Put all the quarantine thickness I gained to use this morning and crushed my legs and glutes workout... with the help of my @steelfitusa products of course — y’all don’t sleep on these mini loop bands, they are no joke and had me glistening with sweat 🥵🥵 ——— Okay y’all, so transparency time... I have gone back and forth on whether or not to share this update, but I have built this following and y’all have come to expect my honesty in sharing the good, the bad, the ups and downs of what fitness is. Side note: if you’re sole purpose is to body shame please keep scrolling. As I was saying, I have gone back and forth because I am truly unhappy with my body and where I am. Many of you know I was diagnosed with 2 blood clots at the end of March and that I posted a happy post about only gaining a little over a pound. Y’all I spoke too soon 😭😭 As a result of the blood thinner I was prescribed, ya girl gained 24lbs between March 30th and May 18th. Yes I am aware that is an insane number. The blood thinner was causing issues with my kidneys and that is the reason for my rapid weight gain. - Y’all I am not happy and in many ways feel like I am starting from the very beginning. My mental health has taken a hit as I feel like a failure even though I had no control over this. It’s just hard to see the weight I lost come back. I am not happy, but I refuse to let this turn into a complete downward spiral. I refuse to be 320lbs again. I share all of this as a means of keeping myself accountable. I will lose what I gained and I will fall back in love with myself and with my body. It’s going to take time but I am worth it. #weightloss #weightlossjourney #body #bodybuilding #buildingme #fit #fitlife #fitfam #fitlifestyle #setbacks #comeback #stronger #strongereveryday #gym #gymmotivation #fitspo #fitspiration #inspiration #motivation #honesty #real #reality #mylife #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #bodyimageissues #healing #learningtolovemyself #pushforward (at Hampton, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOU6WRjvwe/?igshid=159x4fap1fspu
