“I’ll be happy when I lose 15 pounds.”โฃ
“Iโll be happy when I’m a size smaller in jeans.”โฃ
“I’ll be happy when my thighs don’t rub together.”โฃ

When is enough enough?!? This vicious cycle of mine continued for years.โ โฃ

Then, ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ญ! I finally reached my magical number! I weighed ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉy! However, this number was not realistic for me to maintain and I soon gained it back and some! โ โฃ

Remember that you donโt need to wait to deserve to be happy, you can create that for yourself every single day.โฃ

I can tell ya. I have come so far and man I’ve never been happier.โฃ
โฃ
It’s not about the scale, the pant size, or that thigh gap anymore.โฃ
โฃ
It’s about creating the happiest, healthiest version of me!โฃ
