I just got home… barely in the door and all I can think about is blogging.  It’s a new year and man am I working on being a new girl.

I want to explain some things to you… I get email all the time telling me I am “hot”, etc.  I have to laugh cause I know that I am not… and all my “real” friends know this to be true.  I always say pictures lie, but somehow no one seems to believe me.  Let me explain.

I am a big girl… I have never been thin, and I probably never will be.  This is perfectly ok with me.  My mother and my sister are smaller than me, but I can happily flaunt the fact that I have boobs.  Sadly, if I were the same size as they… I would be without the boobies too.  I have never been happy with my weight, but since the move to Phoenix, I can safely say I have put on atleast 10 pounds if not 15.  I know that doesn’t sound like much, but for a girl that was heavier to begin with… this is more than I wish to carry.

I can still deceive the eye… for a girl can give this as the first impression

and still look like this.

(FYI this is not a personal pic :-)… I found it online)

I want to love my body no matter the size, and inturn I think you should love yours too… you are a work of art, and no magazine, television show, or movie should set the standard for comparison. 

Love you for you

SO.. new year… new girl.. I am ditching the extra pounds, and am going to try to live a healthier lifestyle.  I have also ditched the meds… which some of you might know I take to control anxiety (this can also pack on the pounds).  I have ditched the doctor that writes me the scipts for these drugs… which I have to say I have never met (his nurse forks over the notes and happily takes my money). This can have some ill effects… I have been without for almost a week, and I can feel the old me clearing the fog.  Hopfully this will mean I will be writing more, and the weirdo will rear its ugly head once again. I will try not to freak out on you.

Well… new me.. I start a new job in about a week.  I have chopped off my locks to flaunt a new do… I brought back some of the old blonde but made sure the red is still mingling in the bunch… pictures coming soon.

New job, new hair… new column for a local magazine… a website in the works…. look for 2mara.com in the next few weeks. What’s left, but… WORLD DOMINATION.

LOOK OUT…

Make any New Year’s Resolutions you care to share with me?
