My Weight Loss Journey

My name is Tempest and I am 29 years old, I have two children 14 and 10 months old. When I turned 21 my weight went from 140lbs to 210lbs. I was getting out of control and didnt realize it. I had no idea Where to start. I didn't know how to read a label or what a calorie or a carb was. I was very unhappy with myself. I cried a lot, I wanted help but I know I didn't have the money for weight watchers or a trainer.

When I turned 26 I was ready to do whatever it took to loose the weight. I no longer wanted to be a prisoner in my own body. The first thing I did was googled a grocery list that was healthy. I asked trainers if they knew of any good meal plans, last but not least I let a trainer train me for free and everything he taught me I did on my own.

Four months later I lost over 35lbs with exercise, eating every 2-3 hours and focusing on me with no negative people around me. I transformed myself inside out. Six months later I got pregnant and gained 75lbs. Nine months after giving birth I lost all of my weight. I had transformed twice in two years.

I realize that everyone has a busy life and dont really have the time to workout. One thing I want to say is that in order to care for youself you have to make time for yourself. Self care is a very important componant. Its very important that you have supporters and positive surroundings.
