#transformation tuesday
I’ve been feeling a little defeated lately… Especially when I’m counting points and exercising and the scale is moving in the wrong direction so I did a before and during photo to remind myself of how far I’ve come.
I still have some weight to lose, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.
Everyone hits bumps along the way, but you just have to push through and keep your eye on your goal!

Recently, I heard my work described as shallow. It hurt a lot to hear. A. Lot. And if I’m being completely honest, I let it stop me. I had to remember though, my repeat subject as an artist. As long as I can remember being in love with people, seldom, until now, have those people been people who look like me when standing in front of a camera. I had to remember that, even if in a small way, I have been an active part in the “until now.” I had to remember how much complimenting these brothers and sisters I’ve never before met made me feel better as a person of color. When I think back on hearing that what I do might not matter so much, I choose not to forget the hurt I felt. I also choose to learn it all from scratch again.. These portraits are for me as much as they are for you, and you are not shallow. Neither am I.

We just got a transformation submission that will be posted on Tuesday :) Send them in and you will be featured on our blog (75k followers) the upcoming Tuesday! I love seeing all of your inspiring transformations :)
So this is my entry for Transformation Tuesday.
It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t fast. It took me years to reach this point and I’m nowhere near done.
There is no magic formula, no pills, no tea, not even a strict diet that can do the trick instantly. It’s all about determination and a daily desire to be better than yesterday
Amazing work denissemonkey!

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” - Socrates
I’ve come to realize that’s where I went wrong the first time around. I was so focused on changing my body because I hated it, losing as much weight as quickly as possible, and getting rid of this old person I did not like. I wanted it to stick, but I was lost and didn’t know how to find balance. This time, I’ve found that balance I never knew I needed. I’ve found an amazing support system and community, I’m creating healthy habits that stick, and I’m truly committed to making a lifestyle change. I like and know who I am now, regardless of what weight I’m at, and I want to inspire others to start their lifestyle change today. What are you waiting for?
You can follow my personal weight loss journey through my instagram and my fitblr. Happy #transformationtuesday everybody! I’d like to start featuring weight loss transformations on here every Tuesday, so please submit them to me via the submission link!
