A lifestyle change is just that, a lifestyle, nota life sentence...
Last night my husband and I went to a local carnival, Grape Festival, and for the first time in I dont know how many years, I walked around that whole carnival without having to stop and rest. Three miles!! We went on a ride, I not only fit on the ride, but my husband was able to ride in the seat beside me!!! It was such a wonderful night!
It's been a wonderful week, I've made the decision to try to be positive no matter what comes my way. There have been rough days, but instead of letting that defeat me, I've risen above it. The smile on my face has been real and has made this week so much easier.
I have started posting on my Instagram daily, motivational messages to get me through. I have found it makes me happier when I share my journey with people. I wish my home computer worked better because I love posting here, reading everyone's posts and sharing the joys and struggles with all of you. They made it to where I cant look at the internet at work, besides work sites. It sucks, and honestly, it depresses me when I cant see everything you all are posting. I try to go through when I can, but it's harder on my phone. I'm sorry!! Just know that I am still around, rooting for you, believing in you!! I am going to work on my home computer and get it working so I can at least log in in the evenings and catch up.
The swelling in my legs is going down some. Slowly but surely, it's getting smaller. I bought some Lymphatic Drainage oil with ginger, and will massage them with that at night, before bed, to see if it helps. They are so unattractive to me, and it's the one thing I am really embarrassed about on my body. I'm working on it, and know that it will change, but it's taking longer than I wanted.
I am going to pull out the cherry dress tonight, again, and see if it fits yet. If it does, I am going to wear it on my anniversary date night. My anniversary is the 20th, so I'm really hoping it fits.
This week I will pray for continued healing and transformation of my mind and body. I will pray that the hold that junk foods and sweets has over me will be broken. I will pray that I grow stronger and better every day. I will pray that my strength will be a motivation for others. I will pray to inspire and motivate those around me to be the best they can be! I thank God for the successes I have already had and pray for even more. In Jesus holy name, Amen!!
Dont let life pass you by while waiting for the perfect time to change. The time is now, and you can do it, you are strong enough, dedicated enough, and will be able to conquer all the monsters in your path!! Love yourself, because you are stuck with you forever!!

I, too, suffer from swelling. Mine is lymphedema due to venous insufficiency. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and although I’m seeing a huge difference, I’m still in a lot of pain and can’t stand for longer than 20 minutes or so without severe pain. Wishing for your continued healing, as I know how much it can sap your energy and self esteem!

Klynn, great attitude! You've come a long way, baby. 👍😁
Re: the hair loss. Are you getting enough protein? Also, fluctuation in hormones can cause hair loss. Have you asked your doc?
Love your posts. 👍❤

I enjoy reading your posts, I could never express myself like you do, but I can relate at times. I was feeling down last week and I knew I just had to snap out of it cause it's a waste of time being grumpy. Life is a struggle but I love the challenge. Also, that photo of you with the mask is great! Thanks for sharing.

thank you Klynn for this post, As with so many of your posts this is another one that I really needed to read at this time. I have been guilty of 'pity me party' lately but you helped me 'see the light'. We all are special and important and worthy of love & respect especially loving and respecting ourselves :-) You have touched me deeply with your message today and I am very grateful <3 Hugs to you
