With that being said, I always tell people don't compare yourself to others, when in fact that is very hard for me. I have been comparing myself to others my whole life. Especially in high school and jr. high, when all my friends were skinny and they all could share each others clothes and borrow each others dresses and tops. Nope not me, I never had that, because I was always the bigger girl that didn't fit in the same clothes as all my friends. That mentality of comparing myself to other girls never leaves my brain. I have to catch myself and remind myself what I am doing. I still compare myself to the other "skinny" moms, who are blessed with flat tummy's when they walk out of labor and delivery. The only difference now is that it doesn't make me sad. It gives me more motivation and inspiration to know that I can look like that, I just have to work harder at it. I can shape my body however I want to. I always had that power! I just never knew I did until NOW! and the fact is, is that naturally skinny girls are lucky, but girls that have to fight to be fit are STRONG!!!
I could go on and on about my emotions and feelings of being a fluffy girl in high school but we can save that for another day. I will say that I will teach my children not to judge others based off their appearance, because one day that "skinny mean" girl may just switch roles with that "fluffy girl" ha! That may or may not be a TRUE story!
So here is to you! Taking control of your body! You telling it when to stop, when to run, when to push, and to keep digging deeper. Because you are a strong beautiful woman who works her arse off to be fit and healthy and only you can stop you.
I hope y'all have a FITabulous Thursday

I'll leave you with my OOTD since it's the one day I got out of gym clothes so far this week......
Preach it sista. Reason why I always read someone's entire blog before I post because if you don't know the history you can't understand the journey. Anyways love this post and love the inspiration pic!!! I know one day I will be proud to show off my guns and I know I'll get them with hard work. Lookn good momma!

Love this! And I totally agree is is all about choices and making a change. If your body isn't changing make a choice to change something! So proud! I hope i can get to where you are. I used to be a 2 and now I am a 10/12 with work. I'll get there and thank you for being an inspiration.
