I have been following a diet and I was able to lose over 40 pounds on my own. I am getting my weight down. My all time high weight was 276 pounds. I want to be healthier. I order salads for lunch. I drink a lot of water. I try to eat less but my apetite is hard to starve. I try to eat better but with the Holidays right around the corner I am making a deal with myself and not eating too much this year. I weighed myself this morning and I’m still 247 pounds. The doctor’s scale when I last checked was 243 lbs.
I always wanted to write an autobiographical children’s book.
Ayesha/me the main character and my story.
I was nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award. Thank you Stuart!
I started blogging in January of 2015. I wanted to create a writing blog and I did! My advice for new bloggers is to try not to put too much information in one blog post. Take it main idea or main point by main point, add supporting details and remember you don’t have to say it all in one post. I nominate the following blogs:
Chocolate is a good color too.
I don’t like how people discriminate against black people but whenever I think about people liking me and me being chocolate I think chocolate is the thing to be.
Racism has affected my life in certain ways but despite racism coming from certain people, I have white friends and maintain friendships with my white friends.
Myself being a proud African American allows people to see me and get to know me even if they at first prejudge me. I like having friends from all backgrounds. I have some really good friends who are white.
No hard feelings. (words of wisdom)
I don’t have a secret desire to get back at people who wrong me in the present or in the past tense. I kind of always say to myself “Nobody is perfect Ayesha not you not anyone. Everybody has their own issues they deal with that causes them to do the things they do.” Once about a month ago a man called me saying I had money in my name and it was a scam. Luckily my parents warned me not to give my information. I’m very gullible and I always get calls saying I won money or a cruise to the Caribbean. I don’t really know why but people try to scam me out of the little money I have in my name. It’s weird how many times in the past few years I have gotten phone calls saying “Is this Ayesha Karim?”
When I was a child I had no idea that I would one day become an adult. I had no concept of what adulthood was all I really understood was that I was a child.
I feel really happy with all the successes I’ve had. I feel especially happy with my life in my 30s. My 30s have been good thus far. I’ll be 38 next January 28, 2019. I love my job as a Mentor for the DREAM program. I love being a part of the DREAM team. My dream of becoming a writer is coming true too!
I don’t know how I managed to make peace with my mental illness but I did a few years ago.
It is nice to say I may have a mental illness but the illness doesn’t have me anymore. That’s progress and something I remind myself if I’m in a bad mood or have a rough day.
I was a shy quiet child who didn’t have a lot of friends.
I was a bullied little girl but I remember feeling really happy when I was skipped in 3rd grade. I was skipped twice. I was a well-behaved child too. I was a gifted child. I forgive all of the kids that didn’t like me. As an adult, I’m not popular but people do like me and I feel comfortable being me. I started feeling comfortable being me in my own skin at like age 31 and the feeling is getting better. I’ll be 38 next January. I’m looking forward to my birthday early next year. I want my life. I want to live a long prosperous well-lived life.
To my unborn child
Honey, I want you to understand that mom wants you to know it’s okay to be you. Mom wants you, loves you and will always support you no matter what happens. You are beautiful my child. Mom felt the acceptance and love of God one day when a peace washed over her at age 31 and mom so desperately wants you to feel the acceptance and love of God too as a child of the Most High.
