Hello to the World.
I have yet to share my story with many people but I figured doing it this way would help me to be more open and to be able to touch other peoples lives. I am 25 years old and for half of my life I struggled with self image. From ages 7-13 I was over weight and called fat even by my closest friends. By the time I got into 8th grade I had started watching what I was eating and making sure I would do 100 situps a night and 100 push-ups a night to make sure I was as skinny as all the other girls
When I had reached a place that I was "comfortable" I had realized that I still was not small enough. I had fallen into the black hole of being a teenage girl and dealing with self image. I had started to throw up my food only when I was drinkig alcohol because I thought it was okay. A year of heading down that path I then started throwing up my food on normal days as well. I would binge eat fastfood and then throw it up and then make a healthy meal choice. I never lost weight I actually gained weight becuase I was starving my body. I had been doing this until I was 23 years old when I had met Kyle my husband now and had realized that my life did not need to be that way. He loved me for me so I told him my problem. He did not understand and I knew he wouldn't but I was trying all on my own to stop what I was doing because in my mind I knew it was wrong but I kept doing it anyways.
It was not until January of 2015 when I began my life changing healthy lifestyle change. I surrounded myself with so many like minded people as me. I opened my heart and mind to the possibilities that I could be healthy and fit by doing it the right way. I started a Superfood Nutritional cleansing system that has forever changed my life. I never felt deprived, hungry or over stuffed. I loved all the amazing energy that I had expierineced within the first 2 weeks of the program. I saw pounds just dropping off and the inches fading away. By my second month I found myself wearing jeans that I wore in highschool that had not fit since I was unhealthy! I could not believe what I was seeing. My thoughts of anger, anxiety and mental instability all became better with just some simple life changes. I have grown to understand that the way we feel and a lot of our emotions have so much to do with what we put in our bodies. I feel the healthiest I have ever felt but there are still goals to accomplish! I want to have a set of abs for the first time in my life and I know I can do it!!!
Here is to all the men and women in the world that struggle with self image and think they are never good enough. Here is to all of you that understand that just eating healthy and working out might just not be enough and you need to surround yourself with those that think, want and do the same things as you! Be positive and grateful and you will have everything that you want and desire!
