The Struggle is Real.

I'm going to put this out there because I've become very self conscious about the way I look. Some may see it as a poor pitiful me story... but it's real.

Here's my story.

In 2011 I was given the opportunity to train with a personal trainer for free. I was his guinea pig because he was new to the area and had no clients.  So I worked my butt off. I lost 70 pounds while training with him. And then I lost an additional 25 on my own. I did really well at maintaining and ran every day. I attended zumba, took taekwondo, and worked out several times a day. I swore to myself that I would never gain it back. 

Well... I have gained half of it back because I got tired, burned out, and lazy. I started eating junk again.  It is so hard to get back on track. The struggle is real.  

For those of you that post your successes and eating right, keep it up.  It helps people like me. I once was one of those people. Thank you.

And when you see me in public, please don't judge. And look at me like I'm a failure. Because I do enough of that on my own. I don't feel like I look cute anymore, so i don't bother to try. I'm working on it and it's a slow process. Like I said, the struggle is REAL. And ice cream is so good.
