Hello and happy new year!
2020 was a wild ride for me. I left my abusive relationship, got engaged to my best friend, started a new job, and most importantly, I started believing I deserved to love myself.
My biggest step in self care was accepting that I was obese and that if I didn’t change, I was going to die. It started off with cutting back on fast food, then buying frozen veggies. Soon enough I felt like I had enough energy to go to the gym!
The first week was hard, the second was harder, but by the third week I couldn’t get enough. I started to notice the difference in my appearance and my confidence slowly started to build.
That confidence translated to me realizing that part of loving myself was putting distance between myself and those who did not love me. I got a better job and after the first week at work, I had the courage to leave him.
With a fresh 200 pounds off my shoulders, I felt more motivated than ever. I started manifesting positive thoughts, and surrounded myself with people who cared about me. I rebuilt old bridges and fixed a couple I burned.
With my ex out, my best friend of 15 years moved in, and of course we ended up getting engaged ❤️ (I’m so amazed by her every day)
She’s overseas right now for school and I met my new best friend that’s also my roommate, whom at first I couldn’t stand, but I gave him a rubric and honestly, we just keep making each other better.
Lucky me, my roommate is a body builder and has been showing me how to eat healthy and keeps me up and on my feet. He’s a blessing truly.
Anyway, long story short, I’m feeling better and I’ve lost over 60 pounds and I’m currently working on toning.
I wish you all the best in this new year! May you reach all your goals!
