My name is Kiersten and this is my story.
As a child and a teenager, society viewed me a fat, ugly and a joke.
I always had a issue with weight...
Many days I would cry...
I tried eating right. Working out. Tried weight loss pills. Tried not eating seemed like nothing worked. Even cutting to help. (don't do it ok)
I got called... You know, something terrible.
Whale
Pig
Fatty
Ugly... and more...
But one day I decided, if I changed the way I look at things, I could change the way I look!!
It just clicked for me. I knew I couldn't go on in life the way I was. So... in January of 2012 began the start of my weight loss journey. I was 13 years old, 5 feet tall and I weighed a shocking 228 pounds. I struggle to walk without breathing heavy. I was called fat, ugly, a whale, a waste of skin, it seemed as though the bullying would never end. Kids at my school told me I could never lose the weight, people even went up to my parents asking them what they were feeding me. But through all this, my parents and my sister supported me and love me unconditionally. For this, I am forever grateful.
I was never healthy or skinny.
I always felt like the odd one out.
But I always fit in with my family. No matter where I was... I am blessed for them.
No matter what I looked like I felt loved and supported.
Just after January of 2012 I realized, it was time to stop saying and start doing. By the end of summer 2012, I had lost around 35-40 pounds, juts by eating healthy and going for walks. I was shocked at whay my body could do, what I could do!
I wasn't perfect... but I was proud of the things I was starting to accomplish.
I started to feel more comfortable with myself.
As I grew older, I grew wiser. I educated myself on physical fitness. I started to go to the gym 2-3x's a week and I tried different types of sport that I wasn't capable of trying before. Soon, my confidence began to grow. My clothes fit better, I was slowly losing weight. This is made me so happy and it motivated me to keep going. :)
Then I found my passion... weightlifting. It changed my outlook on life.
I started smiling a lot more...
I finally had a feeling of accomplishment. Once people started to see my transformation, the bullying slowly started to stop. No longer did I hear their hurtful words like "pig" or a "whale" but they began to see me as a girl that was determined to PROVE them WRONG!
Before and after photos started to become something I took pride in...
I found Instagram which allowed me to inspire others to reach their goals.
Weightlifting started transforming my body.
Confidence started to make me, FEEL BEAUTIFUL!!
Every week there was progress. It pushed me to keep going...
Looking at where I started, makes me never want to go back.
Every day on my journey is a new adventure...
Now in 2016, I have lost close to 100 lbs from where I started. I completely transformed my body and I am keeping the weight off. I wouldn't change any of the bullying that happened to me, the pain I felt and the tears I cried. All of that maed me who I am today, a strong, confident, motivated young woman who is determined to inspire others to accomplish their goals in life.
I am nowhere near finished...
Remember...
"You can feel sore tomorrow or you can feel sorry tomorrow. You choose"...
I hope I have inspired you to accomplish your goals.
