As a bigger girl, I hated shopping because I usually left disappointed that nothing fit. After a while, I HAD to get new clothes because the ones I had were falling off, which felt so amazing.
“Self-talk is so important when you want to give up. You HAVE to remind yourself of your goals, the things you are trying to accomplish. You have to find it within you to say “no, I am going to keep pushing.” Setbacks are temporary, winning lasts a lifetime.”
“Take your time. Try new things. Find what you love! Be gentle and kind to yourself. Surround yourself with an environment that encourages your values.”
“I’ve been able to fit in booths at restaurants, not need a seatbelt extender on an airplane, and fitting into any rental car I wanted to use. So again, in the tough times, just keep moving forward and keep your eyes on the prize. Become your destiny.”
“I seriously would take 2 hours to get ready because I would cry over hating my outfits. After all, they didn’t fit comfortably on my body. Things were too tight and too short and I was SO sick of it. I just wanted to feel comfortable in my clothes, and I finally was starting to!”
“Please just start! You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for. You are more than what meets the eye. I fully believe in you…yes even you, and I’ll help you any way possible!”
“My greatest motivator was always my daughter. I always wanted to be that mom she could be proud of and looked up to. My baby girl was a fighter from day 1 as a newborn, so what would be my excuse. Just looking at my kids always kept me focused, as I knew they were always looking up to me.”
“So my advice would be to stop waiting for the “motivation” to do something because it will never come. Decide you’re going to be dedicated no matter what, to reaching your goals and not giving in to excuses!”
“Take care of your body: feed it well, love it well, hydrate it, let it feel the sunshine and cuddles of your babies. Don’t let what you see from social media overshadow what an amazing woman you are.”
