I used to have someone come up to me and pinch my sides..telling me I had gained weight. Every time I would be eating that same person would make comments like, “wow your butt is getting big. You shouldn’t be eating that, and the list goes on..” I remember being stunned when that person told me those things. I couldn’t believe that someone would take time out of their day to put me down. What I didn’t know back then was that there was nothing wrong with me..that person was unhappy with themselves and felt the need to comment on my life. What that person didn’t know is their comments made me cry myself to sleep. Their comments made me feel so low and just plain sad. They broke me and made me hate my appearance even more than I already did. That person was reassuring me on what I already felt and knew. When I wanted to start a fitness journey..so many people told me I wouldn’t stick to it. People made fun of my Instagram and what I posted..but I knew if I kept going and believing in what I was putting out there and believing who I was as a person that I could do it. It’s crazy to me that so many people can be against you until you start actually succeeding...then, everyone wants to be your friend. Everyone wants to know how you did it. Although, it was hard being bullied and put down constantly...I kept my head down and kept working. Somehow, I had this little piece of determination and I held on. I kept holding on because I knew that one day it would all be worth it. Keep fighting for that moment.”
