I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my breaking point, and when it really happened. Most of my overweight life, I’ve been around a size 14/16 in women’s jeans. Which, I want to point out, this was in really stretchy women’s jeans. I probably should have been in 18/20. I remember my mom wore size 18/20 jeans, and she passed away about 12 years ago from diabetes and not taking care of herself. I swore I’d never let myself get that big. Then my stretchy size 16 jeans starter getting tighter. And tighter. And tighter. Finally, I had to stop wearing them. I started living in leggings. I remember going shopping and trying every size 16 pair of jeans I could find. None would fit. I remember breaking down in a dressing room, because I was so scared. I refused to pick up a size 18. I just wouldn’t do it. I want to say this — I am not trying to shame anybody who is a size 18 or above. It’s not about that for me. It’s about the fact that I didn’t want to follow in my mom’s footsteps and die too young. I don’t want to miss out on my future kids’ weddings, or miss meeting my grandchildren, or growing old with the love of my life. I was scared because, as much as I admired my mom for so many things, her health was not one of them. I needed to make a change — not just for my mental sanity and my health now, but for my future. The habits I do today — every “today,” are the habits that will determine what my tomorrows are made of. I decided I didn’t want to live that way anymore, and that I was done feeling sorry for myself. I’m still far from my goal, but I actually feel healthy... and I will continue making my today’s a better version than my yesterday’s, to have better tomorrows.” - from #fbggirl @vanessa.arianna.fit 👏👏👏 . Its so important to also point out that none of her journey was fueled out of hate, but instead out of love for her body and doing what’s best for it, even if it’s hard. This is what FBG, @fitbodyapp, and the #fbgcommunity are all about ❤️❤️❤️ #fbggirls #fitbodyapp #chooseyourhard」6月12日 3時40分
