Hello everyone & happy last day of 2011!
I'm not a big 'New Year's Resolution' maker, but upon looking at last year's post on this day I did happen to make one that I had completely forgot about. At this time last year I was suffering terribly from my OCD. It was taking my life over. I couldn't eat, I could sleep, I didn't want to go to school, or do anything at frankly. I felt so helpless and defeated and didn't know where to turn to. Last year I made the resoltion to overcome my OCD, and you all know what? I did.

I'm so proud of myself and how far I've come in just a year. Yes, I did have to resort to medicine to help beat OCD, but that doesn't mean I didn't have to fight it on my own either. I truly never though that I'd be able to get away from all that I was suffering, but I proved myself wrong. And I couldn't be happier.

So this year what's my resolution? Hmm it's a tough one. I always feel like when I make resolutions I set myself up too high, and then get disappointed when I can't succeed. I know I want to try and eat healthier and exercise more this year because 2011 was a rough year for me regarding body image, but I'm afraid of letting myself down if I can't. So I suppose I'll make an unofficial New Year's Resolution. To have a healthy and happy year. To make 2012 the best year yet

Love you all and have a beautiful New Year's...
With much love, Lauren.

Your hair looks so beautiful like this! I love your classic jewellery too. I've always wanted to attempt velvet... something and this is the perfect nudge! That dress is gorgeous on you.
Thank you so much for replying to my email, I sort of wish we were besties in real life! Hehe ♥ It's so amazing that you have overcome your OCD... an incredibly hard thing to do. Your blog is definitely one of my favourites and I love reading your posts and being inspired by your gorgeous outfits.

Haha, that's a wonderful resolution:) I absolutely LOVE your hair, how on Earth did you get it to do that wrap around thing, while looking flawless? And the outfit is to die for too, perfect for New Years':) I'm so incredibly proud of you Lauren, I know how hard it is to overcome obstacles, but to overcome OCD is unimaginable! Happy New Year!

Kezzie said...

Your braid headband looks so much nicer on you than mine does on me- I think it's the fringe that helps! You look very cute in these pictures- I really like that velvet dress!!!
I think that's good to have one general resolution like that!

None said...

That's an adorable outfit, and I like your shoes. Congratulations on keeping your resolution so well! I started making New Year's resolutions about 10 years ago, usually small ones but to my surprise they do help me achieve goals.

Hello lauren!

I'm very proud of you for overcoming OCD. I know how big of an accomplishment that is because I suffer from OCD as well. Last summer was one of the wrost times of my life. My anxiety was taking control of me and everytime I left my home, I would have a panic attack. I hope the for the best for you in the upcoming year. Happy New year!

I tried for a year on my own to overcome anxiety and subsequent depression. I finally tried medication and it took the edge off so I could work through the depression and anxiety. I don't doubt for a second you worked super hard to overcome your OCD! Medication is not some magic pill that fixes everything, it just helps rebalance brain chemistry...the rest is up to us! : )

First οff I want to saу fantaѕtic blog!
I had a quiсk questіоn thаt І'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thank you!
