I’ve been seeing it more and more lately, girls who previously lost a lot of weight and gained some/all back. I’m not here to shame or guilt anyone. I’ve gained 30 pounds of the 70 I lost. But is that all we are here for? To lose weight? To become smaller? No. You are not your weight. You are your memories, your laugh, your goals, your ambition, your friends, your family, the books you read, your favourite movies, the things you cherish and love. Loving yourself and having a healthy mind is so much more important than some number on the scale and beating yourself up about it. Changing my life and mindset has been the best thing that has happened to me, choosing my health has been the best decision I could have made for myself. Losing weight has been great for me mentally and physically, and I plan on losing a few more pounds for my health but more importantly I’ve gained so much more in my life then just losing weight. I got my life back. I got my high school education, got accepted to college, got on the honour roll, made my mom proud, got a job, overcame so many fears and obstacles. I quit high school because my anxiety and depression got so bad I couldn’t physically walk through the doors and I didn’t have a voice. Timid, shy, afraid. I have met so many amazing and beautiful people since starting college and can’t wait to continue meeting amazing positive people and I could never imagine me thinking that way before. Big deal I’ve gained weight, I’ve gained so much more in the process. #lifeisntlinear #progress #grind #mentalhealth #mentalillness #loveyourself #healthymind #healthyliving #beforeandafter #weightgain
