Police can be summoned with a mere press of a button, and a purse can carry any number of self-defense items ranging from pepper spray to a whistle.

Livin' with Lupus
There I am, scars and all. I used to be really conscious of the scars. I would fret about not being perfect and about being judged. Then I realized those who judge have a lot bigger issues than lupus. Being diagnosed with lupus seemed like a death sentence in the beginning; granted, it did come with complications (the biggest of which is a platelet disorder called TTP). Both are lethal. My first thought was, "How do I get control of this thing?" Took a few years of trial and error, but the answer was patience, diligence, and a profound respect for my body. I changed every aspect of my life to do battle with this thing. The way I eat, the way I think, the way I work, I even had to change some of my friends. Yep, it's true. When you get really sick, you find out some people just can't hack it. For me, those were the "just be quiet and let the doctor run the show" people. They don't want to take anything that's not prescribed. They don't want to learn about nutrition. They don't want to lose weight. They don't want to expand their mindset. They THINK that a person has no control over what happens to them. It's always out of their hands. My take on that was, and still is, BULLSHIT!

The Truth About Being Healthy
Over the last months or so I have done five things: I decided that I'm fat. I know that 'technically' I have fat, but I feel fat. I have enough fat on places like my stomach that make me feel bad about myself. So bad that I've labeled myself 'fat'. I started following a bunch of Instagram 'health' accounts which all say a bunch of confusing things that contradict each other and use a bunch of different rules about eating healthy but I follow anyway to feel like I'm doing something right. I started trying to eat healthier. I never ate badly so to speak, but I decided that something is only healthy if there's a fruit or vegetable involved. I considered going vegan, but I also decided I love cheese too much. I tried to work out more. My job requires me to be on my feet the entirety of my nine hour shifts but that didn't feel like enough. I started doing cardio once a week and I felt jealous of my friends who had the confidence to go to the gym in the first place, let alone use any of the gym machinery. I also got jealous of those who looked good in Gymshark gym clothing - major body confidence crusher. I got a calorie counter app. I had it for three days and it was awesome and I stayed on target and it helped me feel like I was doing something good. After those three days the app told me my free trial was up and I'd have to pay for it. I deleted the app.
