{this is me as of now & i'm extremely happy for 2 reasons}
1. i've officially lost 21.5 pounds & i'm 5 pounds away from my goal
2. i'm leaving for one of my favorite places on earth in just a few hours.
beech mountain, nc!

i am also quick to remember. this weight loss is not what defines me.
the following song filled my heart when i was in college. it's entitled "beautiful" by bethany dillon. a positive self-image has been a struggle of mine for years. i wanted to be what i thought was beautiful, but i quickly found that my definition of beauty was what the world has defined as beautiful... physical beauty.
my prayer began to change drasticially & i wanted what Bethany sings in this song. i wanted God to look inside my heart & find me beautiful... from the inside out! i hope you find her words as inspiring as i have!
I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep
cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me
Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life
[Chorus]
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart, and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory
[Chorus]
You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love and beautiful
