maybe it's because i grew up believing that no one kept their word. my parents divorced and family members abused me. boyfriends cheated. friends betrayed.
maybe it's because i went through a long stint of being dishonest, myself.
maybe i'm just born cynical.

Beating the stress monster with a big stick
I've never really considered myself a binge eater, an emotional eater OR an alcoholic. I do do things to extremes, though, especially when stressed. (did you giggle when you read do do? i did!)
If I stress, I tend to do other stressful things. I spend more money. I go...

random ramblings
I have meant to sit and write a post about rodeo, about how I became a Christian, cloth diapering, being a stepparent, cooking for eight, being a closed captioner, and about my dream to open a training center in my tiny hometown.
Somehow life got in the way.
First, I'll touch on being a totally...

Working in one's strengths
Dave Ramsey says to work in your strengths; that no amount of money will ever really be enough if you're working in a job that you hate. I feel like he took the words out of my mouth, but he says it so much better than I. In reality, I suppose he'd better -- he gets paid to say stuff like...

eye opener
I had an eye opening experience today that made me really check myself and realize just how harsh of a critic I am... on ME.

What if Wednesday
So...
What if I start something and STICK to it? What if I don't give up on me? What if I don't make excuses? What if I keep doing it, even when it's not convenient? What if it gets hard, but I keep on? What if this is my new life?
What if I'm not the fat girl anymore? ...
