Really feeling the most confident I have in my entire life. This surgery was the best decision I have ever made💗💗💗

I visualize negative thoughts as pop-up ads. I close them as soon as they appear

Perhaps we should love ourselves so fiercely, that when others see us they know exactly how it should be done.

I haven't updated you guys in so long!!! I've been busy with school and I've made new friends and it's been a great two months!!! Not to mention I'm under 200 pounds!!!!!! I officially weigh 195!!!!!! I have not seen this number since middle school. I hope everyone is doing well!? Thanks for the continued love and support. Even if I'm not posting I'm still a viewer and I'm rooting for each and everyone of you, we all deserve success and happiness💙💙💙

Any tips to help loneliness?

LOVE YOURSELF!!

Dance in your room, cook for yourself, clean yourself up at the end of the day, tuck yourself in and tell yourself how proud you are of all the small things you did that day, talk to someone you haven’t talked to in awhile and be genuinely invested in what they have to say & don’t talk about yourself unless they ask, take yourself out on a date.

Learn what it’s like to provide company for yourself & love that feeling that comes when doing that. You start to realize how powerful it is when you don’t need anyone to fill that lonely space and that company naturally starts to find you and your new vibe attractive. I moved to Cali with NO ONE and had no friends and by taking a year to do all those things listed above consistently; here I am struggling to find time to even be alone sometimes 5 years later.

This made me feel so much better about where I’m at right now. I’m learning to be ok with myself, being by myself, and what “self” means to me.

Cooking, yoga and exercise, drawing, meditating… all of that is for ME, and I don’t have to feel guilty anymore about the time I devote to those things. Those are integral parts of my being, and I am taking full advantage of the time I have where I don’t have to answer to anyone.

[madiwls]

This is so important. So spot on.

Today is my one year surgiversary! I am both happy and sad, if that makes any sense. I am so happy at how far I have come but sad that I have been slacking and not at my goal. On the bright side though, I am not very far from my goal. Thank you to everyone that has supported me and follows my journey.

[madiwls]

Wow! You look amazing! This is encouraging me to keep going forward!

I fit back into my size 14 pants again and it's so exciting!! I'm gonna get cute and post a pic tomorrow!!!

Akira Armstrong was in two Beyoncé videos, but couldn’t find an agent to represent her as a professional dancer because of her size. To change the narrative around what a dancer’s body should look like, Akira started her own dance company, made up of plus-size dancers. “Pretty Big Movement” is destroying dancer stereotypes, one routine at a time.

Sometimes it feels good to compare the differences that you don’t always notice. Found this old photo of me someone took that I was so embarrassed to see.. I couldn’t believe I looked like that. I wasn’t comfortable at all. It’s hard to realize how big you are without seeing photos from others sometimes. I’ve always considered myself a very fat positive person, and I still do. I just wasn’t comfortable in that size and I really didn’t like myself how I looked. If you’re comfortable all the power to you in the world. But anyway, I was surprised tonight to be able to take a photo of my whole body while sitting.. I could never reach my arm out enough to be able to do that before!! I’ve still got a goal weight I’d like to eventually hit, but little things like this make me so happy and remember why I’m doing what I’m doing. 🤗🤗🤗 #verticalsleeve #wlsjourney #vsg #vsgfamily #vsgcommunity #vsginstacrew #transformation

My first ever attempt at poaching eggs turned out okay! I fried up some sweet potato slices, covered them in avocado, and put bacon and 2 poached eggs on top. I’m VERY pleased with how it turned out! It took a lot more effort than my usual breakfast, but it was definitely worth it 😍🤤😋🍳🥓🥑🍠

[madiwls]

I'm obviously hungry right now! Will have to try this looks delicious😍

One of my favorite things to eat right now is a mini taco salad! So good and satisfying! I think it is extremely important to have a variety of texture on your plate to keep you satisfied with smaller amounts of foods💜🌮

This process is most definitely a marathon.

p>I’m so scared of ruining my surgery, I’m so scared of gaining weight. I’ve lost 70 pounds and I look down at my body and think I look the same. The mental aspects are so difficult to sort through rationally sometimes. I have to remind myself to not give up and to focus on everything I’m doing right. I literally get anxiety when I eat sometimes because I'm scared whatever I'm eating is going to make me gain weight, it's just hard because I never want to be back in the place I was before this surgery and I want to care for my body in the best way possible.
