first entry.

If you've come to my blog, you probably have either already started your own weight loss journey, are trying to lose weight, or just want to live a healthier lifestyle. Well you've come to the right place because I'm here to try to help people lose weight, and gain happiness. I just want to be an inspiration for girls everywhere.

I have always struggled with body image issues, and accepting myself for who I am. Like most girls, I have always wanted to look like the girls in the magazines, and on tv.

A few years ago, I was ready to change my life. I was very overweight, and so unhappy with the way I looked. Senior year of highschool, I decided to change things, I started by counting my calorie intake to 1200 calories per day. I managed to lose around 20 pounds and kept it off for about a year.

I went through a pretty bad stage like most 18 year olds do, and ended up gaining the weight back that I had worked so hard to take off. I hated the way I looked, wore sweatpants and baggy shirts .. I just felt so disgusting when I looked in the mirror.

My boyfriend Preston was the one that finally told me he'd pay for me to get a gym membership, if I wanted to try it out, and I ended up loving it! I worked out for 6 months straight and the 20 lbs came right off.

I still decided I wasn't happy. I had lost the weight, but I still didn't feel beautiful. Summer 2012 was the new beginning. I set new goals for myself, and as each week approached, I became closer and closer to my goals.

I am now 20 years old, and lighter than I have ever been since I was 14 years old. That makes me feel amazing, but now it's time to share my story with the world, and hopefully help other girls out there trying to reach there goals.

Now I'm not there yet, I wanna see abs by summer 2013 :) You can really do anything if you set your mind to it. I truly hope I can help all you young girls out there. My blog will consist of healthy recipes, health benefits, even workouts. Now ..

LETS GET FIT.
