Introduce Yourself

I want to take a quick minute and thank the many readers and subscribers to my blog. Most of you are silent ‘partners’ and that is ok! I hope that my rantings and my own struggles help you with yours! Afterall, that is why I started this blog.

What I would love to see happen is that each of you take a minute and give a quick introduction about yourself to us all. You don’t have to get personal, or you can….completely up to you.

I will start…

My name is LaDawn. I am 27. Been married for almost 9 years. I have two little girls ages 7 and 4. I have battled my weight all of my life and probably will til the day I die. I am working on my self esteem and self love. I believe that beauty is in all shapes and sizes.

Who’s next…. :)

Again, Thank you to you all!
