I've never been brave, but I'm here to face my fears and that this will hopefully serve as motivation for others. That's me January 2013 (165lbs) and that's me now almost 50 pounds later. When I was "fat" people wouldn't make fun of me but I always let myself down. I was depressed, I didn't want to go out for almost 2 years. I felt left alone in the dark and I know that's the way some of you feel... But today, I want you to rejoice. I want you to get started and make a change for the better if you need and want it. I'm not posting these for attention, in fact, I wasn't even planning to do it. But seeing some of you constantly be sad about your body weight... that's just - that's not right. So today I'm here posting these pictures of myself to help you motive YOURSELF. To keep you guys motivated on your goals to reach them and when you do, you'll be proud of yourself. Keep going, don't give up. And when you get there do the same I did today - pass the message. Let others know about your experience to motivate them :) Thank you Gaga, and everyone who joined the Body Revolution and posted their photos in here. Thank you for the inspiration. I will forever be grateful to every single one of you :) #ABodyRevolution2013
