You may have notice lately I have not been posting "selfies". It is because I have put on weight. I gained 10 lbs back of what I've shed. I can tell a huge difference in my face. Although many of you support my cause and celebrate my overall weight loss, I still feel like I not only let myself down but you guys as well.
My first initial thoughts were to keep this to myself and grind out. I was going to wait until I dropped the weight to start posting pictures again, but that is not be truthful & honest. I said I was going to be more transparent with you guys, and I'm keeping my word.
Shedding pounds and transforming my life has been a real struggle for me. I have good days and not so good days. Just the other day I stood in my closet and cried calling myself fat & ugly. My roommate & mother quickly checked me. I also had a guy so rudely called me and a fellow blogger FAT! His comment quickly motivated me. His comment reminded me why I blog and go through blood sweat & tears. I share my story to encourage and uplift people, to tear down stereotypes that you have to be a certain size to enjoy working out & fitness.
As I keep pressing forward to my goals, I'm going to appreciate every step of the way. Every tear I cry & all the struggles are worth it. I must always remember the journey is just as important as the destination.
Be Blessed & stay PHAT (phenomenal humble awesome thankful)
