Taking my life back

Plan *from 141 to 119*

Fill out a daily journal on weight, cals in, cals out, and steps with measurements weeklyish

Go for a walk as many days as possible during the week and weekend - if there is time, go. If there isn't time, see if I can make some.

Coffee with oat milk when wanted but fall in love with black coffee again

Minimal calories before dinner, fruit is a great snack!

Aim for 1200 a day. I'm a short, small person and this is actually reasonable.

Why

The way my clothes fall effortlessly over my frame and the confidence I feel in my looks - even in simple outfits - is worth it. I get to feel like who I am meant to be.Take

When I see results I feel excited to keep going each day.

When others see results they tell me how good I look and ask what I've been doing. At 32 I'm getting more and more attractive with age and people are in disbelief.

The way my eyes look bigger, my cheek bones are natural, my jaw line is sharp and my smile is bright.

The way my neck and shoulders look elegant but strong.

My breasts are perky and natural without being overwhelming and heavy.

The way my waist is so tiny. I'm naturally built for a tiny waist, an hourglass figure which looks insanely good when I'm small. I am lucky to be able to take full advantage of this look just by being a small weight.

The way my ribs and chest bones show just enough.

The way my hip bones are close to my skin, and when I lay down they show. The way he runs his hands over them.

The way my legs are unmistakably thin even if my body isn't built for a thigh gap. The way no one would even question it.

The way my body feels like it's floating, moving with ease, and grace. The way my stride is longer and smoother. I can curl up smaller. Everything I do feels better. Looks better.

Plan *from struggling to thriving*

Take 7 days worth of feed photos on Monday

Take 5 days worth of PPVs Monday

Que feed for 7 am

Send PPV while having morning coffee

Answer DMs with morning coffee

Stream one misc. day and Friday

Why

When my bank account fills up, my stress goes down and I have more freedom in my life.

I can pay down my debt, mortgage and bills, or anything else that comes up with ease and without worry or stress. It's like nothing. It rolls off my back because there is always more than enough.

As the momentum is gained, I wake up excited for each day.

Once my debts are paid down, I can work towards the things I want like new paint, floors, and window treatments.

I will be able to focus on my future, our future. Everything will be going to me.

I was young and dumb. Thought my marriage would last until I took my last breath.

I was wrong.

Last May, I came to my senses and realized I was married to a narcissist asshole who couldn’t accept that his son was gay and that I was supporting of his sexuality. It felt like I had finally taken off my rose colored glasses and saw the real person I was married to for the first time in almost 18 years. So, I took a huge leap and left. My son and I moved out. And we haven’t looked back. Over a year later, I’m officially divorced, back in grad school, still supporting my son, raising him by myself, and have a wonderful and supportive boyfriend. I feel like I found myself. I’m laughing again. I’m taking care of myself. I’m protecting my peace.

And lasering this stupid wedding ring tattoo off.

Weight Loss Update #1

On June 1st, I started what has been to this point, a very positive journey in my life. Sick of missing out on several life experiences including (but not limited to) actively playing with my kids, riding roller coasters and hiking.

My start weight was an incredible 354 lbs. I am now at 323 lbs. 31 lbs in 40 days. I am much more energetic, much more confident and even starting to fit in clothes that I haven’t worn in years.

I am not even attempting running yet and have to this point, not started weights. I am doing simple, but challenging cardio by walking on the track at my local high school, where I am now up to 4-5 miles at a time.

My eating/drinking habits have also changed dramatically since I have started this journey. In the past, I drank anywhere from 1 to 6 cans of soda a day and ate a lot of pizza and similar foods and at the wrong times (late at night). I now drink almost exclusively water and eat fruit like a fiend. I do still drink soda, but have reduced it considerably to the point that I have had 3 cans once and 2 cans twice and am either 0 or 1 a day on most days. I have built in cheat meals that I have used a handful of times. I am much more conscious of what I eat and how much I eat and what I drink as well.

