The Cocoon

You are probably thinking, “Ok here is another girl who is overweight. She is trying to loose weight and is going to blog about being fat so that she can meet her goal.” Well a little over a yr. ago I did start working on loosing weight. However, today I am beginning more than just trying to hit my goal weight. I am going to find my TRUE self. I don’t even know if we ever really find out who we are, or if that is what life is always learning new things about ourselves. In my mind I see a butterfly. It is beautiful, elegant, graceful, and catches peoples eye. In the mirror I see a chunky lumpy cocoon that is hiding that butterfly. I want to look in the mirror and smile. At first it was all about my appearance and the size of clothes I wear. Now, it is still about loosing weight and looking good but more importantly it is about discovering myself and who I am.
