Reblog Wednesday: I Killed My Scale (And Took Back My Life) — Everyday Magic With Jubilee

I couldn’t pass this day without sharing another great blogger and an even greater post! If I may remind you, Jubilee and I collaborated in creating Dear 15 Year Old Me Tag – if you haven’t read that, you must and if you’d like to participate – please do!

This post touched my heart and touched ‘home.’ I know this isn’t an issue women face, but something that both men and women struggle with – weight. The topic of weight, weight loss, weight gain, is a serious topic and one that needs a greater voice. As a teen I had image issues, I’m a Spanish girl and with that comes areas of my body that as a teen I refused to accept. Therefore, in return I made it my mission to do everything possible to lose weight. It was a downward spiral, vicious and dangerous. I went as far as using laxatives to lose the weight. Thankfully, this horrible routine didn’t last long. Today I’m in a better place, I remind myself that this body has incubated, nourished, and carried six healthy babies. And no, I’m no where near a size 2, but my family, my babies don’t see their mama in numbers but rather see her with love. They will love me as a size 2 or 20 all the days of my life.

Three Day Lyrical Challenge – ‘Chichi Peralta’ (Spanish) Song 2 Day 2

I was nominated for the ‘Three Day Lyrical Challenge’ by Happymess Happiness and today is day number two. I enjoy all genres of music and it’s hard to say which would be my favorite. So, in this challenge I also wanted to include a Spanish song because, well, I do speak Spanish and enjoy anything from Romeo to Juan Luis Guerra, DLG, Grupo Niche, Son By Four, Eddy Herrera, Luis Enrique, Rey Ruiz, Giro López, Hansel y Raul, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Basilos, Monchy y Alexandra, to name a few. Do you know any of these, was it nice to have gone back to the good ‘ole ‘old school’ songs, you know?! They’re my favorite!

The Rules Are Simple:

  1. Thank the person who nominated you.
  2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
  3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

The Song/Lyrics I Want To Share With You Today Is:

This song is so loving, it speaks about how love can make you feel, so unpredictable and yet also get you so tangled, so confused and trapped even when you want to get away – and can’t. It’s a kind of love that can be compared to a toxic that gives you such an effect that’s hard to let go but even then, it’s what you want and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Have you been there, have you felt this kind of love? I think it’s worth having felt this love – at least once in your lifetime. Enjoy.

Chichi Peralta – ‘Amor Narcótico’ (Spanish Lyrics)

Tu amor es algo tímido, reñido
Es algo típico
“Nada especial”
Eso dirían los demás

Tu amor es una trampa
Es una lanza que traspasa
La tranquilidad es algo loco
Nada más
Es tan imprescindible
Tan sensible que se irrita
Cuando gritas cuando quieres respirar
Tu amor es algo tímido, reñido
Es algo típico
“Nada especial”
Eso dirían los demás
Tu amor es como un tóxico
Es un efecto narcótico
Que amarra
Cuando quieres libertad
Y te quiero así
Tan satírica y fanática
Te quiero así, cuando vives
Cuando matas con o sin razón
Cuando callas cuando hablas
Cuando amas
Y te quiero así
Cuando alargas en el acto
Toda mi pasión
Cuando logras estrujarme
Con fascinación
No pretendo alejarme no quiero
Yo no puedo porque te quiero así
Así, así
Tu amor es tan apático
Tan lúcido, romántico
Y algo brutal
Es una mezcla singular
Te arrulla, te desvela
Te calienta, te congela
Desorden total es algo loco nada más
Es tan impredecible
Tan sensible que se irrita
Cuando gritas cuando quieres respirar
Tu amor es como un tóxico
Es un efecto narcótico
Que amarra
Cuando quieres libertad
Y te quiero así:
Tan satírica y fanática
Te quiero así, cuando vives
Cuando matas con o sin razón
Cuando callas cuando hablas
Cuando amas
Y te quiero así
Cuando alargas en el acto
Toda mi pasión
Cuando logras estrujarme
Con fascinación
No pretendo alejarme no quiero
Yo no puedo porque te quiero así
Así, así
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Tu amor es tímido, reñido
Es algo típico, pero así yo te quiero
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Te quiero así no tengo la culpa
No tengo motivo no tengo razón
Pero te quiero tanto, tanto tanto amor
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es una trampa, es una lanza
Que traspaza mi quietud
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Cosa de fuerza mayor que se amarra
Cuando quiero libertad
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Te quiero así no tengo la culpa
No tengo motivo no tengo razón
Pero te quiero tanto, tanto tanto amor
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Tu amor me arrulla, me desvela
Me calienta, me congela me vive me mata
Así, yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así

Chichi Peralta – ‘Try’ (Translated to English)

Try and seduce me slowly and I won’t stop to think
About all the things I’ll do to you
Try and walk like you were sea wave
And I assure you I’ll sink
Inside your swaying, forever
Maybe it’s better if you to keep your distance
Because maybe the temptation of imagining
How near… just how near I could be to you
Has taken over me and I just can’t give it up
(Chorus x3)
Try and flirt with me even more
And I won’t stop to think about what I’ll do to you
Try and become a part of me
And I assure you I’ll sink in you
Try and stop looking at me
And you will never know what you will be missing
This is a dilemma that neither you nor I
Can escape from
Woman, try
To make my heart beat faster, try to do it, woman
Woman, try it
And I assure you I’ll sink in you, try to do it, woman
Woman, try it
My heart is beating faster
Woman, try it
Because your day will come
Woman, try it
You know there’s a full moon tonight
Woman, try
To make my heart beat faster, try to do it, woman
Woman, try
To get your lips close to mine
Woman, try
To flirt with me, slowly
Woman, try
To make me fall in your arms
Woman, try it
And I assure you I’ll sink in you, try to do it, woman
Woman, try it
