Always wanted to share this:
I do want to make one point however. So
much of the insecurity that accompanies
being overweight is rooted in our own
minds. In retrospect I see this. I'm not
denying that judgements are made here

happens far less than it feels like it does.
When you feel like you are being stared at
or labeled, remember who you are. You are
a beautiful person. Not only that, but you
are a strong and determined individual.
You are someone who is fighting a battle
that so many perceive as impossible, and
you are winning! In this present moment,
you may not be as proud of your
appearance as you would like to be, but you
are actively changing that. There are few
things that should fill you with more pride.
So be proud!

Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me. A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...
