@Regrann from @th3melan8dgawd - PLEASE READ THE CAPTION _____________________________________ My Vegan bodybuilding journey has definitely been a roller coaster ride. _________________________________________ In January 2014 I weighed 204 lbs at my heaviest & wasn't exercising or eating clean. I noticed my tremendous lack of energy, heart palpitations, and overall unhealthiness. __________________________________________ Fast forward 10 months in 2014 I became a dietary Vegan (I still wear some leather) & dropped down to 185 lbs (My ideal weight) but I still wasn't exercising to my level of satisfaction. _________________________________________ In February 2015 I elevated my workout grind & dropped all the way down to 152 lbs at my lightest (My weight as a High School Junior). As of this year I'm hard at work of getting back to my ideal weight 185 lbs if not 190 lbs (My current weight is 165 lbs). _______________________________________ I say all that to say this, you don't know the fitness journey of someone unless they tell you. I don't agree with weight shaming. I have endured several comments of "You're getting too small" or "Do you eat". It's best to STFU if you don't know or understand the fitness journey of someone. ________________________________________ It's politically incorrect to insult someone for being overweight but I notice & have even experienced heavier people thinking it's okay to insult smaller people who in fact may be trying to gain weight. _________________________________________ I've been there & with the picture I posted it shows that it isn't easy but it is attainable. At the end of the day if you love the body you are in you won't have to shame anyone else. #BlackMan #BlackKing #BlackPower #BlackPride #TeamBearded #TeamNatural #TeamLocs #TeamVegan #TeamFlex #TeamFit #BeardedAndLocs #Locs #Natty #StraightEdge #Vegan #flynubians #PlantFueledFitLife #Gainz #GAINster #veganbodybuilder #myfitnessjourney #EbonyFitness #blackvegan #blackvegansofig #plantbasedmuscle #veganmuscle #veganbodybuilding
