Just because YOU think I'm not small enough, doesn't mean I'm not beautiful.


Just because u think I'm not small enough, doesn't mean I'm not beautiful.

I have spent the most part of my life trying to look the way others wanted me to. I was anorexic/bulimic for about 5 years of my life. From 91 til about 96. I didn't want to gain anymore weight and I was hell bent on losing the weight I already had. It was a horrible time in my life. I didn't tell anyone...no one knew.

I was in love with this guy that considered me only a notch in his belt. I hated him and I loved him at the same time. At least I thought it was love. It might have been lust and raging hormones. Whatever it was I was in deep. And all while I was in whatever I was in with this guy, he did not see me at all. I felt like Angie in 'Saturday Night Fever' when she tried to get Tony to notice her. She was one sad individual. I think I regurgitated water trying to get small enough for him to notice me.

Then I met another guy in September of 91...on my birthday as a matter of fact. It was the best birthday ever...until 2005 that is. When we would go out to eat, which was rare, I would throw that meal up and he never knew about it. Again I was trying my best not to gain anymore weight. I wanted to look like he wanted me to look..... Whatever the heck that was.

And now today I met this guy a few weeks ago and he seemed to reject me before I even said a word. He was watching me. He was checking for me. I didn't even see him at first. I was minding my own. Then I get out of my car and walk towards the building and he has the nerve to say "you look smaller in the car..." WTFilp! How dare him! I am not the kind of person that snaps off, so I simply said this... "just because you don't think I'm small enough, doesn't mean I'm any less beautiful!" and with a Fabulous strut brought to you by Jimmy Choo courtesy of 4 inch heeled winter white boots, I walked off feeling just as confident as I did before I got out of the car.

Wow!

Sorry you had to go threw that a couple weeks ago sis... thats just ignorant... own your body.. no matter what size you are... its about being healthy ultimately... glad you are no longer dealing with an eating disorder and have the strength to own your worth and strut away from that fool still confidant.

Happy holidays!

Lifestyles Conversation...Take 1(Clack!)

Okay so while me and a few of my co~workers were in the breakroom early this morning, I began to tell them about this board game I bought. In this game there is a part where you have to tell the truth about whatever the next player ask you...it's sort of like "Truth or Dare"... but with a twist...and it's for grown folks...okayyyyy! Well One of the cards you can play is called "Lunch with the girls!" and it has several different open~ended questions on it. For instance one card might say: How do you... and then you have to fill in the blank...with whatever comes to your mind first, but it has to be something real true and honest. Well we played a bit of it during our break and let me tell you...them folks I work with are NASTY YA'LL! *LOL* They had me rolling...but it was all in good fun. I decided to do one and post it. Now I won't tag anyone to do one of their own, but I will encourage you to. It's a fun way of revealing just a little bi...

Okay so like the day before Thanksgiving my girl Belle (we call her that cause she loves to read books like Belle from Beauty and the Beast...plus she sings everything!) Anyway, she called me and told me she was going to her company's Pre~Thanksgiving party and she needed to borrow some really trendy shoes to complete the outfit wearing. Well this is how she said it ..."Danni, can I use a pair of your shoes to go with these new jeans I'm wearing to my jobs party tonight?" No class at all folks! Anyway, at first I was like (in the back of my mind) Hell Naw you can't use a pair of my shoes! Are you crazy? But then I sorta felt sorry for her and her new pair of jeans...I mean they deserve to be the hit of the party right? And what way to do that then with a fabulous pair of shoes. So I reluctantly said yes and asked her to describe her outfit to me so that I could pick just the right pair. She told me she was wearing this Seafoam green and Pink silk blouse and of co...

These are my nephews folks. And when I say they are different as night and day...I mean they are different as night and day. Matthew is the tall one. He is 14 1/2 years old. He is a freshman in highschool and stands about 5'9~5'10 so far. Jaylend is the shorty:) He is 5 years old (September) He is in Kindergarten and he stands about 3'0 so far. My sister had these buggers far apart Right! I always said that I would not have my children so far apart...but my sister's case was a little bit different. When she was pregnant with Matt I was in my last year of highschool. We were so excited because this was the first grandchild for our family...well, for my mother, kim and I that is. All of a sudden during her pregnancy, she got real sick. I mean deathly sick. She was constantly throwing up. She lost wayyyyyy to murch weight. She looked bad ya'll. My sister was so ill that she couldn't even drink water! She threw everything up folks... she was miserable: *what she had...
