So a month has gone by and how about that, I lost 20lbs! Let me tell you what, there are SOME people out there that think just because you are a heavier person, you will lose weight quicker and its easier. Well I have news for those who believe that old wives tale...WRONG! I have busted my *** over the past month, eating healty, working out every day, trying to be a single mother and work full time, and most importantly....staying STRONG and POSTIVE and keeping the FAITH! Everybody's body works differently than others and no matter what, focus, strength, commitment and will power will help you succeed. If you dont posess all of that equation than you will be unbalanced.
This whole process has not been the easiest of journeys, however, those that think and stay optimistic and positive will be the ones to prevail in life. Not just with this contest but IN REAL LIFE afterwards! If I dont win this show, it wont be the end of this journey for me. I will continue to fight this battle of obesity I brought upon myself until I feel and look healthy again. This is the most important thing to me. That first week I lost myself in negative emotions and I cried at a 4lb weight loss! 4 POUNDS, I lost 4 POUNDS in a WEEK! So, I decided from here on out that, I would be grateful for every pound I lost and would just try harder the next week!
To EVERYONE, online losers, fantastic 9, and those just tuning in to watch the progress, keep up the good work. Dont ever let anyone bring you down, words are just that...words. YOU are the only one to let them get to you. YOU control your emotions and if you react, then chances are there is a tad bit of guilt on your part. Just stay strong and be positive!
GOOD LOOK ALL AND CONGRATS BLUE TEAM FOR THIS WEEKS WIN!
MAY- Get well soon chick!!
Love, Michelle
GO WHITE LIGHTENING!!!
