New Chapter -- What Was Holding Me Back?

As you may or may not know I started my blog and YouTube platforms back in 2012? I am not entirely sure when my first "entries"  were so to speak but they were not for years later. I was an avid fan of social media and how it allowed our generation to create and learn in new ways. I would say that my inconsistency and lack of commitment to my social media has come from my own harsh judgments of myself. Creating excuses and barriers as to why I would fail before I even fully tried.

Being our own worst critics is very disabling. I have recently decided that I will just take life by the reigns and instead of continuing to push things on to tomorrow or the next week, I will strive to make my dreams a reality. If I want to be working from home and creating my own business then I have to work towards that. I have to put the time into it. Nobody else can do it for me, nobody else will benefit from it. Realizing that was so calming, to see that everyday really is a new opportunity. 

Just like I had tossed my dreams aside, I also tossed my health aside. Creating yet another reason for me to believe I would not succeed at social media. I gained around fifty pounds over a span of three years. Mostly, enjoying nights in with my husband and takeout. I do not feel guilty for having had those lovely nights and indulging in food as much as we had. However, we both gained weight (me more than him), but alas we cannot change time or change the decisions we had made as they have created who we are now. Three years later, I am insecure in my own skin, with no idea how to tackle losing weight. That will be my focus alongside my social media, because if I don't do something about it I do not want to regret it in the future. 

So, to bring this long schpiel to an end, I will be rededicating myself to my YouTube, Blog, and Instagram, along with my weight. My goal is to have 100 subbies on YT by the end of the month, so if you did not know I had a channel feel free to subscribe!

 You'll be making this girls dreams a reality!
