Same Bikini - 2 Different People
OVERALL RATING
The top photos are my starting pics...... The person in that bikini is someone I don't really recognize, even though it was only 12 weeks ago. When people have seen those photos they say I look really miserable. And they're right. I was completely broken and lost. I prayed that something would come into my life that could save me from continuing to go down a destructive road that surely wasn't going to end well. I hated myself and the person I saw when I looked in the mirror. Now the person in the same bikini in the pics below is someone that is proud of herself, has self love and feels she deserves to truly be happy, and is HAPPY. I want to pay it forward and plan to use this experience to be there for other individuals that feel they are not worth it. During this competition I had a community online that reached out to me and took the time to send words of encouragement, share their struggles and tell me how I have inspired them in some beautiful way. Inspired someone? Me? I did not think that this competition would bring an outreach of support that it has. I have had people reach out and ask me to be a motivational coach for goals they want to accomplish. What an honour and it is something that I don't take lightly, I feel very grateful.
