May 12, 2015 ~ Candice Jenee' ~ 6 Comments

I have experienced a lot of rejection in my life... And, I'm not just talking about from guys, although, that has been a lot of it. Schools, jobs, friends, even fellow Christians. And, it sucks.

So Excited to announce that I am only 1 lb away from my 1st mini goal. Once that goal is hit, that will be about 6.5 lbs down since I "started" in December.
