Here’s the story of how I got to where I am today….

When I was younger I was skinny and always active, climbed trees with my older brothers, just always doing something…..around third or fourth grade I began gaining weight, around that time I was going through depression, doubting my self-worth,ZERO confidence…why you ask? For one around that time, something terrible happened in my life and i didn’t know how to cope, nor told anyone, so i dealt with it alone. Two, my family moved from a neighborhood where i grew up and had plenty of friends, popular girl in school to going to a predominantly white school, being the only black girl so of course i went through the racism…..Thirdly i was CONSTANTLY dragged through the mud emotionally on a daily basis dealing with torturous brothers who constantly made fun on my weight. So lets recap….traumatic experience following by life changing move followed by depression followed by eating followed by torment, I don’t know how I survived internally. I even thought about taking my own life bc i figured no one would miss me, not even my parents bc they rarely stuck up for me against my brothers, they thought it was just innocent brother behavior not knowing it was really killing me inside. So up until 15-16 years old when my older brother finally got kicked out the house, i had a chance to breathe and began working on my confidence…. I didn’t even wear a short sleeve shirt until I was 16!!!Thats how self-conscious i was. Anywho throughout middle and high school although being an athlete I still had an easy target…my weight, so whenever in a confrontation that was the first thing mentioned…..So finally went off to college, and after my first year of playing ball in 2003 i began losing the weight, dropped over 30lbs from march to september….a butterfly began to emerge!!!! so since 2003 I’ve been on the journey of becoming 100% happy, i went from 0% as a child/teenager to about 88% presently, its never too late. So now I find myself not cocky and conceited but sometimes i find myself gassing myself up a little too much, it weird because I think its my own mind’s way of self therapy, seeing where I came from mentally till now I kinda feel I have to, I have 11 years of catching up to do confidence wise……But i try to remain humble and remind myself that it can all be taken away so easily so just appreciate what you have, needless to say I’m trying to find a happy median, i don’t want to feel worthless and i don’t want to be a cocky bitch, lol….

I guess I wrote this to say parents always try to know whats going on in your childs life, kids have a way of showing you something is wrong even if they don’t tell you. Began building your kids confidence at a early age, tell them they are beautiful or handsome or funny, tell them you love them. Set the standard high for your kids so they know the type of people/friends they should have around  and show them the type of signifant other they should have. Dads should demonstrate to the type of man their daughter should bring home, and Moms should show their sons the type of women their sons should date.
