I love many things. My family. Music. Writing. Reading. Computers. And beauty. The thing tying these loves together is... me. I'm Tori. A 36 year old woman who is working on herself, both inside and out.
People say it's the inside that matters, and most of the time, I'd agree. But I'm at a point in my life where I need to change the outside as well. So I'm going on a journey. Some of it will be silly - beauty tips, favorite nail polish, my hair. Some will be serious.
I'm an overweight woman. And I need to change that. Not because being overweight is necessarily evil, or bad, or because I'm trying to conform to a societal norm. No, I need to change because I have several illnesses that are being exacerbated by my weight. They include the relatively rare genetic disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, as well as fibromyalgia.
I need to lose over 100 lbs. That seems like a lot, but it's what needs to be done to be healthy. And that's what I want. To make myself healthy, and happy, and around for a long time.
So, signing off, here's your little short and stout blogger girl,
Tori
