You are your own worst enemy.
Today has been a constant struggle with myself.
My feelings.
My goals.
My life.
But it was just a day.
It’s not the end of everything.
Gonna rise back up tomorrow.

I have struggled day in and day out with my weight and body image. How I feel about myself for years.
How other people feel about how I look especially
I have picked and picked and torn myself apart.
I did one yo yo diet after another, I fought eating disorder and recovery time and time again.
My body has been through a lot
And while rarely will anyone say to my face that I gained an excessive amount of weight over the summer☀️from lack of training‍♀️, lack of nutrition, lack of bothering at all to take care of myself
Pictures do not lie
So upon moving to Colorado❄️ I made a firm plan that if I was going to help other people get healthy I had to make myself a priority as well.
I used the products I love the way they are intended to enhance and jumpstart my weight loss⬇️so I could get back to feeling good both inside and out✅
That helped me have energy to go to the gym
It made me make better food choices
I started drinking more water again.
So going into 2018 I weigh less than I ever did since late 2015 and that’s huge for me
I am still self conscious of how I look and how close fit or don’t fit me
And I will never been some petite little waif of a girl, because I have tree trunk legs and pizza is still a thing. But I have at least made a lot of progress to be proud of

Progress is slow but steady
I stopped focusing so much on the scale number because I hit some big for me goals✅
I fit in Justin’s pants, which if you missed my early season breakdown about being so much bigger than my boyfriend this is a big thing.
I was able to buy single digit size pants for the first time honestly ever.
I don’t feel so uncomfortable with my body.
I haven’t stuck to a real diet much, i work out when I can.
Honestly it’s a lot of Keto coffee☕️, greens and Thermofit and some wraps.
I’m not trying to get fit just for Summer☀️, I am trying to be fit for life

Finally got my own hoop at home. Of course it’s 90 degrees and I’m sweating all over it but I love it and I’m lucky enough to have this tree on my property
