One of my big things is acceptance and self love. I really believe you have to love yourself. and you have to be willing to change. many people say they want to lose weight but really, the extra pounds are a protective mechanism. I think we all have to really work on self love, forgiveness and acceptance while we are also working our quads and glutes. so it’s a little difficult to post some of these pictures (the clycling one I hate) because I should really focus on how beautiful I already am, and not how far I have to go. I say I would like to lose x pounds, but really, the scale doesn’t matter so much, as how I feel and how my clothes fit me. I’d like to lose a good dress size (maybe 2?).

my recent “epiphany” is that I’m willing to change. and I’m willing to let go of those pounds. and I’m willing to be happy, joyous and free.
