It's not about the numbers. It's about the words, the words we use to inhibit, to control, to inspire, and to empower ourselves. I changed my diet and that changed my body. I changed my vocabulary and that changed my life. And, as the days go by, I concern myself less with the numbers on the scale and more so with the words that are in my head. I no longer say that I'm overweight or unattractive or invisible. I choose to be as kind to myself as I try to be to others by saying that I am healthy or improved or just plain better. Because this journey that I'm on is not about weight; it never was. It's about worth and that can't be determined on a scale or through the eyes of others. Worth is inside of you. Change your words and find it.

Hi Kim, I would love to join your blog. I am a mother of six beautiful children. I am now myself on my journey to love myself for the first time after my children who are all grown up and on their own. I need to lose weight. It has become to a point to lose weight or die from 7 doctors. I am now caring about me, myself and I. I read your journey and I honestly believe you could be a strength to me in my journey. I thank God that I found you by mistake but a blessing from God. God has my journey already planned out and I need to find myself to get on the right path. Can you help me please.
