So... these days I take a lot of selfies... mainly because I cannot believe the woman in the mirror is actually me. It’s taken a very very long time to work my way through a multitude of insecurities. I’m here... or there now. I love the reflection I see in the mirror these days. It’s been difficult swallowing my sorrows and pains each time I’d pass a looking glass. I’m here now... with a new found confidence. I will finally finish my Education degree and become the teacher I never thought I would become! I’m so thankful for this opportunity as it offers a freedom that many will never understand. As for now... I’m enjoying the new me and all the wonderful friends I have accumulated over the past two years because of my transformation. I’m also thankful for learning what I will and will not accept in my life... or my children’s. Be blessed ❤️ Love SAM
In January, 2018, I began a Ketogenic diet. At first I was skeptical, but as time passed I realized it was the best decision of my life. It's now mid-July and I have lost nearly 50 lbs. Not only have I lost the weight, I've increased my good cholesterol (HDL) and reduced my bad cholesterol (LDL) by 30 points. I've also evened out my glucose levels and feel the best I have felt in a very long time. My next plan is to work on my relationships, lift weights and shoot my bow more. I know... not a whole lot for an old lady. Sam
