#weight loss story

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!

Thought I’d share with you all something I posted on my personal Instagram (@arielmermaid02)!

*What to order at Starbucks!*☕️

Do you love peppermint mochas like I do? Well I’ve perfected my perfect coffee order to get the closest thing to a peppermint mocha, without breaking the money or calorie bank. A grande size only has 60 calories, 5g net carbs, and 3g of sugar! Definitely hard to keep the sugar that low at Starbucks.

This generally costs me around $3, compared to the $4-5 a peppermint mocha would cost. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
