Anonymous submitted: Hey tumblr!
I’m 5ft and probably 115-120 lbs on the left (during) and about 130 on the right (before). These were taken a year apart but my weight has been up and down for the past 8 years.
I know there inst a huge visual difference in between else the two but mentally the gap is HUMONGOUS! I feel like I’m finally on track because for the first time ever I can honestly say that I love my body. I do. It’s curvy and strong and I wish I hadn't spent so many years hating it.
How did I get to this stage? Ironically it took an injury (tore my knee ligament) to help me lose weight. Now I wouldn’t recommend that as a weight loss solution folks. I was forced to slow down. I had to quit starting crash diets and hectic workout programs that I never stuck to. I had to stop depriving myself of food because that only ever led to binges and then purges in the bathroom. I had to start to take care of myself.
Now I eat healthily, but without cutting out any food groups. I’ll have sweet things but not too often. I don’t really get much exercise at the moment but I do get a lot of sun.
So my advise is to leave your programs and routines if they aren’t making you happy. Focus on seeing your worth. Because we are all put on this earth to do some good, to make a difference, but you can’t do that if you aren’t happy with the person you are. 🤳 Submit your own before and after pictures to be featured on this blog 📸 New Motivational Instagram: stepup365 ❓ Can you relate to the mental struggle?
