What was your rock bottom moment?? I think ask a community, we are so strong when we share our stories. . The second picture in this post, is actually FROM my rock-bottom moment. . My rock bottom came at a family reunion that I did NOT want to go to. At my heaviest weight, I was turning down invitations left and right because I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin. . I hear that my favorite uncle Bruce would be at the reunion this time. Gosh, I hadn’t seen him in so long...and I decided to go. . I remember that morning panicking because I didn’t know what to wear. I didn’t feel good in any of my clothes, but didn’t want to shop for more until I had lost some weight. I threw on an outfit that I thought extended the most grace, and head out the door. . When I got to the family reunion, I spotted my uncle across the room and walked over to him (I was so excited!!!). As he walked my way, he gave me one glance and kept going. . Umm...that was super rude. . So I followed him and said “Bruce! How are you gonna was right by me and not say hi?!” . You see...Bruce didn’t recognize me at that weight. He had no idea who I was...and it wasn’t his fault. I had gained 150 pounds since the last time I saw him. All he had to reference were my super-flattering Facebook head shots. . I share this story with you, because: THIS WAS MY MOMENT. The moment I cut my own crap, and decided I wasn’t going to live this way anymore. I didn’t care what it took...I was never going to feel that way again. . Rock bottoms feel TERRIBLE...but they can also be the most beautiful starting place. . If you have a “rock-bottom” story...I like would love for you to share. ❤️

2015 at 297 pounds to 2019 at 120 pounds. There are no quick fixes that will change you from the inside out. No surgery, skinny wrap, or diet pill will transform your life. I wish I could say I had the easy answer. I tried EVERYTHING...but the vicious cycle continued. I wanted my circumstances to change SO BADLY...but I wasn’t ready for ME to change. The day that I realized that the pain of change was less than the pain of staying the same was day one. I was no longer willing to accept my life as it was. Was it hard? Yes. Did I fail? Many times. What made it different this time is I DID NOT GIVE UP ON MYSELF. I stopped allowing a cheat meal to turn into a cheat month. I started moving my body. I started loving myself BECAUSE of my flaws, not in spite of them. My flaws make me terribly unique, and I learned to embrace them instead of fight against them. I found a passion for serving others in any and every way that I could. Along this road, I found my PURPOSE. Life was living me for too long. Now? I don’t just live my life. I LOVE my life. The weight loss struggle is real. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel as if it should be easy for you. It doesn’t matter what surgery you have or what diet you do...you have to FIGHT for the kind of life you want to live. For information on my approach to total mind/body transformation, DM me your email. 💌

One of my favorite quotes has always been: “You can either give up, give in, or give it your all.” . I am still transforming every day. Heart change takes a long time. I’m not where I want to be yet...but I’m SO far from where I used to be. When you’re committed to growth, you learn to love where you are...but always push to become more. . I want to give you one reminder: don’t give up. Keep coming back. Keep pushing forward. Make small changes. Move your body. Just don’t give up on YOU...

PLEASE COMMENT 👇🏼 This is a little bit of a different kind of post. I’m calling out to everyone who has lost weight, to start a thread to encourage and empower others. . If you have lost weight: -What advice would you give someone who is afraid to start? -What advice would you give someone who wants to give up? -What is the biggest thing you learned? -Was the pain of changing worth it? -How is life different now? . My best advice: -Start small. Build on it. -Don’t wait until Monday. -You’ll never be ready. It will never be the right time. You just have to do it. -You have to just keep going -Losing weight is nice. Gaining peace, happiness, and freedom is better. Focus on THAT. -Being STRONG matters. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. -Don’t listen to other people. No one else knows what they’re doing either. . For those needing encouragement: save this post to refer to on the hard days. ❤️

