In the first picture here I found myself at 32 weeks pregnant with my second child and tipping the scales at around 210. That was a lot of weight on my little frame, but thankfully the majority came off naturally. What didn't I complained about but I really didn't do anything about it, leaving me at my heaviest that I'd ever been in my life. In August 2014 I finally decided I was going to achieve a personal life long goal and join the #usarmy. I found myself in a recruiting office being told I was too heavy to enlist and had to lose a minimum of 20 lbs. I thought it would be easy but my weekly weight ins with no progress proved to me otherwise. Finally, I was paired with a female officer that introduced me to the #Paleo lifestyle. I dived in and started seeing the pounds shed. Within 6 months I was down a total of 30 lbs and weighted my lowest since college at 135. I felt great. Unfortunately life events occurred and the army wasn't something I was able to continue pursuing, but it worked out for the best. In July 2015 I started a new job on third shift and fell off the Paleo wagon. I was surrounded by bad food choices and my weight started going back up. The second picture was after I had completed a 30 day ab challenge that I was introduced to by @slamderson . It was a brief attempt to gain control again but it didn't last long. I'm January I found myself pregnant with my third child and terrified of the weight gain to come. The pounds packed back on and I found myself once more in a bad place. 10 days ago I decided to take that control back and I dived hardcore back into Palei. I'm happy to report I'm down 5 lbs and already feeling so much better. I'm not starving myself, u still eat whenever I want and I feel better than I have in months physically. I look forward to this journey once more because I know it will help me get back to when I was finally starting to appreciate my body for the first time in years. #long #story #journey #paleolifestyle #paleodiet #weightloss #healthy #health #pregnancy #pregnant #32weekspregnant #idopaleo #fitness #healthy life #food #weightjourney #struggle #thestruggleisreal #weightbattle #control
