Her Fighting Spirit

The story of a young woman's battle to find herself, and then keep herself.

So grateful to everyone who has helped me along the way. Many more steps to take, but proud of the footprints I’ve left behind. #beastmode #curvy #eosfitness #fitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessgirl #fit #fitfam #goals #gym #gymmotivation #hardwork #health #lion #progressnotperfection #p90x #roar #tough #transformation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightloss #humble (at EōS Fitness Tempe: Warner/McClintock) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKWLEZglyT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xqsyvogq4zgh

Although the pose hasn't changed, wow, am I glad other things have! Have to remind myself how far I've come, and to be proud of my journey. #weightlosswednesday #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #fitnessmotivation #fitgirl #fit #gym #gymlife #eos #workinprogress #muscle #pushharder #fitness #fighter #herfightingspirit #justdoit #extremeweightloss #sorrynotsorry #bathroomselfie

Healthy food fuels the engine!

Super exhausted from my workouts today. As a public defender, my days at work are already intellectually and emotionally taxing. So, working out both before and after work is a challenge. But, I do it because it has to be done. No one else will get me to my goal but me. I persevere.

Keep moving. Keep working. Dig deep. Push harder. #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossinspiration #workinprogress #workout #scars #excessskin #inspiration #nevergiveup #tigerstripes #eos #gymlife #gym #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fit #fitgirl #digdeep #pushharder

This is my first shot at posting on this forum. I hope I get better at it as time goes on! I’m sitting here in my office at work, and a friend is texting me about how I should be so proud of all my hard work, and just be a soldier and face my excess skin removal surgery alone. Of course, he’s right. I should be proud. But, when I look in the mirror at the gym, I see a beautiful Frankenstein. I’ve now lost 225 pounds, but all I see when I look into the mirror is a person who still feels pieced together, and not totally whole. I am strong, yet incredibly weak. Brave, yet very afraid. Some days I don’t want to fight so hard for my new body or my new self. But, I’m trying. I really am. Just need to keep finding the strength to move forward and trade in my current scars for new ones.
