Bravery

Some of my new blogger friends have asked to see a picture of me in the red dress I wore to the wedding. I can't tell you how nervous I am about it! But, here we go!


I admit, I made it small on purpose! :) Hey, don't judge. I'm taking baby steps here! I am still afraid someone I know will see my blog and KNOW how much I weigh. Silly, I know. But, it is what it is.


I received my first blog award today. Thank you to Brittany over at :Deliciously Healthy for this award:

The rules for this award are as follows:
1.Thank the person who gave you the award.

2. Share seven things about yourself.

3. Nominate 15 newly discovered blogs.

4. Let your nominees know about the award.


7 Things about me:
 
1. I love plants/flowers, but they do NOT love me. I try and try. I've gotten a little better over the years. Maybe one or two will survive, but that's it!
 
2. My left foot and my right foot look completely different (to me).
 
3. I have always felt older than I really am...even as a child. Does this mean I have an "old soul?"
 
4. I call the area where my rear end looks like it ran into my thigh my "buthigh" (pronounced bu-thight). My friends laugh hysterically at this, but you curvy-hippy girls know what I mean.
 
5. I have had plastic surgery....on my leg!
 
6. Swimming in water where I can't see the bottom freaks me out! I am convinced snakes, fish, sharks, etc. are right under me. I know this is a bit confusing since I live on a lake, but as long as I'm not near the "shore", I feel somewhat safe.
 
7. I get mad at myself for finishing a great book too quickly. Yet, I never slow down. Hmmm.
 
 
I pass this award onto the following blogs:
 
Thank you, Brittany!!!





I hope I did all of that correctly. I am very new to this! :-)



Thanks to all of you who comment on my blog. It is very inspiring! I love it!
 
Weigh in yesterday: 187
 
Have a great day!

  2. Thank you! I love that this one has us nominate newly discovered blogs:) I will probably post about it next week.

    And, I think you were very brave:) I have not posted a pic of myself on my blog and finally decided that would be a perfect way to celebrate my one year anniversary. If I don't chicken out.

    And yes....you look just fabulous in that red dress! Really great!
    Isn't funny how we don't mind just telling about whatever for strangers to read...but we're not sure if we're ready for our real life friends to read our blogs? I know!
    Enjoy your day!
