And speaking of self love, @lovekassi_xo, take it away!?

“*Disclaimers first: I know this isn't the same pose, left photo is April 25, 2015 and the right photo is from September 2nd (2017). Currently, I look the same as I did in the right photo- hence my selection, & yes, I do need to take updated official progress pics.*
Second, I felt the desire to share this in light of a significant 7th anniversary for me this weekend that played a major role in my journey.
Long post get ready:
I've shared before that my struggle with body image started in the second grade, but I've never shared how I never gained a significant amount of weight or was not anywhere near being overweight until I was 19. I closed a chapter in 2011 that started in 2009. Between 2010-2011, I gained 20 pounds. Once the chapter closed out, I gained an additional 20 pounds in a short 5 months from a brutal depression I fell into. Ever since then, I never got back to where I was back in 2009 because I struggled with the vulnerability that came along with being back at that figure/"weight". (I don't weigh myself anymore, I go with how I feel/measurements- that's why I'm putting quotes around weight). I felt this persistent need to protect myself and eliminate what felt like a risk of looking the way I did before. As a result, I began sabotaging any progress I made the moment I got close to that goal.
When I freaked out about my weight gain, I lost 30 pounds in 3 months from obsessive cardio, then put it back on, then suffered from insomnia, lost it all again, then put it back on.
When I was 22 I found @getfitandthick and the self love story began and hasn't stopped since. The discipline I've learned and the growth that has taken place is truly beyond what I ever imagined myself grasping. While my pull to sabotage still resides within me, I'm starting to feel its flame slowly fading- especially this week. For the first time, I was able to pull myself out from going back to my comfort zone while I was in that type of funk last week that usually is the beginning of me falling back. Oooh what self love, focus, and speaking out loud so that brain hears you loud and clear- can do!”
