Anyone else over summer & ready for fall? This super comfortable Old Navy number was my first

shoot with Megan and even though it was early, it was so damn hot! I need this denim jacket to hid my arms, but damn, I think I lost like 10 lbs from sweating. Well, I really wish I had lost 10 lbs though. Before I started this shoot, I was so depressed about how I can't get my weight in check or to where I want it to be. I've hit that wall of I'm so exhausted from work & life, that I just don't care. I needed that pick me up, that sign to motivate me to not give up. And I'm not going to lie, not even seeing my naked self has helped motivate me. I just ignored the mirror.  So imagine my surprise when we walked down the side street in Downton Plano to find some where to shoot & we saw this one little area that had motivational quotes on the walls.  Believe you can and you're halfway there.  Seeing these photos again & I'm getting motivated all over again.  I think the hardest part is believing that you can do it. And you know what? I can do it! I can get myself to that happy place & so can you! We all need to remember to tell those voices in the back of our heads to F**k off cause we got this! I got this! You got this!

I hope everyone has a beautiful & inspirational week!
