A little over 3 years ago I wanted to start changing my life and I started my weight loss journey. Growing up I was never really skinny but I was never really big either. I was thick. I was always 140-150s in high school but I felt my body proportions were well. I suffer from PCOS so weight loss is difficult and I was always playing sports so I thought that's just how my body was. I never really had a good relationship with food or my body but it wasn't that bad back then. Senior year of Hs I went on birth control and started gaining weight. By sophomore year of college I was over 200lbs at 5'2 my relationship with food and my body was horrible. I decided to make a serious change. I started exercising again and I went off birth control. I lost weight and I was about 155 again and satisfied. But I started weight training and yoga and just fell in LOVE. I go to the gym 3-6 days every week and getting stronger and healthier is my goal. I realized true health is more than just working out, it includes your diet, and your state of mind. For the past year I've decided to focus more on disciplines and breaking toxic habits and I feel like I'm finally in the best place mentally, physically, and financially. And im 124-125lbs which means im about 75lbs down in the span of 3 years which I feel is very healthy. I'm so glad I took back control of myself and my life and i now know it is 100% possible to change your life.
Here's a before pic and a pic of me at the gym now :)
