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 know this is really bad but today I have started my no eating diet all I have is lemon water! im just not going to eat untill I lose 5 kilos then I will stop! How long will it be??

@fit-healty-losinweight

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DO NOT DO THIS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The way to get healthy IS NOT TO DO UNHEALTHY THINGS

Let’s say that you do this, alright, you lose your 5 kilos/11 pounds, by the end of it you will be weak and grumpy and in a horrible state. 

And then, wahoo, goodness knows that you CANNOT SURVIVE ON LEMON WATER FOR FOREVER AND WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
SO when you get back to eating normal foods, like potatoes and cabbage and chicken or whatever

YOU WILL GAIN ALL THAT WEIGHT BACK PLUS MORE BECAUSE YOU HAVE STARVED YOUR BODY

I don’t think you understand like YOUR BODY IS LITERALLY THE ONLY PLACE IN THE ENTIRE SPAN OF ETERNITY THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE

YOU CANNOT TREAT IT LIKE THAT

NO NO NO NO NO

You even said “I know this is really bad”

Like that is just completely and totally apparent that this is an awful idea

Your body puts up with your crap, and presuming you aren’t wheelchair bound or missing appendages, it gives you the ability to walk and run and smile and punch and all that fun stuff, and literally the only thing it wants is to be bathed and to get FOOD SO GIVE IT FOOD (dude bathing is even optional half the time anyway)

How long will it be? Well I’m gonna tell you it will take the rest of your life to lose 11 pounds because doing that will KILL YOU.

When you want advice on what foods are good to eat after a run, if protein shakes are REALLY necessary, why peanut butter is so delicious, or if you should go for rye or whole-wheat bread, let me know.

Sorry this is so frank, but you need to know that this is not a good idea on any planet anywhere at all.

I will help you on a journey to eating better, exercising better.

But I won’t help you with this.

@ahealthierlexie

You’re so kind :) Thank you so much:D♥

Omg! I didn't have any clue you weren't white, either. Not that it matters, but gah girl! You're so pretty! Don't ever get down on yourself again.

@pregnantandfit

Hahaha I just think that’s really funny. I do that a lot though! I too often just kind of assume people are white. Or like in books? If the author doesn’t hint that the character is African or Hispanic or Arabic or Chinese, I will just kind of assume they are white.

Oh that’s so bad D:

Anyway, THANK YOU! Haha sorry for the tangent, I really do thank you so much for that, you’re so sweet:) I will do my best to be more confident and learn to love myself more :)♥
