I was that THICK CHICK!!

I was that “THICK” chick that just knew that I was the hottest thing going. I said the things like, “men love it”, “I’m the average size”, & “I like my curves.” I honestly didn’t realize that I was THAT big. I worked out pretty regularly, but I used that to justify my eating habits. I wasn’t the WORST eater, but I wasn’t on point either.

Anyways, I met my guy and we started working out together. He didn’t say anything to make me feel like I needed to lose weight, but he wanted me to start making goals. Once I started making goals and seeing results, it opened my eyes that I was big! Trust me…this was eye-opening. I started losing weight, getting fit, and becoming healthier and healthier throughout my process.

Some people are just meant to be big

I have been big my whole life
I have a family history of ( insert health issue here)
