Transformation Tuesday! - Meet Elizabeth

Happy Tuesday!!!!! I love this day in the social media world because of all of the transformations that are shared.  It is so motivating and inspiring to read about other people who are changing their lives by eating healthy and moving more.  And today, I want to share Elizabeth's story with you!

Hi. I lost 100 lbs in 2011 by doing Insanity, Asylum, P90X, BBL, running, and swimming. I ate healthy and drank a bunch of water. Was going to join the military. Due to some medical complications, never joined. Gained 126 lbs. I found out I had plantar fasciitis over a year ago.

I started my fitness journey cause I was looking up devices to help clean my own behind. I had trouble to even go to the restroom. How horrible is that? Sad. I had thoughts of ending my life because of the choices I made. The regaining the weight I lost. The lending out 5K to a guy cause I wanted him to want me. I had bad self esteem. There was other reasons of why I wanted to end my life. But for every one I knew I had 100 more reasons to stay. And I finally stopped feeling sorry for myself. And just looked at the cup half full and not half empty. Yeah I gained the weight back. So freaking what? I'm not dead yet. I will get to where I want to be. It may take a year or two. But I'll get there.

I was going to get gastric bypass surgery. Decided to sign up with a PT instead. Then after a few months of that. Decided to do the T25 workout program. So happy that I get to still spend 25 min a day with the love of my life. Lol. And I'm so grateful that I have hope again and that my foot isn't stopping me this time. I'm down 50 lbs so far. Thank you all. Love you all.

I LOVE her story and I relate to her so much.  She is a amazing lady who has taken back control of her life and I know she will inspire many others to do the same.  I am  telling you all that depression is a very real and very invisible thing.  I think even more so for those of us that battle with our body image and self esteem issues.  Some days the thought of it all being over can be overwhelming, but Elizabeth is proof that we are not going through this alone and that there is hope!!!  For even more check out her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/shrinkinglady.

Keep Losing,
