The 1st day of my rebirth into the lifestyle of Raw Veganism!

Good Morning World,

I woke up in a great mood, such a great mood I almost cleaned my whole apartment lol! For the last couple of months I have been in a place of my life where my weight was the only thing I could think of. I literally obsessed over losing weight, every minute of every hour. I set a goal to compete in a figure competition this year and in order to compete I knew I woul have to lose at least 50-55lbs. Just knowing that I had to lose weight really started to bog me down emotionally. I would work my butt off in the gym only for the scale to say I gained 5lbs or lost 0lbs. You name it, I have tried it. Thermogenics, diets, working out hours on top of hours, eating a certain amount of calories, weight watchers. Nothing seemed to work! Then I had an epiphany yesterday. I have not been living life to the fullest because I have only been thinking about weight. There are so many people in the world who would trade places with me if there only worry was weight. I realized there is so much to be thankful for everyday I breath life. I think one story can sum it up for why I decided to live life instead of thinking about what I needed to change about myself.

Yesterday I went to this health food store and as I was leaving this woman yelled "Excuse me", and I thought " Oh great what did I leave at the register." But she started asking me about my locks and how I maintained my hair. And as our conversation came to an end she advised " You are so beautiful, inside and out." And as we went our separate ways I realized all a long I could not see in myself what a stranger could see through only talking for a few minutes. It clicked that I am beautiful inside and out but I have to first see it in order for the glory to shine through on the outside. 

With that being said, I decided to go back to the Raw Vegan Lifestyle because just the thought of it makes me smile. I makes me smile to know that through this journey I am bettering my health emotionally, physically and spiritually. Please join me into my journey of changing my life and hopefully motivating you to take a moment to ask yourself what steps can I take to improve my life.


Have a blessed day!!!
