My story is long and honest and true and I've written it out before. Cliff notes below.
1 year ago right around this time I was fat sick and miserable. Only I didn't know it. Funny how you can look in a mirror every day and not see it. My wake up call was last Thanksgiving weekend, when I fell out of bed and was unable to walk straights, see straight or talk properly. I changed everything. I still struggle everyday to keep myself healthy and have good and bad days Everyday is a struggle to eat enough. But when I saw a picture of myself yesterday I was floored at the difference a year can make. Despite the battles, the migraines, the fight to eat enough.. I managed to pull through with healthy rather then skinny. I am still surprised. I do not think i was this small in high school even. I am not done.. This is a war, not a battle. I'll continue to make the decision to keep myself thin, healthy and happy. I have embraced this new way of living and can't even imagine going back to how I was. I don't know how I ever sat around all day and did nothing, now i climb the walls if I'm home too long. I don't feel my best if I don't get exercise everyday. I love it and i'm never going to look back.
So without further ado.. here the proof.

that is so true.. I have the hardest time taking a rest day.. I *should * take one today.. but i just got dressed for the gym. It's only 8am and i'm already tired of these walls. I just need to finish my coffee.
My demons/emotions will no longer dictate my life. I will silence them and keep them silenced. Come hell or high water.0 -
