What other people think of me is none of my business. I've been a big girl my whole life, and at one point, I became obsessed with weight loss. And I lost over 100 pounds. I was in the gym 24-7. And it was never enough. But making sure I keep people in my life that want to see me stay sober and will support that venue of life. I mean, if anybody has picked up my book on Amazon called Holding It Down, they'll see that when I chose to move here, I packed my Kia Soul with a few items and just started to drive. I had no job lined up, really no housing lined up, nothing. And, I mean, Saturday technically is one year that I've been in Florida. And I've somehow, someway, by the grace of God or higher power or Allah or universe, Like I've been, I've survived, thankfully.
