It’s been 16 months since I began this journey, weighing in at 192 pounds down. “Can’t” has been completely removed from my vocabulary. I am living proof that overcoming the battle of obesity can be done. Everyday I remind myself why I started this journey and why I can never go back. Emotional eating is a bitch and not putting yourself first is an even bigger bitch. It’s okay to say no and it’s okay to take care of yourself! Above all else, you cannot get discouraged! I’m not perfect by any means, I ate 5 samosas yesterday (damn Girl Scouts), and that’s okay! My point is, you have to start somewhere and when you eat the bad things, it doesn’t mean that you started for nothing. It just means you don’t eat 5 cookies tomorrow. Ha! I want nothing more than to encourage others! You can do this! I promise! #wls #wlscommunity #wlsstrong #wlsjourney #wlssupport #vsg #vsgfamily #vsgcommunity #somanyhashtags #fitness #fitnessaddict #healthy #healthyliving

Hi - i stumbled across a photo of you on Deviant Art from Scottworldwide. You and the photographer created an image that affected me deeply - I came back to it over and over (I wish I have something more profound to say other than gee - I was stunned by your photo). Thank you for doing what you do and I hope life is good to you.

Thank you very much! I sincerely hope the same for you 🖤

start learning to care for yourself if you don’t already. it’s rewarding to watch yourself grow once nurtured the right way that fits your well being!!!

Growth is such a beautiful thing. Embrace your journey and just go with the flow.

At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.

You have to stop believing that you need other people’s permission to be okay with yourself. That however you do or don’t align with what other people value determines your worth. That however the world does or doesn’t show you kindness is a direct reflection of how much you deserve it. You have to be kind to yourself. Even, and probably most especially, when it seems least deserved.
