Losing Yourself

You may be asking yourself what does Losing yourself mean? This is a question I have tossed around many times in my head and still I do not quite understand this thought myself but I am starting to. When you start shedding layers of weight most people take that comment as ounces, inches, pounds, etc. but you must also consider shedding layers could mean loosing heavy baggage that has been weighing on your mind and heart for years. That title could mean multiple things but I feel one thing, there is a similarity. You can lose excess weight and also lose who you are as a person as well. There are many times in this life we may feel in order to fit in with others, especially being overweight we have to please everyone. This is not the case, you have to learn to please yourself first and embrace who and what you are. Never loose who you are in order to please something or someone else. It is so easy to get caught up in the situations of this world and start going against what you believe, who believe, and what dreams you wnat to accomplish in order to make someone else happy instead of making you happy. Is it wrong to care for others? Absoluetly not but when you start caring so much about other people and other things and no longer value your own heart or opinion, then there is a problem. When you lose yourself and self value and no longer respect who you are as a person, then there is another problem. There are so many senarios to "Losing Your Self". Yes it is possible to shed unwanted pounds and extra garbage and not lose who you are as a person. You have to embrace the person you are today and know the person you want to become if you feel there are any changes to be made, but you have to be the one to change. No one can change you or fix you. So whatever avenue you are facing rather it be losing weight, remember not to loose yourself as a person in whatever you choose as a path in this life.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson
