Inspiration from Annie Dykstra:
"Total transparency post.🙈 and LONG.😜 Today marks 3 years on the start of my weight loss journey! I'm not sure I remember much of that girl in the first picture. I do remember her being tired. Tired of being overweight, tired of "fat" comments, tired of carrying around an extra 160 pounds, tired of excuses, tired of looking in the mirror everyday and hating herself, just plain tired. I have no idea what happened but one day I woke up and wanted to change. My change started with a 24 day challenge and during those 24 days, I started to see a difference, and the rest is history! Fast forward 3 years to today, 160 pounds GONE. If you think for a second it's been easy and I've been perfect for 3 years, YOU ARE WRONG! It's been hard, I've cried, I've been obsessed with the scale, I've had days when I've eaten horrible, days when I haven't worked out, and days when I look in the mirror and criticized everything I've worked for. I still struggle with people's opinions. Like right now, a picture of me in a swimsuit, worrying about what people will think. Will they think I'm too thin? Too fat? And once I hit post, I'm allowing people to give their opinions and I can't get upset if I don't like them! My sister said to me last night, "you are willing to post a picture at your heaviest in a sports bra, but scared to post a picture in your bikini?!" Yup. Crazy, I know!😬 But I come back to reality and remember, I could be the juiciest peach in the world, and someone wouldn't like peaches. It's life. Someone is always going to have something to say, and I'm learning to brush it off. I've worked hard on me, I'm not trying to lose weight now, I'm working on gaining muscle! I'm at a new place in this journey but one thing remains, I'm stilling working on myself, everyday. The most important lesson through all this is, I've learned to love myself.❤️I've been at rock bottom, not just with my weight, but life in general, and at 30 years old, I'm finally living life, not just surviving!
