This is a different kind of #transformationtuesday for me. The picture on the left was taken by the @bostonglobe about a month after I leaned over that same wall, screaming on the phone to 911 while I watched the life extinguished from a girl whom I considered to be my closest and dearest friend. The picture on the right was taken today. I could give you the typical Transformation Tuesday #stats – on the left I weighed 220 pounds and wore a size 14/16. Today I weigh #137pounds and wear a size 0/2. That’s #83poundslost between the two photos.
But this transformation is different. This is about finding self worth, as a woman, as a mom, as a grieving friend, as a trauma survivor. This is about understanding that it is ok to own all of those titles and still be the best version of myself possible. This is about understanding that #grieving is a process without a destination. This is about my experiences making me a better, kinder, less judgemental person, a lesson my beautiful friend #jennifermartel taught me both in life and in death. This is about being healthy and happy for my amazing son. This is about realizing that there are people who love me for who I am and that that is enough. This is about all those beautiful, patient people who have been there for me, who have stuck by me, stood up for me, and given me opportunities over the past #threeyears – this is my #fightsong my #transformation and it is never truly over. I hope maybe it inspires you a little bit because I know that in all of this my #igcommunity continually #inspiresme and so I thought I would take the opportunity to share a little bit in return#summerbodygameon
