Illustrated.

The fabulous Emily from Jammy and Jelly illustrated my 2014 resolve to stay healthy. It pretty much made my week and it’s going to be printed out and stuck up where I can’t ignore it. Not that I have any intention to ignore my promise to myself. This is going to be the year for health. I just need to get a couple more pounds on, get my back operation out of the way and get my strength back then the world is my oyster.
Oh, I can’t wait!
Being around other bloggers on Saturday really helped cement this resolution. The difference I felt being around peopel I hadn’t met before compared to the last time was really striking. Before I used to be convinced they’d be paying attention only to how I looked, but this time I felt ok. Not aware of the size of my thighs or if my tummy was sticking out over the top of my skirt.
I still felt insecure, the inferiority complex did kick in…but I’m working on it. A few more visits to #BlogClub (set up by the fabulous Hayley and VAN) and I should come out of my shell. I felt proper anti social as I was too nervous to speak to some of the people there (but hey guys, if you’re reading I think you are awesome!). Baby steps. Just getting there was progress.
What do you hope to achieve?

  1. That’s gorgeous and you are super amazing.

  2. Well done for going along. Getting out of the comfort zone is never as scary as we think it will be. I’m always nervous when meeting new people but, generally, people are lovely.
