My weigh/measure updates have been a little MIA as of late.. but I have a good explanation!
I have poked a hole in my tongue!
Even as I sit here with a piece of metal in my mouth, I too, question my motives for doing this… random act of rebellion.. my brain did nothing to stop the needle from going into my tongue region… and as I laid on the piercing table, adrenaline pumping through my system.. mind blanking out… I realized one thing… I defeated a fear. I did it, and that was all I wanted to prove.
My life has been a series of battles… battles within myself, battles among people, battles within family… and at the end of the day, the most important thing I walk away with.. is that I have something to prove.
My husband will always tell me that I don’t need to prove myself to anyone… the thing is, I”m not proving anything to anyone… I’m merely proving to myself that I can rise above the expectations that people have of me.
So, when I walk out of a piercing studio with a stud in my tongue and a smile on my face, it’s because I have proven to myself that I can step outside my limit.
… however, on a crappy note… the day after I got my new piercing, I acquired a really terrible cold and was sick for a week after the piercing. Needless to say, I lost a bit of weight being unable to to eat and unable to function, but this is unhealthy weightloss and being that it is Canadian thanksgiving.. a weigh in would not be a very nice thing right now.
that said, I’m feeling really good about getting back into the swing of things after this 1 week break and look forward to keeping the universe updated on this journey
