This is my weight loss progress blog. I have been struggling with my self image, confidence, and just my health in general. I am currently 175 pounds my measurements are 38-34-41. I am of thicker body type and I’m slowly starting to be okay with this.
Even though I am trying to lose weight and inches, I don’t want my efforts to be driven by the fact that I hate the way I look and just want to be a stick. My body type won’t really allow for that. I am okay with this. I have been working on my self image and have been accepting myself for who I am.
So now I am losing weight for health reasons, I know I will feel better, have more energy, and confidence. I will be posting my physical and metal progress (and bumps), motivations, my diet and exercise plan, and people who inspire me.
I won’t just be posting pictures of skinny minnies, I will also post plenty of thicker, curvier girls. Now I don’t think one is prettier than the other, I will post all body types because all body types are beautiful.
I'm Finally going to do this
On reactions to her weight loss:
I find it funny that people now come up to me and say, ‘Wow, you are absolutely gorgeous’. I’m like, ‘I was beautiful before I lost weight. Egotistically speaking, I thought I was amazing’-Raven Symone
This quote. Exactly why I dislike before and afters. Why are you to judge a woman solely on her appearance, and deem her as ‘beautiful’ after she has lost the weight? Beauty is not defined by a low weight.
i have rebloged this 20million times and i will do it again
MMMM. ;)
She was gorgeous than and still is .you go gurl
I always loved Raven Symone, and related to her as a kid. I never even noticed any difference in weight between her and other stars-I just wasn’t able to see a difference, where there wasn’t an important one.

This is Nikole and I. We are in an old pair of PJ pants featuring Sponge Bob. These particular pajamas were my favourite when I weighed 350 pounds. They were tight. In fact, at one point, I had to retire them because they were too uncomfortable to sport during my slumber.
Today, I can fit one of me and one of her in each leg with a lot of room to spare.
A year and a half ago— I never would have believed this was possible. I never thought I’d have lost 150 pounds. I never thought I’d have gained confidence. I never thought I’d be happy. I never thought I’d be proud of anything I had done.
And, now, I’m proud of everything I’ve done and I know that at the end of my weight loss journey I’ll be able to say the same.
Holding the medicine ball between your knees and not letting your feet touch the floor make all the difference.
THIS.
