2 years ago this month I was that girl in the picture on the left. I was always the big girl, always the girl that came in last when it came to anything physical, and always the girl who just tried to blend in and hide.

–

I never wanted to stand out because I was afraid of what people would say mainly because I was the “big girl” and had always had things said to me or behind my back about it.

That fear still is inside the girl on the right, but instead of letting that fear control her- I control it. I know now because of my physical and mental journey that I have the POWER- and that no matter what everyone says, what is really important is how I feel!

Out of all the things I have learned over the past 2 years I feel that this is the most important thing; yes I have learned how to properly workout, eat the right foods, and drink the right amount of water- BUT above ALL I learned how to LOVE ME! And not be afraid of what people would say.

I have come to realize no matter what size I am or what I do people are always going to have something to say, let’s face it- I cannot be EVERYONE’S cup of tea, But I can be SOMEONE’S cup of tea- and I realized if I hid myself, that someone will never be able to enjoy my tea 😉☕
