Name Change

In case you haven’t noticed, my name has changed on all platforms from @fatskinny.girl to @theterrilowe.

I have often asked myself what the meaning of a name is. In its most simplest form, a name is a combination of sounds, but as humans we have added meaning to these sounds, so that the sounds we are creating when we are addressing someone or something are understood by those we are speaking to.

I have put much thought into my name and I decided that Fat Skinny Girl did not represent me anymore. I do not strive to be fat or skinny. To me these are just words and they are words that have been and continue to be used to put people down. I would not use these words to describe another person so why would I use them to describe myself!

I have grown since the beginning of my journey and continue to grow every day and my growth cannot be constrained and defined by the words fat and skinny, the only thing I can attribute my success and my growth to is me, so I thought it was only fitting that I portrayed that through my usernames.

I am so thankful for everyone who has come along on this journey with me. I am thankful for the people who have been there from the beginning, the people who just joined me today and everyone in between. Thank you for encouraging me and reminding me to always keep going. Here’s to a new chapter in my life… @theterrilowe.
