"Do you have loose skin?" Yes "Does it bother you?" Also yes 🤷🏼‍♂️ These are the two questions I get asked often. The follow up is generally, "I'm afraid to lose weight because of the excess skin." If that's a worry you have, let me tell you some of the things I'm thankful for after losing 190 pounds. 🥰 * My feet don't hurt anymore. My joints aren't constantly sore. My blood pressure was dangerously high but now is healthy. My cholesterol is "textbook." I can run up a flight of stairs. My skin was so stretched it would rupture and bleed. I can cut my toe nails without it being a gymnastics routine. I don't have the compulsion to nap several times a day. 🥰 * A big one. I don't snore anymore! At nearly 400 pounds sleeping on my back caused difficulty breathing and even on my side I'd snore loudly and I was embarrassed about it. Snoring is hard on your heart, you don't sleep deeply, and it is a cause of high blood pressure. 😬 * Loose skin and stretch marks are just aesthetics. That's often hard for me to internalize. I'm thankful for my overall health changes, and when I get down on myself about things I remind myself of all the positives I've gained. Those positives help me to see myself differently and beyond the skin and marks. 🥰 * What are some of the positives you have?!? 😊 * * * * * * #moretome #selfcare #selfawareness #bodypositivity #bodypositive #wlstories #wlscommunity #wlstransformation #transformationthursday #bodypositivemovement @bodyimagemovement#bodypositivityforall #embraceyourself #extremeweightloss #extremeweightlossjourney #skincarecommunity #nedawareness @wlstories
My favorite ramen bowl recipe! Homemade ramen is easy to make and can be customized in the bowl so that everyone at the table can enjoy! It's a great meal to whip up fast or spend some time creating love in a bowl. 🌱 * Pulp from 1 roasted eggplant 1 medium onion - sliced 4 shittake mushrooms - sliced 1 Tbl minced ginger 4 cups veggie stock 2 cups water 15 oz can full fat coconut milk 2 tsp seasame oil 2 Tbl soy sauce 1 tsp curry powder * Brown the onion and mushrooms with the seasame oil. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. In a pot add 1 cup water, sliced carrots, broccoli florets, baby bok choy. Cover and simmer for 5 min. Add pureed mix and heat to a simmer. Add in Japanese ramen and cook until tender. Add cubed firm @morinutofu and garnished with cilantro and green onion. Enjoy! 🍜 * * * * * * #foodlove #noodles #sendnoods #ramenlover #noodlebowl #vegan #foodstyling #forksoverknives #foodstagram #foodie #foodiegram #foodlovers #foodgawker #letscookvegan #foodshare #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #whatveganseat #bestofvegan #thrivemags #nomnom #picoftheday #dietfood cuz really diet food is any food! #gettinghealthy #goodfood #instafood #eeeeeats @wlstories
Homemade chocolate bagels topped with @daiyafoods cream cheese, fresh raspberries, mint from my yard, and drizzled with agave. All the flavors! All the yum! 🌱 * Bagels made fresh using @feelgooddough. I used their vegan chocolate dry mix but used 3/4 cup water instead of the suggested cup. The rest of the instructions follow my bagel recipe on their website. 🥰 * Side note, I'm loving all the delicious @driscollsberry freshness lately! I keep seeing their Rose Strawberries posts but I can't find them here in Wisconsin! Help! Anyone out there found them yet?!? 🤷🏼‍♂️ * * * * * * #chocolovers #chocolove #chocoholic #bagels #veganchocolate #organicfood #veganaf #whatsonmyplate #raspberries #veganfoodshares #veganfoods #vegancheese #vegancomfortfood #foodstyle #breakfastideas @wlstories
“I hate this body. I wish it were different. I need to push it until it looks the way I think it should.” This is how most of us go into weight loss. Focused on the physical, thinking we need to change the way the world sees us. Not always consciously, but deep down. We often lose momentum and find the pitfalls that make us feel like failures, because we're so focused on our bodies and the way they look. Instead we need to say, “I appreciate my body. I want to make it my home. I love all the things it can do for me if I honor it.” This kind of mental adjustment is what creates the difference between losing weight and transforming your life. Weight loss isn’t about appearance at all, because we know deep down that there isn't and can't be physical perfection. We will always find more to change and "fix." 😕 * Today is #transformationtuesday, which, unfortunately, comes with a slew of side by side images attached to stock motivational key phrases like “If I can do it anyone can do it!" and, "I used to be miserable so I lost weight," or “no excuses!” And, the most damaging phrases that become the illusion: “I’m so happy now” and “everything is better.” 😑 * Help create a culture of healing and body positivity by carefully choosing the words you send out into the universe. Show off your proud milestones but don’t forget to be gentile with yourself. Honor yourself with your words. 🥰 * * * * * * * * #weightloss #loseit #moretome #trainandtransform #fitfam #weightlossmotivation #selfcare #bopo #weightlossjourney #inspiration #fitnessmotivation #bodypositivity #neda #instahealth #bodypositivemovement #weightlosscommunity #bodytransformation #progress #weightlossjourney #wlcommunity #fitinspiration #obesetobeast #wlstories #extremeweightlossjourney #wlstransformation #extremeweightloss @wlstories
