My Relationship With Food

 Over the past 4 to 5 months, I've come to realize I have always had a GARBAGE relationship with food. It's like a bad, no good, toxic relationship that's followed me my entire life. I can't seem to get rid of this toxic relationship because it's me. I'm the toxic one with food.  My choices and bad relationship with food stems from anxiety and the need to control because I feel like I have no control. So food becomes my coping mechanism. Mentally feel bad?  Well, I'll eat bad to combat my mind, so in the end I feel even worse, AND that means my weight fluctuates.  I struggle to change. Change is hard for me EVEN WHEN I KNOW it's going to be a good change. I hope to change my habits little by little. Work on my anxiety and overcome my eating habits that don't benefit me in a good way. I genuinely DON'T want to live this way; I just don't know how to change by myself. For myself. And not feel so overwhelmed.  I chose to share this because I...

Why It's Important To Be Nice

In the world we live in now, it is filled with people who are looking for immediate gratification, self-centered humans, and people who throw tantrums over the silliest things. The tantrums, the yelling, the rude, belittling, and condescending comments are doing worse for the world and the people around us than you, as a customer think. Why you ask? Because you, the customer, do NOT know what others are going through just like I do NOT know what you are going through. I am in NO way perfect when it comes to being nice ALL the time, however, I try my hardest every day to be nice because I know that what someone is going through just might be a lot worse than I can comprehend.  As a dog groomer, I appreciate every single nice person. Since I have become a groomer, I have realized that it is SUCH a hard job to do. For a lot (obviously not all) of pet groomers, it is the stress of doing so many dogs, meeting quota/ a bottom line. For me, the stress of grooming are the cust...

Family (and Dogs) Matter

Image
Yes, a family does matter!  Family can be defined as literal blood relatives and family. It can be friends, significant others, and honestly, our pets can be our own family! Some of us are not as fortunate as others to have all of that. I feel extremely blessed, and will never deny the fact that I have the best wonderful influences, family members, and pets in the world (don't take offense, I am sure you think that of your family/ friends/ pets). I often get asked in one shape or form when my love of animals really took off, and if my family is just as obsessed as I am. I would say that there IS a love of animals in my family, I just knew from as long as I can remember that I would be working with them in one form or another. I don't know if anyone, in particular, had that obsession like I did.  I was convinced that I'd be a zookeeper, a veterinarian, or a caretaker in some form. I am now a dog groomer. I consider every dog, cat, or any other animal I groom as l...
