This is a self motivation blog. A place where I can vent, rant and express feeling about this journey. I know I have a long way to go,but I am determined to do it. I am just going to take things step by step.

And yes, some celebrity or other may have lost weight doing it that one time before she had to wear that swimsuit for that one thing. But unless you’re going to live on cayenne pepper and lemonade for the rest of your life, just give yourself a break and take it slow! <em>D</em><em>on’t stress so much over the little things! </em></p> <p>Weight loss is a journey, and not an easy one. And it requires a lot of effort. But it shouldn’t consume you in a negative way! As long as you’re keeping your tummy happy with nutritional foods, moving your feet, pushing yourself, and remembering to take time to relax and love yourself, you <em>will </em>eventually see results. I wish that I could give you a philosopher’s stone or a magic potion that would get your body “bikini ready,” but sadly, there’s just no such thing. Just hang in there, stay strong, and don’t be afraid to reach out to your fellow fitblrs!</p> </blockquote>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/43023002841http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/43023002841Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:03:37 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md82pe17xA1ryugvbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/43007590178http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/43007590178Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:36:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzt6nzajV11r6u05ro1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42864497736http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42864497736Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:57:43 -0500http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42782688744http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42782688744Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:14:28 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e48fad0a892520ea5afcb39963379fe2/tumblr_mi0h8wlA6R1qhq5w7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42760420854http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42760420854Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:43:32 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5aa0c351ac6f4bea1b6ca232484ff944/tumblr_mgp546sZK01rl4qtco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757729454http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757729454Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:05:15 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m93f6n83wG1rxilsio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757466064http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757466064Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:01:15 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/da19604570e21afd41ce6f02b909bbee/tumblr_mhiy5qONGr1rxilsio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757355463http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42757355463Sun, 10 Feb 2013 10:59:43 -0500http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42664024217http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42664024217Sat, 09 Feb 2013 09:23:37 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4133758d7921c4ca901259b16da2706b/tumblr_mhbr0aptvd1s4r7g4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42515472969http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42515472969Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:34:54 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/497ee1f076ec1e716af16b5436f7ebd8/tumblr_mhes2jkIOf1rez477o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://iamthinandstrong.tumblr.com/post/41814304388" target="_blank">iamthinandstrong</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Eat healthy and workout! </p> </blockquote>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213464812http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213464812Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:29:44 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0f92c6abb63515571abd0b090b1690d7/tumblr_mhkjxe7A0Z1s1amlko1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213393671http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213393671Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:28:55 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/543e9b49717119e7b345c4ccd87bb253/tumblr_mg84ddDoTH1rluhrxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213345960http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42213345960Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:28:22 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6g360XS711rytggto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212344280http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212344280Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:17:05 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/98e5afc4051de8bc235f7a2508a18e2c/tumblr_mhap1bp9Om1qhzswvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212313513http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212313513Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:16:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbifd9WZP71riuppio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://10000steps.tumblr.com/post/41998538705/and-fat" target="_blank"><span class="GingerNoCheckStart"></span>10000steps</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>And fat</p> </blockquote> <p><span class="GingerNoCheckEnd"></span></p>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212285015http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212285015Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:16:28 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/263135ba93f1d0457996c2b7a4dab26b/tumblr_mhmdq6LllF1r1csjlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212100337http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42212100337Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:14:23 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcas08XVix1rxo9w5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42187895608http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42187895608Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:51:03 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m651ucRZRo1ry6151o1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42042863758http://tothethin.tumblr.com/post/42042863758Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:53:20 -0500
