My Back Story with Pics!

Well, I guess the only way for you to fully understand me is to journey into my past. I have always been overweight growing up . It was not a "new " thing for me, but I was always active. I remember I was going to a Homecoming Dance and I weighed myself. I was 222. At that point I was so upset and mortified. I vowed that I would never weigh that much again. My Sophomore Year, I decided to play field hockey.

16 Years old 2004

 I only did it because my best friend wanted to try out, but I really liked it. I ran soooo much. OMG. Of course, I was the only big girl out there, so naturally I was slow, but I never gave up. When we had to do , 10 laps around the field, I would keep going until I finished. I slimmed down during that time , but I wasn't dieting, which I should've been doing. I was 16. I eat what I want. I then played Varsity Softball that spring, and I was happy with my weight. I was still big, but I was in shape. I graduated my senior year at 201.

I was a nice size then, still a little big, but I was happy.I could fit into a Size 15/16 Jean. Over the next few years I gained back the weight, naturally because I worked at Dunkin Donuts for 3 years and I was no longer active. However all of that  changed once I got accepted to The Walt Disney World College Program. It was an internship where I lived at Disneyworld and worked for 7 months. I went there at 270 and over the course of dieting, and walking everywhere, not to mention the hottest weather ever, I lost 40 pounds without even trying.I weighed myself and I was 232.

 I was pretty proud because I didn't even notice that I lost the weight. When the Internship ended I came back to NJ excited and ready to continue with losing weight, but that came to a halt when I got pregnant in July 2011. I gained back all of the weight and had my son Maxwell at 292.

I had Postpartum Depression which was a killer, I don't wish it on my worst enemy. I was pretty much catatonic and I didn't really eat much, so I did lose weight, but I was so depressed that I wasn't happy. I'm still working through some issues, but after I started to accomplish some goals( Getting my associates Degree, Getting into a 4 year school and Starting and finishing Rutgers ) I slowly came out of that depressing haze. I am a Senior at Rutgers University. I am graduating in May 2015. It's been 2 years since I had the baby I have stayed at a consistent 280. I need to get out of this plateau, I cant be this close to 300. I just cant anymore.

Welcome to my New Page!

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to start a new page that was separate from my beauty blog. As women we are all trying to achieve our fitness and wellness goals outside of our daily makeup/ beauty routine. We all have different sides to our personality, which is why I wanted to divide my blogs. I want you to come with my on my fitness journey. There are many tools I will use in my fitness quest. I also know that I will have shortcomings and failures. I feel like I will achieve success this time because I am at a different place in my life than I once was. I have attempted multiple times to get on the right path, but this time I feel different. one of the things I love about myself is that I never give up. I might not succeed, but I never give up trying. I want to bring you along with me to help push me to reach my goals and to possibly motivate you to want to be a healthier person. So excited for My New Beginning!
