Boundaries were never in my vocabulary. The physical boundaries were always present by having my shield covering myself in a false sense of security in order to deal with others. Once my shield disappeared, I began to feel "naked and revealed" for the first time. It was time to get out of my comfort zone, and move forward into a new place.
As a morbidly obese person, I didn't express my feelings quite often, but instead kept them to myself, where they manifested inside my body and produced self-destructive behaviors. Such as trance eating, binging, and self-soothing by self-medicating myself in order to feel good in the moment. The moments began to become more frequent and it took more eating to satisfy my addiction.
Now I'm a thin person that walks the walk and talks the talk. I am much more approachable, and not afraid to open up to others about how I feel. There's no more hiding and keeping people at a distance. I feel completely free and comfortable in my body and realize that it's okay to be open and honest. These behaviors were under lock and key for so long, it's liberating to set new boundaries that for so long I set on myself to the point I was paralyzed with fear.
There was never anything to fear. In the place of acceptance, not only to myself, but also of others, is a peaceful and soul-satisfying place to be. It's okay to be who you are, and move forward onto your self-improvement journey. Quotes are very helpful when you need reflection and peace. Quotes can give you comfort, inspiration, and motivation on your path, and the wisdom to continue on the path less traveled.
A new world awaits you and it's time to get on board! The day is here and the time is now! Go live your life and enjoy the journey! Take your joy, confidence, and strength with you as your boundaries take on a new meaning. Live! Enjoy! Love!
Be Well,
