My Recovery Activity: smash booking!

It’s really difficult to overcome lack of control with food. I wanted to create an inspirational, positive smash book about getting healthy and fit, while learning to love what I see in the mirror. I googled weight loss smash book for some inspiration and came across this amazing video. Her book is gorgeous as are her others.

I encourage you to find an activity that you enjoy doing and gets your mind off the stress that food can bring. I have another smash book that I’m going to put all the things I love in! These books are 13 dollars and the pages in them are gorgeous!

I didn’t go to junior or senior prom because I thought I was too fat and wouldn’t look good in a dress. If I could go back in time and tell 16 year old me something, it would be don’t let your insecurities hold you back from living your life. Don’t compare yourself to others, and don’t hate yourself for who you’re not. Love yourself for who you are, and realize that even the tiniest of talents can be turned into something extraordinary. 

I hated high school more than anything. I was lonely and had no friends by the time I left. But if I had the confidence I had now, I could have lived those lonely days with meaning. I wish somebody told me that when I was 16. Who knows where I would be today. 

If anyone is reading this, just remember that you are beautiful and unique, and only you can take that from yourself. Drown your flaws with your perfections, and perfect the things you drown. Don’t let the atmosphere you live in affect who you are and who you can be. Some of my greatest progress as a person came from being completely alone.

Make the changes you have been dreaming of. You CAN do it!
