We all have Doubters! It's up to you to prove them wrong!!!!

THE HARDEST

LIFT OF ALL IS

LIFTING YOUR

BUTT OFF THE

COUCH.

Did you work out today? How many of you got off the couch? Don't let your doubters get to you.

"Remember there will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes but with hard work there is no limit." -Unknown

When I decided to change my life around, I started to take control over my body by exercising and eating healthier. Everyone doubted me! They would say, "You love food to much, you can't do it." They didn't doubt me because they didn't have faith in me but because they thought I wasn't ready for the commitment.

No matter what you do in life you will always have doubters. But what people don't tell you is that you have to prove them wrong. You have to let me know that, "Today is my tomorrow. It is up to me to shape it, to take control and seize every opportunity. The power is in the choices I make each day. I eat well, I live well. I shape me :)." - I shape Tumblr

As of today, I can say with a big smile on my face, I did it! I won the challenge! I lost 6 pounds because I took control of my body. Food does not own me. "Remember the food you eat can either be the safest and the most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." -Unknown

Take control of your body today before it’s too late. Remember the only way to prove doubters wrong is my doing what they say you couldn't do!

I can finally say that change is going to be good. I have been telling myself as well as others that I was going to change my life around because I wasn't happy with myself. But I guess you don't start to realize that complaining gets you nowhere. I keep pushing back the date to when I will start my diet. But there are no more excuses, I have purchased Herbal Life and I will start my diet.

I am starting a diet challenge with a product called Herbal Life. During the challenge I will not be allowed to eat the way I used to. I will have to detox my body to get used to the product by not eating food for an entire week.  Although that might sound horrible its actually not so bad. I am just allowing my body to get used to the new product by detoxing it.

Many of you might be thinking why is she doing this? She looks good. As much as you guys may say I do its not just about looking good it’s about feeling great and being healthy to live a longer healthy life. I am tired of people saying you look great when I don't feel great. I want to do this for myself, I want to look in the mirror or scale and be like yes finally I am satisfied.

When I received this picture this afternoon, I began to tell myself "OMG you’re gonna die." All weekend I have been trying to prepare myself knowing that this challenge might be the hardest thing I have to deal with. I think you don't realize how hard it is until it’s actually about to happen. As I was telling everyone that I was going to do it, I started to panic like dude how are you going to do this? Look who you hang out with everyone eats the things you like and cannot eat anymore. So I started thinking of ways to back out in my challenge but none of it made sense.

As I sent a text to my friend "I told her I am going to die." She goes why? "I told her I don't know if I can do this she said I am going to do it with you."  I started to text her "Thank you baby Jesus" but then I told her "I gotta eat my last greasy meal." I wanted my last meal to be the most amazing food I had in a while so I thought why not Popeye’s. After all my dreaming of Popeye’s, my last real meal I ate was a burger from Elevation and fries. I guess that was considered greasy being that it’s an organic burger, not.

About Me

I am strong,

I am worthy,

I am beautiful,

I am imperfect,

I AM ME.

Sometimes I think we get so caught up in what society wants us to look like instead of the image we were created to be, ourselves.  I will not be like everyone else, I will be different.

My journey first started when I became depressed and decided to comfort myself with food. I started to gain weight in my stomach, couldn't fit my favorite pair of jeans and was completely stressed. I started to stare at myself in the mirror and cry. I was treating my body like I didn't care about myself.  I had the impression that it was okay to eat everything even if I knew it was bad for me. I became self-conscious and had low self-esteem to where I would try not to take photos of myself. The more I became depressed the more I took it out on myself. I would eat at 2 or 3 in the morning just so I could make myself feel comfortable but all I was doing was letting myself go by not caring. I would walk around school or work and feel like everyone is staring at me because I was gaining weight. It got so bad that people started asking if I was pregnant because I gained so much weight.

But today is the beginning of transforming myself to live a better life for me. Food can either help you or break you. Being healthy is not just an easier way to live but also a lifestyle that will help you live years from now. Making that change isn't easy but just know that in life there will always be trials and tribulations but with faith anything is possible.

My name is Sade Gonzalez, I am beautiful and being healthy makes me happy.
