Here’s to you. Here’s to going for just five more push-ups, and five more after that. To skipping out on candy and going for fruit instead. To working out more than your “naturally thin” friends. To not seeing results in the mirror, but putting on your running shoes and working out anyway. To carrots, to water, to perseverance. To sore muscles and stinky socks, to clearer skin and nicer hair. To feeling the sweet sensation of calories burning from your body. To the gap between your thighs. To confidence and health. To looking like a fool when you dance, but to then looking into the mirror, and seeing major change. To the killer legs, and jaw drops. To failing and succeeding, to winning, and to losing. To not hating yourself when you mess up, because it will happen. To newer, smaller clothes. To not starting tomorrow, but starting today, or tomorrow will never come. Here’s to you, beautiful. Here’s to you.

Today is your chance. I dare you to say you can’t do it. I dare you. And you know, if you do? You’re lying. You’re a liar. Because you can. YOU CAN. Whatever it is you do, whether it be running, yoga, dancing, lifting, skipping, underwater basketweaving, WHATEVER. Do it with every ounce you have, every fiber of your being. Literally, put your all into it. Because that’s when you’ll succeed. And nobody can tell you no, except for yourself. So don’t say no. Say freaking YES. Because after all this time, you deserve it. Where has doing things halfway gotten you all this time? Remember that goal you had last year? Do you remember the promises you have made, and broken, to yourself? This is not just a journey for your body. It is a journey for your mind. You’re learning to love yourself, to keep promises to yourself, to remember that you are valued, immeasurably. A body makeover, a mind makeover. Everything is changing in the best way possible. One more lap, one more rep, one more mile, one more inch off of your waist. One less soda, one less french fry, one less binge. One more day feeling confident in the body you’re in, or you won’t be confident in the body you’re trying to get. One less night hating your body for not being “perfect enough”. Because at the end of the day, you want to be able to say that today was better than yesterday, but not as great as tomorrow will be. Progress, beautiful. Not perfection. You’ve got it in you. Just give it all you’ve got.

I'm Gwen. 18. 11/21/94. Join me on my journey as I fail and succeed with my weight-loss goals. (:

Seriously. I just need to go on a mini-rant about how freaking amazing Hilary Duff is. She just, everything that could possibly be right about her, is, I swear. She had one of THE best original Disney shows ever. I’m pretty sure Lizzie McGuire was my childhood. She put out CDs, the whole shebang. (You know you know every word to Why Not, and that you at one point owned the Metamorphosis CD, so don’t even lie.) And when she was a teenager, what was the worst thing she did? What, that little tiff with Lindsay Lohan? About Aaron Carter or whatever? You didn’t see her in sex scandals, and out partying and going out of control. Then she went on and did a bunch of movies that were freaking amazing, like A Cinderella Story and Cheaper by the Dozen. She had a few weight issues along the way for like, half a day (or am I thinking of Lohan?), but freaking look at her now. She’s been married for freaking two years, and just had her first kid, not at 16, but at freaking 24. Now she’s into freakin’ animal rights, and protects the right of children and is all philanthropic and crap. This chick is such a bamf, is the one that teenage girls should look up to now, not some Snooki or whoever the crap else people are idolizing. Show some respect, bro. Show some respect. She’s not just a fitspiration, or a thinspiration, she is one of the biggest freaking inspirations of my generation.
