To all who think that I’ve always been the way I look now, here’s a little bit from my past. The difference between the picture on the left and the picture of the right is the lack of loving myself. I used to believe that taking care of myself over others was selfish and wrong. I would eat a salad and maybe a piece of fruit and on other days binge eat a bunch of crappy food because of my depression, then I would go to the gym and hop on a cardio machine for an hour or an hour and a half. There was no fuel in my life and yes, it’s entirely possible to gain weight from not eating. Not everyone gets “skinny” from starving themselves, some people have the case of gaining weight and looking bloated. I still struggle with eating on some days, but it’s much much better than it ever was. Recently, I found out that I have an issue with my thyroid and cortisol levels. About a month ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis which is a condition when your immune system attacks your thyroid causing all kinds of issues. I thank God every day that I was able to find out sooner rather than later! Getting back to normal has been a process and takes time but I’m thankful for having modern day medicine and having something that has a cure. Change and progress don’t happen overnight but it can definitely happen faster when you put your mind and your heart into it through the help of God and a positive light ❤️ !