Beach hair don’t care. 💁🏼‍♀️ oh-my-goodness you guys!!! My first full beach experience has been more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! It’s so calm and peaceful-which is NOT my normal pace. . Yesterday we went on a catamaran and got to snorkel! I saw TWO octopus 🐙! They are so neat! They change colors to match their environment and are so sneaky! . I’ve tried LOTS of different foods. I haven’t stayed strict keto the whole time, and that’s ok! I have a back-on-track plan for tomorrow! They incorporate a LOT of rice and different fruits here. I like trying different foods from different places to expand my pallet! . Also, as a side note-I’m actually rocking my tummy tuck scar in this pic! It’s hard to see, but for those who have asked-you can see it! . Anyways, heading back home to TX tomorrow. Even though I have enjoyed this much-needed break from reality, I’m looking forward to stepping back into my boss lady role and rocking it!! . Hair by @kimstensionssalon

My hope, every day, is that one person comes to my page and decides not to give up. Our journey is not the same. Our battles are not the same. Our bodies are not the same. . But the struggle to overcome our challenges is universal. . It’s scary to try something new. It’s terrifying to pick up the pieces and build again. . Sometimes we let life make us feel safe. But nothing changes if nothing changes. If you aren’t happy where you are, it’s time to MOVE. . There is never a right time to step on your path. You will never overcome your fears until you decide to look them in the eye and face them. . I can promise you this: the pain of change is never as scary as it seems. The day you decide that the cost of staying the same is too great, will be the first day of the rest of your life. ❤️

I cannot tell you enough the value of taking pictures...often. . Somewhere along the way we learn to tie our emotions to immediate results. . I remember straight up ugly face CRYING myself to work...day after day...because the scale wasn’t moving. . But you know what doesn’t lie? Pictures. I have lots of them. At least weekly through my whole journey. . The scale...it’s a liar. And the moment you stop depending on it, and trust the process, is the moment you will set yourself free. ❤️ .

I thought I had a weight problem. I truly believed that if I lost the weight...all of my problems would disappear. - Then I realized it was deeper than that. - The weight I carried wasn’t the CAUSE of my problems, it was the SYMPTOM of problems that lurked within. - I was in complete denial that I needed a TOTAL transformation...both mind and body. - But as I figured out how to succeed...I figured out that I had to learn to love myself again, first. - I will say this over and over until I breathe my last breath: TRUE and LASTING transformation starts in the mind and heart...and the body follows along. - Crash diets will not fix this. Weight loss surgery will not fix this. Diet pills will not fix this. - The reason we stay on the diet roller coaster is because we focus on the external...not the internal. - Change is scary. It’s not an easy process. But it’s WORTH it. - In the moment...it feels EASIER to stay in the comfort of what you know. - The day you realize that the pain of CHANGE is far less than the pain of staying the SAME...will be the first day of the rest of your life. - Faith>Fear Most>Now Progress>Perfection

This message is for my binge eaters: - I may not have all the answers, but I know what’s worked for me. And this tip has helped many others...so maybe it’s a starting place for you. - The idea of going on a diet felt sort of like getting sentenced to prison. Food was my comfort. And the thought of taking that comfort away was suffocating. - But I was so SICK of how I FELT. It wasn’t about looks at that point. My body felt horrible...like I had the flu all of the time. My mind was a wreck...depression and anxiety was taking a toll on my life that even medication was not alleviating. - But...I’d start a diet, and do so great all day, but come the evening I would sabotage myself. I would hold off as long as I could until I couldn’t do it anymore, and would eat myself sick. - The mindset shift: 1. Telling myself it’s not NEVER...it’s just not NOW. 2. Focusing on my WHY. Why am I wanting to lose weight? How do I want to feel? How will my life be different? 3. Asking myself the question: What do I want the MOST vs what do I want NOW (in the moment)? - Boundaries I set: I promised myself I could eat ANYTHING I wanted, but I had to take these three steps: 1. Eat a full meal on my plan. 2. Drink an entire bottle of water. 3. Read my ‘why’ out loud. If, after these steps, I STILL wanted to binge...I was free to do so. - This process helped me for a few reasons... *I didn’t limit myself. I just said “later” instead of now, which often, would completely prevent a binge episode. *Even if I DID binge...I was already so full on healthy food and water, that the damage to my progress was MUCH less severe. - Slowly, but surely, the episodes I had were growing further apart. I eventually got to a point where I became obsessed with eating to FEEL good, as opposed to eat to LOOK good. - The scale isn’t always consistent. And when my focus was only on looks...and the scale went up...I felt defeated. But when I changed my focus to how I felt, mentally AND physically, I had a consistent measure of progress. - Gosh, this was long...but I hope it helps someone.

