The Music Inside YOU

The definition of hell is the 'you' that might have been, meeting the 'you' that is...

One day I woke up and realized I was a girl.
Now that you've stopped laughing, let me explain. I always knew I was a girl, but one day I looked in the mirror and saw a feminine, slender, sexy person staring back at me. This person didn't want to wear baggy sweaters; she didn't want to go out without makeup; she didn't like the short, gnawed fingernails or clunky walk.

Things I Have Learned in My First Year of Low Carbing
Submitted by Emelia on Tue, 11/26/2002 - 06:00.
1. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Being hydrated not only helps me lose weight, it makes me healthier.
2. There is such a thing as too much food -- and the nice thing about LCing is that I naturally decrease the amount of food I need because I learned what it's like to be full.
3. I have a food addiction -- and that addiction led me, for years, to feeding my problems and covering up stress, sadness, grief, and anger with my fat.
3a. There's no sense breaking one addiction and just replacing it with another -- which means the recovery process can get ugly.

Who are you? Have you ever really thought about it? This query goes beyond name or employee description. I want to know; how do you define yourself? I have found that when I am involved with something that is very important or dear to me, I tend to implement that thing as part of my personality — who I am.
"My name is Summer. I am a wife and mother — a homeschooling mom — I am a writer, a Historian, a kickboxer. I am a low-carber."
