Alright, y'all. The nerves are real for me right now. I still struggle with the picture on the left.
This morning I woke up and weighed in and am now officially down 100 pounds. It has been a hell of a journey, but worth it every step of the way. For the first time in my life, I have stuck with a New Year’s resolution all the way through August. So far, in 2015, I have gotten my health back under control in almost every sense of the word: body, mind, and spirit. There have definitely been bumps in the road where I have felt myself slipping back towards old habits, but I have pictures like this where I can see how unhappy I once was and be reminded of how far I have come.
God has truly blessed me, and I realized how important it was to take care of, and appreciate, the body he has given me. I always exercised my mind but it was time I did something about my body. It wasn’t just about how I looked, but how I felt, and how each day I knew I was slowly killing myself. As the actual weight came off, so has the emotional weight.
I am so content with where I am in life right now. I’m excited about where the future is headed. Anyone can make the decision to turn their life around even from the pits of depression. If you are struggling, find someone to reach out to.
I think it’s crucial that we share the highs and lows of our journeys because you never know who may hear your testimony and realize they aren’t alone and find encouragement in your struggles.
My body is not perfect by any means. I still have stretch marks, which I am 100% fine with. I earned those. They are my battle scars and reminders of the war I have fought within myself. I mean it when I say you should love yourself at every step of your journey, but continue to always improve yourself whatever that may mean to you.
Lastly, if you are in a similar situation as I was and would like to talk, you know where to find me. 😊#Weightloss #ProgressPic #EffYourBeautyStandards #Fitness #WeightlossJourney #NoFilter
