****MUST READ LADIES***** JOURNEY TO HAPPINESS. Overcoming depression and weight loss

During the first pictures (Jan 2017 - Aug 2017) I was depressed. I had no friends because I decided to drop the negative people in my life. Little did I know, one of the negative people in my life was my boyfriend, not necessarily him but our relationship was toxic and had enough of itself. We were together for 3 years and after 3, we were on and off so many times and I decided to end things in August before I left for college ...

150 pounds

Little by little.. I started making new friends and making sure I was happy. I loved it up for the first semester. I learned so much about myself and why I was depressed because at the time I didn’t know why. Neither did my counselor. I realized my happiness had to be put first, I learned to be myself and not do anything to make anyone happy. I learned that if someone doesn’t give you the time of day, they don’t deserve you. I learned to be respected and to stop comparing my beauty to other females beauty.... and while I was spending time focusing on myself I met the man of my dreams and we’ve been talking for about 3 months and it’s probably been the best 3 months of my life...

During these first 5 months of college I’ve lost 15 pounds just by putting my happiness first. No diet and no exercise....

135 pounds

I am so proud of myself... I’ve grown as a person so early. I am still overcoming depression. But my man makes me the happiest I’ve been in a long time... I wish I could help insecure young ladies and I hope this helps a little bit.

Life is to short to impress others and to settle for less.. be who you are, wear what you want to wear, pierce what you wanna pierce because you’ll never get the chance to. Once you realize how fast dead people are forgotten, you’ll stop living to please others. Don’t let any guy treat you than anything less of what you are.. you ARE a queen and should be treated as one, you may not know this but our bodies are so powerful!!! Girl power! You deserve respect, attention, care and all the chocolate and roses that exist!!!!

And ladies, stop comparing your beauty to their females beauty. No one flower is the same.. a rose could never be a sunflower... but they’re both beautiful, right?
