Weight Loss Journey

thebody-project:

Sorry for all the progress photos. This is April 9 vs. May 4, a 25 day difference.

Who says you need proper clothes for yoga? Or the perfect body? I wore this sexy outfit for 40 minutes of yoga, and ouch! It kicks my butt every time. A little nervous about exposing my belly and tummy roll, but I’ve lost 86 freaking pounds, gained a wee bit too much confidence, and am getting it done everyday. It’s now or never, guys. #getitdone #dontgiveup

live-life-style-accordingly:

I beat Anorexia and Bulimia; impossible is no longer in my vocabulary.

It never gets easier if you always challenge yourself, if you’re constantly pushing yourself a step further than you thought you were capable of. But you will get stronger, and you will realize that there is an athlete inside of you, waiting to fight.

My girl Jess killin it!!

shrinkingbeauty:

Before weight: 254
After: 178, but I tend to fluctuate between 185-170.
I have struggled to be everything everyone wants of me. Being 5’7 and my starting weight being 254 lbs, with determination and a burning desire to turn my life around, I slowly became the shrinking beauty:) However, my journey was NOT peaceful at all. (and for all of you starting, giving up, ending, or in the process of your adventure, there will be bumps…) I had to be more stronger than the others. Being the fat sister in the bunch was the worst feeling I never want to experience ever again! The people around me would always say things like “Just lay off the food” or ”You guys were all skinny to start off with, so what happened to you” or straight up “your FAT.” They never understood that food was my sanctuary. Something that just happened to be in my mouth when I felt sad or depressed. I never stopped to think if this was what I really wanted…at the time all I thought was ” this is right now, and I feel like shit.” Living in that horrible cycle, one day I just shunned everyone and just gave myself an introspection. I didn’t want this life anymore. I was starting believe everyone when they said I was obsessed with food, and I didn’t want that. I ran downstairs to my kitchen and bagged up all the junk food I could find and gave it all to the first homeless person I saw (food was still food, and i didn’t want to waste it ;p) Honestly, that day had to be one of my best days. It was the day I decided to start my life. I started out with just NO JUNK FOOD an of course, exercise:3. Then moved to being a pescetarian (a diet consisting of fruits, veggies, healthy carbs, and seafood) Once I had enough of that diet, I slowly transitioned to be an ovotarian-vegetarian (a diet consisting of what a regular vegetarian would eat plus eggs:D) There were times when I fell into bad fast fad diets, but I promise I got myself out of there as fast as I realized I was only hurting myself and wasn’t the way to be a happier me! With love and support from the few people that had my back, I thrived in being the person that stands before you today at 178 lbs. Strong, beautiful, and still fighting for my healthiest and most fit ideal body!:] FOR ALL MY STRONG TUMBLRS OUT THERE, DO NOT GIVE UP! NO ONE HAS ANY RIGHT TO TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE. AND IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPIER, SCREW ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE NEED TO BASH ON OTHERS! YOU WILL FALL, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG AND GET BACK UP!:] I will always be here for the support. <3
