“What I have discovered so far is that I am a good person. I have a good heart and I am definitely worth knowing and loving. I have a lot to say, i’m intelligent and definitely worth listening to.”

Man, I aspire to be able to write that statement and actually *mean* it.

Well, of *course* you’re worth it! But I understand exactly what you mean (looks like a lot of us do). Somehow, writing helps process everything – the highs and lows – and the online community provides support that even the most loving family and friends just can’t give us.

You’re doing *great*!

Sounds like this is a really powerful experience for you. It's really great to hear that you are engaging with the feelings rather than eating them away. BODA weight loss

This is a great post! You are worth it at any size, but you sound a lot like I did. Really examining myself as I was getting healthier made me realize how much I had to contribute to my family and my other relationships.

I love this!

Hi Kellie!

I first learned about the benefits of journaling when I took a class based on Julia Cameron’s book, “The Vein of Gold.” If you ever do get the chance, look the book over. Everyone who took the class with me got more out of it than they ever imagined

Oh, Kellie, you broke my heart — for you and for me because I have been exactly the same. You are DEFINITELY a person worth knowing, a person worth having good things in her life — and so am I. See? You gave me the courage to say that out loud.

Between my blog and learning how to eat for fuel rather than for therapy, my feelings are much more real — good and bad, they’re mine and I’m owning them but I’m not letting them define me. They’re just my feelings — just like my eyes are blue.

Keep going, girl, you are rocking it!

It does not sound cliche! I feel the same way. I did not think I was a very good writer but people say I am and I embrace it now if you know what I mean.

Sweetie YOU ARE worth it, ARE enough and you DO matter!!!

I don’t know about you, but in blogging I’m getting back to me, my true self, that the weight suffocated. I’m more in touch with my feelings and sense of humor. It’s a wonderful creative outlet that I’m so glad I’ve given time to blogging and to MYSELF.

I for one am glad you’re blogging too because reading about your journey helps me on mine. So, THANK YOU.

Good for you!

And I agree – my blog brings a whole new experience to writing. It is a joy and an outlet and a diversion from eating:)
