I put these up to remind myself of the constant battle I have within myself to feel comfortable in my skin. I have always been the "big girl". I have always been the one that can't find my size while shopping because I am a funny size. And I have always been the one that wanted to be the skinny girl.
I have always been that girl that fluctuates in my weight and wants nothing more than just to feel comfortable. I have had one point in my life that I can look at and say I was actually skinny, (2009). This was due to a ton of running, 4/5 miles per day, being very active and not really slowing down ever, and a very unhealthy relationship in which my boyfriend at the time constantly watched what I ate and what I was doing to workout everytday. This resulted in my weight dropping to an all time low of 155 lbs. The picture above in 2009 was taken and shortly after, I believe about 1 month, I became pregnant with my son. This caused my weight to sky rocket putting on 80 lbs. To this day I have not lost all those 80 lbs. plus the ones I picked up since then topping my weight at an all time high of 250 lbs.
Being miserable and more depressed than ever in my life I decided to set goals and do something about the weight. So in 2013 I have vowed to myself to change my eating habits and excercise more including running 5Ks, at least 2 per month starting at the end of February. I began with trying the Advocare 24 day challenge and while it hasn't been easy, I have definately given it my all and after 14 days I have already lost 12 lbs. I have 10 days left on my challenge and then the real work starts because I can go back to eating whatever I want but hoping to have the will power not to.
The pictures above are some from the very long ago past and some from the more recent past but these are what motivate me to keep going, because my over all goal is to be back down to 155 lbs. I fight this battle just like millions of people do everyday but I am choosing to fight it and win. Feel free to follow along with me on my way to becoming the new, skinny me that runs 5K races and gets my life back!