I am an extremely picky eater, so meals are hard for me. I am trying to be open to new healthy things, but my go to foods are no longer as bad as they were. I typically consume between 800 and 1600 calories a day. I am very rarely hungry to the point of desperation because I am eating better and more frequent.

I wish that I had started this earlier, but I have no regrets, because in order for this to work, I had to want to do it. I 100% do not see myself relapsing and am ever grateful to those who motivated me to do this and continue to motivate me.

Sometimes you have a toxic manager and you get super depressed. Due to your depression, you don’t comb your hair. Your hair then gets SUPER matted. Then you spend 10 hours at the hair salon and get it fixed. #newhairwhodis #takingmylifeback https://www.instagram.com/p/COy9nK6gg-O/?igshid=ztw28auzik3y

Ewa, how do you feel in regard to how your work is received by society and/or critics? I feel overwhelmingly supported by most of society because they have welcomed my art in ways that I could not imagine. So many people have connected to my art because of what it stands for. I have collectors that believe in my work and continuously support my work financially so that I can keep making art and in turn help families impacted by domestic violence by donating a portion of my proceeds to shelters. I have people who connect to the stories behind my sculptures because they themselves or someone they love and or lost to domestic violence have experienced the same situation as I did. I also have survivors who get strength, inspiration and hope from my art because they have an example of someone who is thriving and making a difference by sharing their story. I received awards for by art at gallery shows and festivals and for that I am grateful but the thing that brings me the most joy is how people impacted by domestic violence both directly and indirectly receive my work. I make art to make organic and genuine connections with others. #dvsurvivor #artistinterview #domesticviolenceprevention #foreverflowers #fineartflowers #localartists #empoweryourself #womensempowerment #creativecareers #domesticviolence #purpleheart💜 #supportlocalart #healingart #thriver #dvawareness #takingmylifeback https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKYWy0jqt7/?igshid=1br4p7v8g2s42

I wore a croptop today :)

I bought this with the intention of wearing it when I’m “skinny”. Screw that! I’m on the road to taking my health back, I’ll take my mental health back aswell. I’m tired of feeling unworthy of anything because of my size. I’m tired of feeling uncomfortable in my skin. So... I wore a croptop today :)

Never again __LepaciousBose declares ... I heard Thursdays are for throw backs so I went way back to look for a woman I used to know..... The thing is I remember her pain, her tears, her frustrations, her insecurities, her rejections, body shaming from even so called friends the suicidal attempts and much more. Oh I remember the feeling of being stuck in a body bag in a long dark hole and unable to find a way out, till today I still feel claustrophobic and avoid very crowded places. . That woman was her heaviest at 210kg (still don’t know how I got there), then at my smallest I lost weight to 95kg and I thought yesssssss I can relax now..... that was my biggest mistake! I woke up one day and I was 135kg, I could feel the walls closing on me again, the depression engulfing me, the mental battle pulling me into that deep dark tunnel. It was time to fight back again. Not sure I can ever be 95kg again because after 40 Weightloss is a daunting task. Today at 108kg I live a routine life, workout often and it’s not because am strong or am disciplined etc.... it’s because I can’t afford to go back to that dark place. Am afraid I may not be able to find my way out the 3rd time. So I press on.... because it is a matter of life and death; that’s why it’s throw back because the only time I will ever see that woman again must be in throw back pictures, NEVER AGAIN IN A MIRROR!!!!! . . . .Repost @lepaciousbose (with @report.for.insta #winning #takingmylifeback #weightloss #weightlossjourney #survivingthyroids #thyroidwarrior #fightingback #beatingdepression #overcomingemotionaleating #stayingalive #fatslayer #toolegittoquit #stilltoolegittoquit #lepaciousbose #gratefulheart #hypothyroidism #hypothyroidismweightloss #hypothyroid #pcosweightloss #workout #fitness #bodygoals #remolding #gym #excercise #gymlife #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #cleaneating #thestonethebuildersrejected #lepaciousbose https://www.instagram.com/p/B23-jqnJNIM/?igshid=zzp9dr8r4sew
