Motivational Monday - I'm real life

This is me taking another opportunity to motivate you. I was interviewed this week by Dr. Sherry Pagato FU Diet.com blog for a Real Life Biggest Losers series. I am always a bit timid when it comes to really sharing my story with others. I talked some to my husband tonight about this. I'm not sure if I am more afraid that people will judge me based on the fact that I was so fat before or if they'll think I'm just looking to brag on myself now. All I know is that I am timid about sharing my story on outlets like Facebook and with close family/friends because I'm ashamed. Sure, they all knew me when I was very heavy and they know me now, I am the same person I just look a little different.

I decided to just be proud of my progress and if people want to judge me based on the fact that I am sharing my story (over and over) or post pictures regularly of my progress it's totally fine. I'm very proud of how far I have come and am trying hard to focus on that as opposed to how much more work I have ahead of me to reach my ultimate goal BUT at the end of the day the only thing I want to achieve my sharing my story is to inspire and motivate others.

Like I said in the interview, "Believe you can and you will."

This is me, my life and it is real.
No fad diets, no weight loss surgery, no pills/drops... it's watching what goes in my mouth and putting forth the work in the gym. It's realizing that it isn't easy, requires a lot of patience and there will be days I mess up but it's knowing that every single day it is worth it.
And if I can do it you can too.
