Everyone’s journey is different. Here’s a powerful story about a woman who decided she needed to lose a few pounds. Lisa started out at a healthy weight of 138 pounds. She shrunk down to skin and bones, then ballooned up to nearly 200 pounds.

I highly recommend you take a look at Prior Fat Girl’s blog. The pictures alone will make you reconsider your own struggle with weight. Five years later, Lisa weighs in at 136 pounds. Years of struggle to lose two pounds.

So read her story and realize how important it is to love yourself no matter what weight you are. You may not be your ideal size, but you can work on being your ideal self.

What's your story?
