fitness + motivation

Just a documentation of my weight loss and fitness. This is a body positive fitness blog! I positively identify with being fat, even though I am trying to lose some weight. If you have any questions about this plz ask. *If I've reblogged a pic of you and you do not want it on my blog, just ask and I will remove it*

Cellulite is a female secondary sex characteristic and should be celebrated as a rite of womanhood, not despised or eradicated.

[blackvulva-deactivated20150627]

it’s really a secondary sex characteristic?! 

[thentheysaidburnher]

It is. It has to do with the way our bodies network fat. Female bodies create sort of a mesh network to support fat (female bodies are MUCH more hardy in times of stress) and it can present as delightfully lumpy. More than 90% of women have visible cellulite, but all women store fat in this manner.

why did no one tell me this?!

[radiant-humble-deactivated20161]

You know why :/

To keep us down

[ketouk]

Hence why we stall for weeks and then all of a sudden all the pounds shed at the same time.

you gotta remind yourself to move on with ya’ damn life and focus on yourself

[ugggghhhhhhhh]

I wish I had more before pictures. Being in front of the camera was never my thing. I was always self conscious of my weight. My journey is far from over. I’m learning to accept my body and self more and more each day. If there’s something you don’t like about yourself or body simply change it. If you’re fine with what you see in the mirror, even better. As long as you love the way you look that’s all that matters!

November 2014 vs May 2015

Starting weight: 235lbs (heaviest was 258) size 18/20 US Current weight: 167lbs size 10/12 US Goal weight: 140lbs

I’m 5'5". Before I ate way too much crappy, sugar loaded, processed foods. Now I’m watching my macros (50% protein, 25% carbs, 25% fat) and eating lots of veggies, fruits, poultry and fish. I also went from little-to-no exercise to doing 30-45 minutes of walking in the morning everyday along with bootcamp style workouts 5 days a week. I’ve recently started running in the past month and have done a few 5K’s and hope to start training for a half marathon.

I used to always make excuses for my lack of physical activity and poor food choices but now I’m able to tell myself that all those excuses are bullshit! Haha! Getting physically healthier has made me mentally healthier!

Adulting

Me: *gets paid on Friday* *broke by Tuesday* *survives off of $8 for two weeks*

[baby-got-backbones-blog-deactiv]

That’s not being an adult. That’s being an irresponsible child. Like… That’s literally the opposite of being an adult.

[nahhfr]

who the hell asked you?

this aint no group discussion sweetheart. this is a college sophomore (60K /year tuition) working two jobs (that pay over minimum wage), whilst supporting his damn self (and family back home), talking about his situation on HIS post!

and ill be damned if some dusty, bottled neck, “what would a kinkajou do” looking white, tell me that Im not an adult because of the system, that wasn’t built to benefit me nor my family, forced me into countless unfavorable financial positions. 

Child my bills are paid, my mothers bills are paid, I got clothes on my back and food in my stomach (all of which i paid for).

so take that classist bullshit else where and think twice before condescendingly delving into other peoples business.
