I'm ready to own this.

On June 10, 2012, I purchased a gym membership and made a commitment to live a healthier life. I gave up fast food (which I ate more often than I realized) and decided to take on the challenge of clean eating. Since then, I have only lost 10 lbs, but I am proud of my loss. It may not be a lot of weight loss for one year, but I would be lying if I said that I never fell off the wagon at any point.

For a long time I was afraid of embracing fitness as a hobby and passion. I felt like people would laugh that off coming from a chubby chick. (I was 146 lbs at my most, and I'm only 4'11". I'm currently in the 120's.) But I have come to realize that this feeling is only a sign of my own insecurity and that I can be that fit girl if I let myself truly take on this hobby!

I'm starting to love working out and I am feeling excited about it. I still have weight to lose, but it will happen. There is no reason why I can't be a fit chick one day. I have come to realize that I have to only care about what I think, and OWN this as my mission, lifestyle, and pursuit of happiness.

Have confidence that you can do this. As soon as I started believing that, working out became more fun. I'm going to do this and I'm excited to see how my life will change by June of next year!
