Friday Favorites!

Back in my teenage years and my early twenties I used to OBSESS about my weight constantly. I thought about every teensy thing I ate, I worked out for hours a day and I hated my body. I thought about myself and my body and my eating so much that it really began to take over my life and make me so miserable. I realized what a selfish and useless thing I was doing with a perfectly good life. I realized that even though a few extra pounds had the power to make me feel so useless and unworthy, no one else I cared about cared a smidgen if I was super skinny or not. I had to change the way I thought but the change was so drastic I didn’t know where to begin. One of the biggest things that helped me change is when I started getting those obsessive thoughts I would immediately hop up and go do something nice for someone. It was really hard to stay in that rut when I was thinking about someone else. When I was done I felt accomplished and worthwhile. It was a small thing but it made a huge difference and overtime I really gained a much healthier relationship with my body (although I still struggle from time to time). I loved stumbling on this quote because I need to be reminded that I can use that strategy with anything that is bad and it will help turn it around.

I’m really picky with candle smells these days and I’m always searching for a yummy summer scent (fall scents are SO easy) so when I found this guy on sale I was pretty stoked. It just arrived today and ‘m not the least bit disappointed.
