People ask me all the time “Have you always been fit?” Here’s your answer. No. I haven’t. Weight issues started early for me. Sometime in middle school I gained a ton of weight, I was shopping in the women’s section for clothes and I was so uncomfortable in my own skin.
I am posting these 4 photos to show you, that sometimes you slip up. And that’s okay, because we are human. AND that it’s possible to get back to where you were, or BETTER! In the span of 3 months, I gained 35 pounds and it was definitely a backwards transformation. i was lazy, complacent and most of all careless when it came to my health.
Swipe through to see 4 stages in my adult life when I was on a weight rollercoaster.
Photo 1: Today - 125 pounds, Very pleased with my body, able to maintain this and most days I’m pretty confident in who I am.
Photo 2: July 4, 2015 - 170 pounds, couldn’t stand what I looked like. Super uncomfortable and extremely insecure.
Photo 3: April 12, 2015 - 140 Pounds, was in prep for a show and for the first time in my life, I was in good shape.
Photo 4: July 14, 2014 - 155 pounds, was just starting in the gym and was starting to see some minor improvements in my body but still very insecure.
I don’t have a secret weapon, no fancy pills or wraps. It was a lot of trial and error. And when I found what worked for me, I finally stuck with it. If you’re having a hard time maintaining the healthy that works for you (when you’re happy & healthy) keep working. Stay relentless. @ Minneapolis, Minnesota