My favorite pic is the middle...because I remember how I felt when I took it: I WANTED TO GIVE UP. . It was taking too long. I felt like it wasn’t worth it some days. I felt like I would neeeeever reach my goal weight. I’m sure glad I didn’t quit. - I’m not 100% sure on my weight in the middle (it’s been a few years), but I believe it’s: Starting: 297 Middle: 205 Ending: 120 - Ten things this journey has taught me: 1. You have more strength than you ever imagined. 2. You can do anything you put your mind to. 3. Some people won't understand your vision, and that's okay. 4. Your faith will be tested. 5. Quitting lasts forever...your journey will not. 6. Discipline is learned, not earned. 7. The road is long, but is worth it. 8. Beauty comes in all sizes-all the way from start to finish. 9. You are not the number on the scale. And... 10. You have to love yourself completely-and not allow the fear of change to stop you from anything. - To learn more about my weight loss method, DM me your email and I’ll reach out to you! 🦄

July 4, 2014 to July 4, 2018. . I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was going to a family get together...and honestly, didn’t want to go. . I felt so uncomfortable in my skin. Almost like a prisoner. I felt puffy. My whole body hurt constantly (kind of like I had the flu). . I spent a full hour trying on everything to find the ONE outfit that made me feel like maybe no one would notice how out of control my weight was. . I was so worried about what people would think when they saw me. . But what I remembered more was: the dreaded Facebook tag that night. I guess some “random candid pics” were taken and I was tagged. . I was mortified at what I saw. I remember thinking “how did I let this get this far?” “When did I lose control???” . I knew I had gained weight. But seeing a tagged side pic where I looked 9 months pregnant felt...awful. . In this situation, there are two choices: 1. Continue as is and allow it to get worse. 2. Make a PLAN. Making a plan doesn’t mean you have it all figured out. It also doesn’t mean you won’t be scared out of your mind. . But it quiets your anxiety and your wild mind. It tells your thoughts: “It’s okay: you have a plan to make sure you NEVER feel this way again.” . Start simple: decide to start swapping one meal each day for a healthier option. Start taking the stairs. Commit to a daily ten minute walk. . Once you start achieving the small pieces of your plan, your mind starts to believe “hey, maybe I CAN do this...” and it gives you the momentum to keep pushing forward. . For more information on how I can help you, DM me your email and I’ll reach out to you. 💌

Some girls get excited about red bottom shoes... I’m over here excited as-all-get-out at these cute outfits from TJMaxx yaasss. 💁🏼‍♀️ - Going from a size 24 to a size 0...I learned some tricks to save money on CLOTHES. . I always found it was easier on my budget to grab a couple of things every time I got paid, rather than wait until I had NO clothes that fit. - A few tips: 1-Stores like TJMaxx or Marshall’s are great! I would always go often, because they get new stuff in all of the time. As I transitioned down, I would always get clothes a little snug to motivate me to get into the next size down. 2-Clothing apps like @thredup. I order 90% of my clothes on here still! Pro tip: you get a much deeper discount on this app when you buy out-of-season items. So right now, I’m keeping my eyes peeled for fall/winter clothes! 3-For your old clothes, Poshmark is a GREAT app to sell them on (or you could give them away to someone else who’s on a weight loss journey!!) - I hope that helps!

I wish I could say I love working out. I don’t. I literally hate it. But you know what? I show up anyway. 5 days a week. For 30 minutes. See, you don’t have to spend hours in the gym to see results. You need to do the right workouts, that are EFFECTIVE. What I remind myself of is what I want MOST, which is to feel strong and healthy. . If you are new to working out, the best advice I can give you is to start small and BE CONSISTENT. . So, for you, that may be a 5 minute walk a few times a week. That’s a great start! Once it becomes your habit...start to build on that. . To learn more about my method, DM me your email 💌💌💌
