Earlier, I posted about the author and shame expert, Brené Brown’s new book that is coming out in April. Here’s another link in case you missed it:

I was perusing more of her website, when I noticed these pretty little badges over at the left side of her page:

So I clicked on the “I Choose Authenticity” badge to find out more. Please click on it above to see what I read.

On this site, I’ve decided that “I Choose Authenticity.” It’s hard to bare your soul on the page (er, screen) for others to read and possibly judge. It’s difficult to do for strangers, and sometimes even more so when you know that people from your “real life” are also reading. As I lost the greatest portion of my weight and grew to know people through the Weight Watchers message boards and through this blog, I’ve felt myself become more open about some things. Others are still a struggle. But it is through that struggle that we learn that we are not alone. It is through that struggle that we learn to be and love who we are. Not who we think we should be.

So I choose authenticity and choose to live and love with my wholeheart. Again, to find out just what that means and maybe join her movement, please click on the pictures above.
