The Challenges We Face.

What are the challenges you face everyday with your osteoporosis? That is my question to you. Let me tell you a little about mine. The challenges I face everyday is trying not to lift something to heavy, or bending over the incorrect way. Having to deal with back pain most days, do I let this get me down….NO! I truly believe that if I was to let this get to me, I would not be here today or I would have not started this blog. As I watched the video that Valerie Bertinelli posted on Facebook where someone told her she needn’t to lose weight, I began to think. How can people have the gall to say that? Do they know what her challenges are everyday, or what she is going through? No they don’t, when I listened to that I remember someone asking me once “why don’t you stand up straight, did you know your spine looks curved?” I remember thinking how much I wanted not to have that small curvature in my spine, how I wish I wouldn’t have lost some inches in my height. That comment made me feel so much more insecure about how I looked to some people. How they had no clue why there was the curvature in my spine. So you see, people sometimes have no idea what you might have to deal with everyday. Always remember, no matter how your body might change as you get older, you are still beautiful!

Have a wonderful day, you are beautiful!
