During the week I came across a page on facebook that really grabbed my attention. As I love hearing others weight loss success journeys and it intrigues me to read stories I find online or magazines etc. This particular story was different though. It was just the simple story of how a mother got 'tired of being fat and got in shape!'.
The most inspirational thing about it is that she did not do any fad diets or slimming pills - nothing, zilch. Her secret weapon was (and told tell anyone this) healthy eating and exercise!! Well did you ever hear the likes?!
I know a lot of people at the moment that would rather drink only 'diet' milkshakes or even worse nothing at all or just take slimming tablets which instruct you to NOT eat as they will not work. I really find this disturbing, I do not understand why people would deprive their bodies of compulsory and beneficial nutrients for the 'perfect body'. I mean if you have the will power to drink only shakes that do not even taste nice or starve yourself then why don't you just even eat salads and fruit all day at least your getting food then, it's ridiculous. These people need to understand what they are doing to there bodies in the long term. The price of beauty could not be worth so much nonsense, beauty is on the inside too and just because you are thin and healthy looking on the outside does not mean you are the same on the inside!.jpg)
Getting back to the main reason for this post, I was just so pleased when I read this womans story about being tired of being over weight. She wanted to change for the better, the only difference with her and a lot of other woman (including myself at some times) is that she actually DID something about it. I admire her so much. She had the determination drive which is what I really need to get back. She never gave up which makes her a true role model for woman and especially mothers out there. I am so happy I have come across her page as I feel it will help me on my journey of getting back in shape. I was searching for the inspiration that would help me get back on track and I am soo pleased to say that I have found it in this. After weeks of cheating my diet and going completely off the waggon I know that after reading her story I have been reminded that I will make it - eventually. I know that the only person standing in my way is me - and I will not stand for that one second longer. I have dedicated this post to her as I hope many of my readers out there will check it out too. It is so uplifting to see something so positive and I just want others to feel the same. The pictures of her transformation are so incredible and honest that I am privileged to have seen them and grateful for her sharing such a personal experience. I also think that she looks much younger in the more recent photos.
So check out her page it is truly inspirational. After all we are all in the same boat so there is no reason why any of us out there have to feel embarrassed about our weight gain any longer. We all know that we have it in ourselves to change right now.
Kind regards to Moro Soto Talbot for letting me share her story.
