I am posting this because so many people have messaged me and asked me what did I do to lose weight. This journey has been years long. Lost and then gained again. I’ve dealt with so many self esteem issues. I lacked confidence. My breast have always been large. Since college I have battled weight issues. It aided in my lowering my confidence. I ate away my troubles. Life happened over the years. The last quarter of last year, I said I wanted a different life. I was obese, at risk for high blood pressure, and then life happened. I felt like I was at my lowest point by then. It was dark and I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was depressed and felt like I have watched my life crumble away because of so much stuff that has happened. Then someone texted me out the blue and said I heard a song and it made me think of you. She said “Live”. I chose life that day. I fasted, created a prayer space in my apartment, ate healthy and worked out. When people ask me how did I lose weight, I try not to over spiritualize my journey but the truth is, God changed my life forever. This has truly been a spiritual journey for me and I’m not done yet! In the picture on the left which was in 2012, I weighed 247lbs. I now weigh 177lbs. I have officially lost almost 70lbs since then. I’ve lost about 50 of those 70lbs in the last 5 months. I am down 7 pants sizes and 2.5 cup sizes. Stay tuned for summer 2016. My beach body is coming soon. 💪🏾👙#PrayForMe I pray that my story blesses and encourages someone 🙂
