          Hey guys!! Welcome back. I really need to get on a good posting schedule, so then you guys know when posts are coming and so they are more constant. I really wanted to do a Q&A on here, so I asked you to send in some questions. I will answer the questions you sent in, along with a few common ones I also receive in person. If you didn't have a chance to send in a question, please comment them down below. I will do another Q&A soon. The questions are asked anonymously. I was also wondering if you guys wanted to see a "What I eat in a day" video, or a workout vlog. I'm kind of thinking about doing YouTube videos if you guys would be interested in that. Let me know.  1) What workouts did you do to lose/slim down your body and legs? Okay working out is a very important factor in getting lean/losing weight, but what you put in your body is way more important. Don't be afraid to lift weights a...

  Hey Loves!! Let me just say one thing, it's been wayyyy too long since my last blog post. School has been so crazy, but posts will never be this far apart again ;) I would like to talk about the pictures attached. I'm not saying one picture looks "better" than the other, but I can sure tell you in one picture I definitely feel better. I have found a whole new level of confidence buried beneath the years of not loving myself. I can now say I love who I am. I didn't change to look like anyone else. I didn't lose weight to look like those girls in the magazines. I lost weight so that I could feel the best I have ever felt. I lost weight so I can look in the mirror, and I love the person staring back at me. What are your reasons for change? Make sure they are only for you. Make sure you have the right reasons. I cant help everyone, but if I can inspire one stinking person. That's definitely enough. Listen up, if you guys ever need someone to talk to or ...

                       BACK TO SCHOOL As the first week of school comes to a close, I would like to touch on a few subjects. Going back to school can be so exciting for some students. They get to go back to school shopping at all the popular stores, see their best friends, and have a good time. Things are different for some kids. I remember back to school time a couple years ago for me, didn't consist of these things. I didn't get to shop at the trendy stores. I was insecure about how I looked, with the thought about what people were thinking about me circling my mind. My confidence was low. Back to school was not a fun time. Now that I'm reaching my goals, I'm finding a whole new level of confidence, that took me a while to find. Listen up, as school continues, be nice to everyone. Show people kindness in every situation, even if they have only showed you hate. You have abs...

       I have struggled with weight my whole life. My doctor was always so concerned about my weight. I was always the biggest kid in class. I tried to lose weight so many times, each time being unsuccessful. I would stick to it for a couple months, then I would fall off the train. I feel that you have to decide. You have to turn on the motivation and you have to really want to lose weight. If you are trying to lose weight for someone else. STOP. You need the right motives. I looked in the mirror and I wanted to change. I wanted to do this for myself. This is sad to say, but I hated what I saw in the mirror. I felt like crying all the time.  I hungered for change. I was tired of being the biggest kid in class. I was done with shopping in plus size stores at twelve years old. I was DONE. This time I was ready. Nothing could stop me. I made this decision the summer before seventh grade.      ...
