Walk Around the Pole

Hi everyone!

I started this blog as a way to keep myself on track and honest about my bucket list. On my journey to a healthier me, I want to try all of the things that I’ve been afraid to, because of my size.

But is it because of my size? Really, my weight doesn’t limit me, it’s the judgments of others that keep me covered up and hidden away. It’s my own choice if I want to be influenced by the views and opinions of others.

I thought I was ready for this. I thought I’d grown enough to be able to embrace each item on my list.

Today, is pole dancing. Pole dancing!? Is that something I can really do? All of my rolls will be rolling! What if someone boos me off the stage? I know doing this is the ultimate demonstration of loving my body, but it’s also exposing my every insecurity.

I made a promise to myself, and to all of you, that I would follow through with this list, no matter how nervous I get. I hope that I can make good on that promise, so I’ve created a mantra to keep me focused.

Maybe you could say it with me, to give me a little more mojo?

Love,
