So I decided to write this blog about me
and my fitness journey, my ups and my downs, the goals I have met and are still trying to meet. If anyone gets the slightest bit of motivation out of this I have met my goal for this specific blog.
"The secret of success is the consistency to pursue"
Highschool for me I never was a size 2, I started having weight issues then.. Nothing terrible I was over all thin but always had that image in my head of what I wanted to look like. Being so busy with school I never watched what I ate, but being very active in cheer leveled me out, for the most part anyway. I really started putting on my weight my senior year of high school. I had recently moved states into a new school and was sad to leave my friends and finish my senior year in new surroundings not knowing anyone. I looked to food for a total comfort. To me, it was fun it was always something I could do when I was bored at home, make something yummy and eat it! Fast food then became my addiction, no lie. I loved it and I craved it. Even though knowingly it was so unhealthy to me at the time I shrugged it off. Well looking back now I paid for it! Every bite. . My weight snuck up on me so fast.. I was always used to being thin and never really having to worry or stress about my weight and then one day nothing fit of mine, I hated the way I looked in everything I tried on, shopping was no longer enjoyable to me.. Even though I was not 100's of pounds over weight, I was still over weight and wasnt comfortable with myself or my body. I looked at losing weight like such an impossible thing for the longest time. I refused to watch any program with super skinny gorgeous girls because it made me feel horrible about myself. Not knowing at the time or realizing that I was the only one who could change and make a difference... My aunt, two cousins and I in Vegas (Before)
.
164is what the scale read the day I decided to finally make that change. After continuously trying over and over again and failing, I was ready to 100% commit and stop making excuses as to why I couldnt do this, or couldnt do that. I am only 5'2, and being 164 pounds my BMI read Very Overweight, which was hard to soak in. That day I started my fitness journey and worked very hard. I did everything I could to stay motivated and strong. I worked out when I didnt want to and refused cheating.. There came a time where I realized if I ate something I wasnt supposed to, I was only cheating myself and no one else. There is no reason why anyone cant reach their fitness goals they have set for themselves. Everyone is highly capable as long as you set your mind to it and DONT STOP. I lost my first 25 pounds without a gym membership, no crazy fat burners, no eating programs like Jenny Craig, no trainer, no nothing like that, but all with ambition, my living room, and an image I wanted to achieve for myself more than anything 
I have yet to reach my ultimate goal weight that I have set for myself since day one. I am still working hard every day and trying to encourage people that not only losing weight, but getting healthy is entirely a realistic goal anyone can reach. Besides losing actual weight, and fat before when I was considered Very Overweight, I knew I wasnt healthy.. I could feel it. I didnt sleep good at night, I was always irritable, I was as lazy as they come, I wanted to do nothing but sit on my butt with a huge tub of ice cream watching Biggest Loser thanking God that wasnt me.. After I reached a healthy weight and BMI for my height my Doctor told me I had completely made a 100% turn around and that I was his healthiest patient of the year! I was glad my hard work paid off! 
164 pounds size 11 in jeans
and I am now 120 pounds
and a size 3 in jeans. I am still
in the process of transforming
my body.. I hope to everyone
reading my fitness blogs can
help you in any way during your
fitness and dieting journey
because I know its not always
easy, but the results are greater
and well worth it! Keep looking
forward and work out hard!!
Until then stay strong,
-Brittney xoxo
