Journey to a Better Me

Losing weight and gaining life, one pound at a time!

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.

legit my mom uses traditional / herbal medicine and remedies all the time and they work but I still get all my necessary vaccinations whenever necessary because she was a nurse and she’s not dumb and they also work

This is incredibly hard for me to post and I was going to just do a progress picture but with all the new followers I figured I would just show you where I am at right now in my journey. I started this journey at a whopping 323 pounds 😲 SO EMBARRASSING! But I put my mind and my body in high gear and have dropped 86 pounds! 💪 Now I can make myself look real good with some clothes on but this is the reality underneath it all and for once in my life I am not ashamed or embarrassed of my body. Every curve, every stretch mark shows everything I have been through to get where I am today. For all my followers and friends that are starting there journey for the first or the fifth time you WILL get to this point too. Don't be mistaken, weight loss wasn't the only thing that got me here. It was learning about my body and how to take care of it. It was hours of personal development, teaching myself to love my body instead of hate it. Being fit is about so much more then what is on the scale and it's so important that you all remember that. Stay motivated, work hard, continually educate yourself and you will reach every goal you set for yourself 🌞💜

I am so incredibly thankful for the three days off I had this past weekend. Sometimes you need to lay back, relax, and accomplish absolutely nothing. Time well spent with my favorite person 😘💜 #boyfriendappreciation #cuddlesesh #hesmybestfriend #hesmyrock #hesallmine #imallhis

86 pounds down, 72 more to go! 💪 I've been in such a rut lately that I never thought I would be able to get out of. Sometimes you just have to switch it up a little bit, try some new recipes and different workouts, to get past the little bumps in the road. 🍎🍌🏋 ** I got this picture from ilostwhat.com** #weightlossjourney #tashagetsfit #tashasjourney #ilostwhat #86poundsdown #fat2fit #healthyeats #weighttraining #newme

I’m the kinda person where I’d rather you tell me the truth even if it’ll hurt a little, than figure it out myself and know you’re lying to me.

It's really time for me to stop making excuses and start making changes. 💯I have not liked who I have become the last few months and I don't want to be this person forever. Irritability, frustration, stress, and anxiety currently control how my day goes 👎 but I want to be in control, I will be in control.👌Some big changes are coming my way and I'm ready for it 💪#embracechange #beincontrol #itsmytime #itsmylife #iwanttobehappy
