for those of you that aren't my friends, i thought i would share my story with you (:
at my high school graduation in May 2012 i was 260 pounds. last summer was a hard one that changed my life and who i am, so i decided to change my appearance on the outside to match the new me i had become on the inside.
i went off to college and gave a big middle finger to the “Freshman 15”. After almost a year of working my butt off at the gym, eating healthy, and telling myself i deserve to feel happy about myself and my body, i now stand tall and proud at 200 pounds.
now, im not quite where i want to be, but im closer than i was a year ago. i want to be an inspiration for people who think they cant do what they are dying to try.
i never thought i would look the way i do now, and i wouldn’t trade the throbbing legs, sore arms, and aching abs that i had day after day for anything in the world.
dont put yourself down or count yourself out before you give it everything you got.
happy Monday everyone (:

You look great! I was around the same weight when I graduated from high school, but that was years ago. I stayed under 260 for the most part, but would eat pretty much whatever, whenever. I've wanted to loose the weight since then but finally got the kick in the pants to say "Its going to happen NOW" and start doing something. It has been five years since I've had McDonald's and Burger King, and 4 years since I've had other fast food.0
