Your Motivation

A reader was telling me about how she's embarking on her lifestyle/losing weight journey and that she's ready to shed some serious pounds (GOOD LUCK TO YOU, I'LL DEF BE ROOTING FOR YOU) she told me the fitness magazines serve as her motivation and she asked me to blog about MOTIVATION.

Motivation is funny because to me it comes in all form. Here are some for me in no particular order:

•  I was sick of always being the big girl in the crew (any crew that I was with, I always seem to be one of the bigger girls) and I was tired of being the one that always stuck out.

•  Clothes was never fun and I always felt like I had to stick to basic.

•  A lot of people thought I couldn't do it and I love proving otherwise especially when you tell me I CAN'T

• My Boyfriend <3 I love him so so much blushes but how could I love another if I can't really love me. A lot of insecurities sometimes hinder my relationship and I realize the insecurities were my own because of my appearance. I can attest that I started a lot of problems because I was insecure of myself. (But please let's not ever admit this to him lol )

•  Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, Beyonce, J.Hudson, hello I always felt "I got a really nice body and the weight does nothing for me time to shed it off"

• Other people doing it and still doing it. Fighting for it! That passion to physically get where they want to it rubs off which is why I blog because this journey is tough and we can all use advice, an ear, etc etc. Whenever I read of people getting that endorphin rush I wanna run to a gym.

• I NEVER WANT WEIGHT TO BE A REASON WHY I COULDN'T, WOULDN'T, SHOULDN'T weight is never going to stop me from anything (and for a long time it did) 

• My Body is my temple and it was time I started treating it like that

What are some of your motivations to reaching that goal!?!

For the longest I had this picture of her on my fridge and at one point some of my aunts the ones who need glasses thought it was ME! Every time I opened the Fridge and was "SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT A HORSE", I would look at her shape and say "nah I can eat some pineapples instead" lol
