Day 17 WARNING: This is some personal stuff.

Day 17 of journey
Day 10 of Lusciously Clean

I recorded a video for today's entry. It is some serious shit I'm dealing with. Just a warning for those who like things breezy and positive. If you're looking for light hearted fare this entry ain't it. The video is 7 minutes and has some curse words. Also if you're grossed out by fat flesh look away. Please be respectful with any comments.

  1. You are such an incredible woman... and I am so touched that you've allowed us to see your insides (and no, I'm not talking about your nakedness). When I first met you, I wished that I could be as comfortable and beautiful with my own large curves as you seemed with yours.

    The emotion, situation,you've exposed today is something that I am intimately familiar with in my own life. Your display of human vunerability is beautiful... your determination is gorgeous... you, my dear friend are simply stunning.. I applaud you, and hereby declare myself a cheerleader for/in your quest of reaching health and comfort in your own body. I hope to reach that goal myself too.

    Bravo.

    lots of love...
    your twinsie

  2. Shelly, I am Stanzi's Mom. I will always remember you as the "Gold Finger" girl.

    Please let me say that you didn't fail today. You simply had a human moment. Stanzi knows that we do not follow her strict guidelines, but do incorporate many of the same goals in our diet. The biggest thing to remember is moderation in all things. My body is not the same as when I was 20, or 30, or 40, or 50. I have evolved and making peace with that isn't easy. You are a beautiful woman who had a rough day. You are NOT a failure. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would show anyone else. Who deserves it more? Learn to love yourself and the rest will come. Peace and be well.

  3. Shelly you are such an amazing woman. Stop beating yourself up over this set back. Its done and now you move on. Your NOT going to die because the world needs you!! Your going to achieve your goals. Give yourself more time. Your body has to adjust to the changes and as we age those changes come on much more slowly. Your body will kick it in to gear soon enough. Then the weight will start falling off. Consider your fluid retention and if you think that a lot of it is from that then start drinking a lot of lemon water. Lemon is a natural diuretic and will help a lot. I feel ya sista I have gain 25lbs in a year and have all kinds of medical issues now after my neck surgery. Life does get better. Keep your head up. We love you and support you completely!! You are such a beautiful woman inside and out!!
