I Read My Diary From The Year I Won Miss Georgia: The One Decision That Helped Me Lose 37 Pounds | Part 2 Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

This is one of my most personal podcast episodes ever. This week I read my diary from 1991, which is the year I won Miss Georgia. I also read diary entries from this last year. Do you know what I realized when I read both? When I looked back over years of journaling, I realized that I have been writing the same thing over and over again. I realized that I was obsessed with the struggle to lose weight even when I was 19 and in the best shape of my life. I was putting the struggle up on a pedestal.

We've all got struggles. If your struggle is a health struggle like mine, if yours is financial, if yours is a dream you haven’t been able to accomplish, whatever you are struggling with, this episode can be a game changer for you if you decide it’s going to be. Get off the struggle bus because you have the power to decide to change your life right now. We all have the power. So let’s use our power together, y’all, and let’s level up our lives.

In this episode:

· I read journal entries from six months before becoming Miss Georgia

· How I decided to let go of my 30-year weight loss struggle

· How focusing on struggles prevents us from making change in our lives

· How to stop living in your struggle

· How to start making the positive changes you need in your life

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me and left me a review or a comment on last week’s episode. It was our most popular episode ever so buckle up because we’re just getting started talking about the power of deciding.

This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:

“There are no limits to your life except for what you put on yourself.” – Kim Gravel
