YOYO (You're On You're Own)

-

    Alright, so I wanted to start off by apologizing for this long post/rant, but I wanted to share some REAL TALK here!

I won’t even lie try to lie, I had been putting myself on the back burner. I completely stopped focusing on my health & fitness. I picked up all those bad habits that I had dropped. I went right back into the yoyo dieting routine. Only this time, I went up to the heaviest I've ever been. I'm pretty sure so many of you have gone or are going through that yoyo dieting journey. That rollercoaster ride where you stick to your goals for a while & see such awesome results and then hit a bump in the road and fall right back into eating ALL the junk and/or skipping ALL the workouts. Honestly, the reasoning for the fluctuation is different for everyone. This time, for me, it started with family health issues; then it was my own health issues. However, when my mom recovered from her stroke and my back issues healed it really just came down to me just giving up on myself. I mean...there was no other excuses I could hide behind. I just quit. BUT, I'm back now though! I am diving right back in. Relying not only on myself but a group of strong women all dedicated to making these positive changes in their lives and ready to motivate & be motivated! If you are ready to take back control I want you do it with us! We are stronger together and always remember YOU ARE NOT ON YOUR OWN! Leave me a comment so we can take this journey TOGETHER!

Life isn't all cupcakes, butterflies, and unicorns after all.  I try to stay positive each day. I try to continuously go-go-go. I try to smush down emotions and insecurities and anxiety and all the other scary things that you don't typically want to show. Pretending and making my way day by day with a forced smile at times. Because when people ask, "How are you doing?", most don't really want to know the ugly parts. "How are you doing" is typically just a formality. So, "I'm doing good!" I can just keep pretending both for others and for myself. Because it's so much easier to hide than to show the raw reality of what actually is.  I have been struggling with my anxiety again. Those that struggle with anxiety or any other mental health issues know that it's a j...

TRANSFORMATION!!!! Check out that photo down below! That girl on the left had absolutely 0 confidence. I was constantly trying to hide myself. There was a point in my life that I literally would intentionally pick neutral toned clothing with no print/patterns because I did NOT want to stand out or be seen. That girl on the right has grown soooo much it is unbelievable. I have been through a lot. Growth is never linear. To think, though, where I am at now blows my mind. I have gained immense confidence. Freak crop tops....I'm wearing em! 😆. I have learned to love myself throughout my journey; because you are a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. Embrace your beauty and the journey towards becoming a better you everyday. 😊 If you're interested I would freakin LOOOVE to link arms and take this journey with you!!!
