I have been thinking a LOT about this post, this blog, and how I want to handle my new journey. I want it to be surrounded with everything positive. When we look at ourselves and say ... "I should look like her," or "I should have abs like that," it turns me off of the whole journey. I am not perfect and certainly don't expect to be perfect any time soon, or ever. I am only me. I am not perfect. I am not great or awesome. BUT I am me. LITTLE, TINY me.

That is a pretty big thing. I owe some things to myself and my own body, and that is what this journey is about. It is not about what looks good on other people, who I should look like, or even what looks good on the runway. I would be naive to think that I would have hard-core abs at the end of all of this.  Instead, I want to gain a sense of who I am and what I like about myself. THAT is what this journey is about.

It is scary, it is exciting, and I hope it will be fun. But the end result is not cut abs (although that would be a huge perk!) The end is a love of oneself, body and soul, a sense of accomplishment, confidence, and the knowledge that Palmetto Diet Divas can kick butt! (as well as some clogging along the way - PDD!)

Plus, Shannon and I have some pretty amazing Halloween costumes planned. Just wait!
