A Healthier Me.



     Weeks ago, I would have scoffed the idea, thinking those who follow this life-style and diet are tree-hugging veg-head weirdos. But, it took but a few minutes to decide I needed to change. While doing so, I didn't really realize what was happening. I have taken the plunge to try and live without eating processed food, bread, or drinking pop. Ultimately, I am trying to stick to organic foods. And, just in 5 days I have began feeling so much healthier and better about myself! I have had bread a few times, and allow myself crackers and cereal.

   I never thought I would eat like this. I didn't think that simply cutting out processed foods would even make a slight difference! But it has! I've been smiling more, disliking my appearance less, and wanting to get out and do stuff more. And now I feel like telling everyone to do the same! I will never be vegetarian/vegan though! I allow myself turkey and chicken, cause it's too good to cut out!

(Wanna know a secret? Not all organic foods are gross and expensive :) They are good and most cost just as much as processed food!)

A month ago, I would not have been confident enough to let my mom do a photo-shoot of me, but I feel good enough now :) And don't hate the way I look anymore!

So here's to a new self!

Thank You



To everyone that has helped me become who I am,

Thank you. Even if you hated me, if you talked bad about me, if you criticized me, or gave me the smallest of a compliment. Thank you if you encouraged me, or if you smiled at me, or took the time to talk to me. Thank you, even if we don't talk anymore, if we have had a fight, or if we were mere strangers. Thank you if you've loved me, stayed by me, or helped me stay strong.

Because thanks to you, I'm finally figuring out who I am.

<3
