Day 2/Pound 2 I let go of shame and embraced freedom. Believe it or not, I was ashamed of how I looked. How I had gotten to be at this place I was in both physically and emotionally? See me hiding on the right in this photo taken of me, my sister, and my cousins a couple of years ago? This was my standard pose for years. Trying to shrink myself so others would not see me. It is not effective and it is not good for my own self-worth. I had to let go of this shame. Accept myself for who I was and who I am. I have had struggles in life and I am sure those struggles got me to where I was physically and emotionally. However, I cannot bring shame upon myself for situations I could not control. I needed to accept all that has happened in my life, the good and the bad, because that is what has shaped the person I have become. It is in this moment when I released the shame that I finally felt FREE.
