Today is my Birthday!
Hey, Happy Birthday! I know that you have been worried about gaining weight - but instead of focusing on the negatives (which I know is really tempting sometimes), focus on the amazing positives that have happened to you over this past year. You have lost a bucketful of weight, girl! That is AWESOME! So, you have seen a few pounds come back... we are all human, and the body is not some sort of rigid machine. It ebbs and flows, just like life. It will ebb again for you, I am sure. It's your birthday - celebrate yourself! We all give you permission...
