Wife, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, coworker, mentor, student. I believe in unconditional love, positivity & in being a good person. I can find something positive in almost anything. I am happy studious & fun - I think I've always been that way. I struggle with an all or nothing mentality though and I've battled my weight since my 20’s. I'm insecure about my whole outer body - I don't think it is a reflection of the woman I really am. My weight struggle has brought me a lot of heartache & I fight it every single minute of the day. I had some success a few years back with a dramatic loss of 105 lbs but it has slowly crept back. I often feel defined by it - It is the first impression I present no matter what's on the inside. Despite that, I know I have a lot of worth! I'm a great person and an asset to this universe. I've dealt with a lot of rejection in my life but I'm over it. No time for that! I'll do me and they do them! I love my heart. It holds a LOT of love! I tend to compare myself to what I was when I was a fitness fiend. Why can't I do what I used to? Why have I failed? But my new story is that I can be everything I want to be for myself. I don't have to be the leanest and I don't have to have constant validation from the outside. I need the validation from the inside. Success to me is feeling happy. Happiness comes through honesty, positivity, compassion & travel! I feel most alive when traveling - I love the adventure and the idea of seeing things I've never seen. I wish women were better to themselves, myself included. We need to take a deep breath and appreciate who we are in this moment. Beauty is radiance - what you radiate is your beauty. I'm proud of all I have achieved in my life! I made it through Pharmacy school while going through a bad relationship, divorce, and another bad relationship. I've achieved an amazing goal of losing weight and doing a fitness competition! I've met and married the absolute love of my life & I have an amazing job that challenges me. I'm overcoming some obstacles and becoming better and better. I feel pretty darn proud of myself. I am Jennifer and I love to live this beautiful life.
