Have I changed? HELL YEA

Jul 11, 2012

I asked myself this question yesterday after a HUGE shouting match with my mother. so not what I wanted to do on my desperately needed day off.

And YES, I have changed!

I no longer allow people to walk all over me for "the sake of keeping the peace".
I have self-esteem and know I am worth being respected.
Just 6 months ago I would have sat and listened to all of my mothers criticism silently. Then I would have gone home and stuffed my face with a Big Mac, Large fries and a Milk shake! Once done with that, I would have cried for hours. Then my boyfriend and I would end up getting into a fight because I didn't stand up for myself.
NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!
I firmly asked her to stop and pointed out everything that she was saying and doing that made me uncomfortable.
Somehow it turned into a shouting match and I am proud to say I DID NOT BACK DOWN. She was in total shock and said "boy, have you changed" and I said "HELL YEAH!!!"

RNY has given back so much of me that I had lost and I am grateful everyday for it
