Back to the future...

December 21 Prompt: Future self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?)


Dear Doll 2005/6,
Well well well.. how those 5 years have flown by and look at you now! You HAVE done it... you lost all the baggage... all the nightmares... all the saboteurs... and all that weight... You are healthy now.. in control of your health... what an amazing person you are! My one piece of you advice for you for 2011 is BELIEVE! in YOU! How funny, intelligent and capable you really are! Don't forget that! Don't let your confidence dwindle... remember at the end of 2010.. how you were just getting on your feet? Remember how your in-laws walked all over you... remember how you let them??? STAY strong... you're a better person than them... a good person... who is loved and gives love... Don't let food rule your emotions.... you know it doesn't work! it only makes you MORE miserable... never fall back into the trap of thinking you're not good enough... YOU ROCK! Now get out there and show the world YOU! They can't wait!

I love you... you should love you too!
Doll


Dear Doll 2001,
Well its 2011.. and you are about to embark on a magnificent journey... its been a struggle to get here... its been a tough road... you'll be surprised at how you have let people treat you.... and certain people have stood firmly in your way and tried to make you feel like you're not worthy of anything in this world... don't worry by the time you get here you will have dealt with them.. and for good.. and your man has stood beside you all the way... he adores you.. you will come to realise just how lucky you really are.. and to be the best wife you can be you're now taking control of your health... he's made it clear if he lost you his world would fall apart... don't let that happen! You're on a roll going through this new year and you're starting to see the Doll who had confidence, who laughed, who wasn't afraid come back... and I think right now you're secretly LOVIN' it! LOL .. Ride the waves through to get here.. and learn the lessons... be kind to mum and dad .. they're on your side...
Keep smiling... its all good!
