Day 2

Day 2 - What are some reasons why your body image may be so important to you? What role does your body image play in your life? What factors have contributed to your negative body image?

I have lost a lot of weight in the last year after having my son, I weigh less than I weighed before he was born! I'm a couple lbs smaller than my high school weight! It's pretty crazy! I'm lucky I guess except I want to gain 10 lbs as soon as possible. I think I am an unattractive weight. I hate being skinny. So, here I am doing a body image challenge to start making some changes and healthy ones if any! I have always been skinny and never had a problem with my weight. I'm trying to gain a little weight to feel sexy again. I enjoyed my curves when I was pregnant and would like to feel that confidence again! I have had a hard stressful year which played a lot in my over all well being and I am working towards an over all balance and seeking nothing but over all health! ❤

Day 5

Day Five: One wish you have/One thing you would change about your life.

One wish I have- is to finish school and to own a salon/boutique. I've always loved doing hair and make-up since I was very little. (My mom tells me I use to use her make-up to beautify my teddy bears!) And my new love, nails! 💅 Also, I LOVE fashion and they obviously go hand in hand!

One thing I would change about my life- is that I have let this last year pass me by, by being so caught up in what others think about me. That if I could change one thing about my life it would be my self confidence! I have let other peoples opinions about me change my self worth! I have let people that are not significant in my life take that away from me. And now I am breaking free from this downward spiral. Because, I am worth it!

Day 4

Day Four: Describe two of your favorite memories.

1) The moment my husband and I got back together after our last and final breakup as boyfriend and girlfriend. He held me so tight as I sobbed in his arms. I will never forget that moment! We have been thru a lot but I wouldn't change a thing! He is my best friend! My lover!

2) The first time I saw my newborn son Saxon Paul Park he was in the NICU after I had him via c-section after 12 hours of being in labor. I wouldn't dilate past a 3 even after I was induced. The first thing I noticed when I woke up in the middle of the night after a day of making the boys go costume shopping was some slight spotting which freaked me out since I miscarried before I had Saxon. I called my doctor and he said to try and wait it out until morning. Since I was so worried and scared I got in the shower so I wouldn't keep waking up my husband and that's when my water broke! I yelled for Shawn and he came stumbling in. We weren't ready as I had planned on packing my hospital bag that following weekend. I was kinda freaking out because my contractions started immediately after my water broke. I remember being so scared on the drive to the hospital because I was 5 weeks early! I was so tired and ready for him by that time but I wasn't ready for him to come that early! I had an amazing doctor though, Steven Thackeray, and my scar didn't even ruin my tattoo! :) Grateful for my little man! What a blessing!

5 Day Challenge

:)
Day One: Five random facts about yourself.

1) I was ejected from the car in an accident when I was a baby and landed in the intersection and all I got was a little road rash on my elbow.

2) I saved someone's life by driving them to the hospital after they were shot in their chest 5 times!

3) I was stage 3 cervical cancer and since surgery I haven't had a sign of cancer! I got pregnant shortly after and we had an abortion, thinking we weren't ready. Something I regret more than anything! Then we miscarried prior to Saxon, and he was born premature 5 weeks early because my placenta ruptured. He was delivered emergency c-section. Since he was born I've had my period 4 times and he's 15 months old. I am currently trying to gain some weight to hopefully regulate things again since the medication my doctor gave me didn't fix it.

4) I use to play the violin in Jr. High, I was really good at it and loved playing but I wasn't good at reading music. I just knew the finger placements for each note, I could never tell you what note it was that I was playing!

5) I danced in the Nutcracker when I was little. I love dance... you name it! I did it! I can't wait to have a little girl to do the same with!
