Hi, everyone!! 😃😃😃 About 4 years ago, I lost 115 lbs & have been maintaining since then!!

I wanted to make this post because I remember how much the success stories used to inspire me to push myself to become healthier when I was obese.

I am sooo incredibly grateful to be on this journey.

Growing up, I was bullied relentlessly, had really bad social anxiety & bipolar disorder & turned to smoking, drugs, alcohol, & food to self medicate after high school. My life went down some really dark paths.

I quit smoking cigarettes & have been alcohol & drug free since 2012. It’s been a long journey but absolutely worth it. After completely gutting the motherboard of my life, getting into therapy/group therapies, finding the right medications, & just completely restarting my life, I became mentally stable.

I developed healthy coping mechanisms, including reading. The Harry Potter series is my all time favorite!!! 🤓⚡️✨ It has helped me tremendously in my stabilization.

After my mental stability, it was then that I decided to work on my physical health.

When I started out, I was pre diabetic & was so obese that walking down the street was excruciatingly painful 😢😭

I started out using an exercise bike for a couple minutes at a time because I needed an exercise I could do sitting down, being that that was all I could do 🚲🥵 I eventually worked up to exercises that I could do standing up.

My Fitness Pal & tracking has helped me so much in losing weight & maintaining!
🙌🙌🙌😻😻😻 The forums have taught me so much about consistency & health!

Now, I exercise 6 out of 7 days of the week & have a very physical job that allows me 15,000 steps a day, something I would have never been able to do before!! Aerobics is my favorite form of exercise 💪😍💖🌟✨💕

I never want to take my physical & mental health for granted. I am incredibly grateful for my second chance at life & if you took a moment to read this & look at my photos, thank you!!! 😻💖😻💖😻


Starting weight: 278 lbs

Ultimate goal weight: 165 lbs
