although I couldn't enjoy a good meal and a huge slice of cake, I did get well and truly spoilt. Family, friends and my husband got me lots of gorgeous things, as well as some money to go out for a bit of shopping. I also treated myself to a few bits - well I did do a lot of overtime in May so totally deserved.
Here is some of my birthday haul and my review of everything: I've worked really hard to be more positive about my body over the last few years, especially in during the build-up to my operation. This has meant that I was in a pretty good place before having my gastric band fitted and that I am now embracing my changing body.
Not only has this meant that I've been happier all round - which is a really great feeling following several months of dealing with my depression - it has allowed me to leave the house every day feeling beautiful, which is a very new feeling for me. Even on days where I've been running late, haven't had a chance to wash my hair and my makeup hasn't gone to plan, I've felt great; so much so, I've actually started taking full-length photos of myself. |
