Today I Am Enough

 I am enough

You are enough

We are enough

Do you ever struggle to feel good about yourself? Is your life stressful and crazy and non stop chaos all the time? During the mundane hum drums of life, its so easy to get caught up in feeling 'less than.' I will admit that I get caught up during the stress of my day and feel frustrated with myself, or others, to be better. 

Last February, I was able to connect with an online friend, who I had met through a Facebook group. Her name is Kara, and she was a busy mom just like me. We had both set goals for ourselves, physically and mentally and were supporting each other through the process. Not every day was easy, and sometimes I really felt discouraged. Changing the outside of yourself most likely always changes the inside as well. At the end of our program, we both came out better people.  I knew that I needed to share my love of vegetables and nutrition with others. And Kara knew that she wanted to share the self love she found through her journey.

Kara has started a blog called Today I am Enough. On her blog she says:

Today I am Enough is here to uplift, inspire, and ultimately become a safe place where you can be reminded of your potential and your worth and of God’s love for you.  I want you to be pleased with what you’ve accomplished no matter what it was – mothering, cleaning, career, education, etc. Seeing your worth for who you are and not basing your worth on your tasks or how you look. 

The fitness industry is brutal. Social media can be tough. Weight loss groups can be all about the scale. But sometimes we need to take a stand and say no. No to images, no to unrealistic goals and yes to being happy with where we are now in our journey. If you are unhappy 40 pounds overweight, chances are losing those 40 pounds won't change that. 

Today I want to challenge you to start believing that you are enough. Right now. Wherever you are in your journey. 

Because you are amazing, strong and beautiful.
