and that's the silver lining

My name is Emily and I'm nineteen. In past years I've ceaselessly battled with myself but from now on I'm quitting the war. My life goal is to be in the best shape I can be mentally, emotionally and physically and I'm ready to give it my all. This blog is here to inspire me on my journey to fitness and to catalog my progress :) I'm currently doing the Insanity program (commenced 1/07/10) so I'll also be documenting my experience with that and posting pics when I'm done. This blog is body positive! :)

Unbelievable oh my god — two eggs fried in avocado oil with salt and pepper, avocado, and salsa, with multigrain flax bread for dipping; a nectarine, peach, two strawberries, and blueberries

I am not on this earth to be beautiful.

I was not born to be slim or sexy or svelte.

I am here to be strong.

To be meaningful.

To be a friend, a fighter, to do good in this world.

I am here to be well-rounded, well-grounded, and well-meaning.

I am here to lift others up, to care, to wipe away their tears.

I am not an inspiration. I am aspiration and respiration.

I am stardust, not a star.

I am heart and hands.

I just am.

Worth watching

[heylookitseli-archives]

I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this. 

I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head. 

Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away. 

So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out. 

I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot 

[scarvenrot]

this is very important. please watch this.

I am smart.

I am beautiful.

I am worthy.

I am destined for greatness.

I am a warrior. 

I’m going to repeat this until I really believe it.

Weight loss is a process. It is not a steady decrease in weight, there are both ups and downs. The only way to see results is to stick with it.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.
