When you are struggling, when you feel like your body doesn’t look how you want it to look, or do what you want it to do, remember:

You have a body. It’s fantastic. No matter what your limitations, what you have is valuable.

Keep Aimee Copeland in your thoughts. She has lost her leg and it likely to lose her fingers and other foot. Remember that a body is valuable and a mind is even more important. Remember that a body that can walk or run or dance or move you from place to place doesn’t need to look a certain way.

<3. Appreciate and take care of yours!

Hi guys! Thought I forgot about you huh? Well I’m still here, still trying to get better and out of the hospital and still determined to get healthy when my body is back to normal. I also noticed I have new followers! I’m on my iPad at the moment but I will definitely check out your blog and follow back when I log onto my laptop so don’t feel neglected. I show everybody love :) Anyway, back to the reason on this blog. Those who’ve been following me know that for the past few months, I’ve been really, really, REALLY sick. I’ve been in the hospital since March and I went from about 235 to my current weight of 185. Now at first I was excited because I was finally in the 100s. But now I can’t be excited. When I reached the 100s, I imagined myself feeling and looking amazing. I don’t feel that way now. I’m very weak, everything is flabby and I don’t feel great. It doesn’t matter what the scale says, it’s about how I feel. The scale is showing me the numbers I want to see, but my body is telling me that my quick weight loss isn’t what I need. All in all, I’m going to start using measurements more and the scale less as well as listen to my body. I’m also going to take my time. Even though I’m skinnier, I don’t want to feel or look like this. Taking the fast route is NOT worth it in the end (not that I can really help it since I have to do gross chemo). But I’m done blabbing for now!

Definitely agree with this. Had to do that when I recently broke up with my boyfriend. Too much dead weight.

The coolest thing I&#8217;ve seen ever. Not to mention it&#8217;s made of my favorite fruit!

Well, I few months ago (before I got sick) I told myself that I wanted to at least weigh 199 pounds by June 30th. When I came into the hospital nearly 2 months ago, I was 233. As of today, I’m 193. All I know is that I have a lot of strength training in my future to tighten everything up. But it still feels good to reach my goal despite all the crap I’ve been going through lately. That is all :)

Hi everyone. It’s been a very long time since I’ve really posted on here so while I have the energy, I’ll give you guys an update. First and foremost, the bleeding in my lungs have finally stopped! It’s been the hardest thing to fix and I’m so glad I’m making progress on it. It’s been one pretty long journey, being in the hospital for over a month. I was admitted into the hospital weighing 234 pounds and now I’m 203, 4 pounds from Onederland. It just sucks that those 31 pounds were lost from being sick, not to mention the weight I’ll lose from chemo. I’m afraid that I’ll look frail instead of healthy, so I have a lot of toning to do. On another note, I broke up with my boyfriend, my ex bought me an iPod touch and iPad 2 for my birthday, and things are just kinda awkward with that. But enough about me. Just wanted to let you all know what’s been going on :)

I can’t see anything! No pictures, no posts, nothing! What in the world is going on?

I hope everyone is meeting their goals! Although I can’t do anything now I’m rooting for you all! Its a new month, rock it hard :) and welcome new followers! You’re not being ignored, I promise!
