My Infertility Journey

2

I started my menstrual cycle when I was 10.  By the age of 15, I was having issues with it.  During my cycles, I experienced excruciating pain where I could barely sit.  I also noticed instead of lasting a few days, my cycle were lasting for months at a time.  There were other times where it wouldn’t come on for months at a time.  I didn’t know what was wrong with me, and I didn’t tell my mom.  When I was 17 I told my oldest sister, and she took me to the doctor who just prescribed me birth control […]

Feeling Ourselves

, , , 2

Some of you may or may not remember my post from last year about the photo shoot my oldest sister and I did with my husband (here).  Well, we decided that we loved it so much that we could have a repeat every year.  We had decided that we would work hard and lose weight and have a comparison photo shoot the following year.  This past year we did not have the same level of excitement leading up to the shoot.  I attribute that to the fact that we did not lose the weight that we wanted so we were […]

Seemingly Impossible

Last night I had a talk with my brother who has been on a health and wellness journey and has had quite the success.  He asked me if I thought that weight loss was possible.  I told him that for me many days I really feel as though I cannot do this.  In the back of my mind it’s like I know I can do this.  I told him that I have all of the tools, but I don’t feel as though I have the dedication.  I don’t know what will give me the extra push.  I feel overwhelmed most […]

I Remember the Time

I remember the time that I had a photo shoot with my husband.  It wasn’t the first time, but I believe it might have been the last time.  He told me that he needed me for some pictures.  He wanted me to wear all black or something similar to all black.  Well, with all of my insecurities, I felt quite uncomfortable in my clothes.  When he sent me some pictures, I couldn’t help but notice how absolutely beautiful and fierce I looked.  We are normally our own worst critics, so just stop being so hard on yourself sometimes.  It’s hard […]

What did we do….where did we go?

, 0

Normally my weekends are filled with a whole bunch of nothing.  They are either busy or lazy.  it always feels as though I am cleaning the same rooms making little to no progress or trying to “catch up” on sleep.  I heard years ago that sleep lost can never be regained, so it’s a vicious cycle.  My sister had decided about a week ahead of time that she and my niece were going to go to Wild Adventures the upcoming weekend.  I thought about it and decided that I should go ahead and go because I needed something different and so […]

You’re so Ugly

, 6

Have you ever had those moments where you’ve just felt so unattractive?  Well, you are not alone.  There are so many of us out there that have the same feelings.  It’s fine every so often as long as we don’t stay in that negative space for too long.  For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with body image issues.  Back in September I thought that I would like to do some semblance of a boudoir photo shoot so that I could look and feel good.  My husband is a photographer, but I know that he is not […]
