Hey there!

So i've never actually posted on the forums before so this is a little nerve wracking for me but I hit the 90 pounds down milestone the other day and considering how little motivation i've had lately and how I was so sure I wasn't still making progress I was blown away and reminded myself why i'm doing this so I wanted to share the motivation. The newest pic is a cheesy shot and i'm makign a weird face lol, but i've been terrified of crop tops and shorts my entire life and so that was part of it, to really own this.



The before pic isn't even me at my absolute heaviest because I basically neeeever took full body shots at that point. At my heaviest, I was 235 pounds of self loathing and misery and bad coping skills with all the physical problems to match. I am now 140 pounds, still trying to learn to be ok with myself and be comfortable in my skin, but it's amazing the amount of the problems I thought were just bad genetics that went away

I still have a ways to go, but I can do this and so can you, it's hard but it's worth it and you'll get there. You don't have to be perfect or fast, hell I took soooo many breaks, especially when I got married and went on vacation. Did it take longer? yes. Was it worth the brain break? absolutely.

The perfect is the enemy of the good is my biggest tip, just do what you can when you can and be kind to yourself.
Pace yourself, accept that motivation will come and go and you just keep trying.

You got this!
