Swipe to see the difference. My mental health has seriously struggled these past few months. From being morbidly obese, to losing 330lbs and competing at Summer Shredding, to immediately gaining almost 25lbs in 2 months after the competition, my mental health is struggling. Just being real y’all. ———————————— I spent 24+ years trying to lose weight. Literally, 24 years, I’ve went to clinics, pediatricians, medical weightloss teams, nutritionist, and tried every other weightloss pill/diet hack I could find. I had VSG in April of 2019, which with diet and exercise, helped me lose 330lbs. In October of 2021, I decided to compete in the Summer Shredding Transformation Class. I got down to a weight I NEVER dreamed was possible. And guess what I heard then; ”you look too skinny...” or “you need to cut the loose skin and THEN, you’ll look good.” Fast forward to now, I am back to a healthy weight and feel physically incredible, but now the comments of “You’re gaining your weight back, just make sure to not gain it all back, you don’t wanna end up like you were.” are creeping in. ———————————— Yes. I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m in a bulk. Yes, it’s mentally harder than anything I’ve had to do because everything inside me is screaming, “you worked so hard, don’t undo what you worked your ass for..” but I know that December will be here before you know it. The bulk will be over and the cut begins. (Oh and ps, I’m still gonna wear my stringers, cutoff, and hoochie daddy shorts. 😂) . . . . . #youngla #teamyoungla #vsg #looseskin #legday #weightlosstransformation #300lbslost #msslwht #aesthetic #bodypositivity #gymbro #determination
