Hey there! Many of you know if you pack on a few extra pounds it's incredibly hard to slim back down, it takes real willpower and dedication. My story starts when I was 18 and I met this wonderful man, now my boyfriend of three years. After a year of being together, just like many people, I began to gain weight, I was comfortable.
This is me now with my confidence high, but it wasn't always that way...
I went from 145 pounds, to 175.
I'm 5'4"
Now I really wasn't obese, but I wasn't healthy. I wasn't in shape. And my confidence wasn't the best.
From the time I began to realize my weight was becoming a problem , I became depressed.
I felt unwanted by my boyfriend, even though he still wanted me and loved me.
It was my own self esteem that was fooling my mind.
That was it, I was at the breaking point. I called my dad, ( best dad ever) and he gave me tips and ideas and most importantly confirmed my inner beauty and my outer beauty was still the same. i just needed to make healthier choices. So at almost 19, I lost 45 pounds. And gained strength, and confidence!
My boyfriend and I worked out, rode bikes, and ate better, together.
It wasn't easy but for anyone who thinks it's impossible it's not! You're strong enough I promise!
