101 pounds → 160 pounds → 127 pounds

✘101 pounds : I felt on top of the world. Why? Because I was a size 0 ... I’d never been close to that EVER. I felt hot af... I felt like I finally fit in. I was able to go shopping and look at myself in the mirror and like what I saw.

But what got me there? Was I truly happy?

Adderall got me there.... not leaving bed and not eating. If I ate... it was a salad. I was hard on myself and lost myself.

✘160 pounds : I gained all the weight back when I cut my adderall out cold turkey. I was depressed, I ate my feelings, I let myself go rather than re find myself. I’d never been this heavy, I’ve always had an athletic build from 9 years of competitive volleyball and training.

✘127 : HOLY HECK I DID IT!! I overcame being 101 and 160. I lost my weight by going through the process and enjoying the journey. On my bad days I kept going on my good I kept killing it. Yes I’ve lost a good amount of weight but I’ve put so much work into it ... it’s beyond rewarding. It’s a mental thing. Fight for that body you want

There’s no easy way and there’s no cheat. You have to want it. You HAVE to go through the process. You have to fight through the thoughts of “I’ll never get there” because I’m here to tell you... YOU WILL GET THERE! Don’t give up...surround yourself with people who will continue to push you daily and support you. To me, it wasn’t just about losing weight but falling in love with my body at every stage
