Came across this little gem tonight (from exactly 3 years ago) 🙀 & I wanted to share with you guys!

Not that I was ever really overweight, but it bothers me when people downplay other people’s progress and say things like, “yeah well you were never fat.” or “yeah well you didn’t have an eating disorder.” or something along those lines, as if that person who worked hard for what they achieved isn’t worthy of it because it wasn’t as “hard” as someone else’s struggle. Everyone’s progress is equally as meaningful because it’s unique to them!! True, I never had a lot of weight to lose, but the difference between those two pictures is way more than just the number on the scale. In fact, I weighed 100lbs on the left, and I currently weigh 112lbs. 🤗🤔

I remember not having a damn CLUE about fitness or anything involving weightlifting. Ironically, I started my journey with running (lol you all know how much I hate running). I educated myself on anything and everything I could - especially nutrition, and I set goals for myself. Over the last three years, I truly feel like I have transformed so much both physically and mentally. While my journey isn’t comparable to someone who’s lost 100lbs, or recovering from bulimia.. that’s one thing I’ve learned throughout this whole process: your journey is no one’s but your own. Try not to compare yourself to others, and be proud of what you have accomplished.

This wasn’t achieved overnight by weight loss teas, fat burners, or “magical wraps”. 🙅🏼 This was achieved with hard work, discipline, flexible dieting🍏🍊🍌🍓🍩🍪🍦, and a whole lot of ups and downs!
