A Healthier Me: 12 Month Weight loss Update

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022by Olivia18 Comments

I can’t even believe I am writing my 12 month weight loss update. A whole 12 months of hard work and dedication. I can’t believe I have got to this point. I dreamt of the day that I got to write a 12 month update here on my blog. Losing weight always felt so impossible for me. I had so many things working against me, but here I am. Living proof that if I can do it, so can you. And I know its so cliche and so many people who lose weight say this, but I have made this my life. I love working out and eating good food. I can’t see my life being any other way.

A Healthier Me: 10 Month Update

January 11, 2022January 11, 2022by Olivia19 Comments

I cannot quite believe that my 10 month update has come around so quickly. In one way time has gone so fast and in others it has gone so slow. I started this journey back in April 2021, without any idea how long I would be going for. Looking back at pictures and videos of myself back then is almost like looking at a stranger. I have no idea who that person was. I definitely think this weight-loss and fitness journey has been the best decision I have ever made.

Something I noticed during my weight loss journey is how people treated me different after losing weight. As many of you know, I have been on my fitness journey now for nearly 9 months. I have had to continuously learn better eating habits without letting old habits creep back in. And throughout this journey I have learnt so much about myself and who I am.

If you’ve been around for the last 7 months you will know I have been on a journey to become a healthier me. Meaning I completely changed my eating habits and lifestyle habits too. I have been updating and documenting my changes on my blog since the time I started and its so crazy to go back and see how far I have come in such a short amount of time. It’s rare I go into much personal detail on my blog anymore, just for privacy reasons but something like this I am more than happy to share with the world in hopes it inspires others to change their lives.

My Weight Loss Journey: Losing 22 Pounds

June 22, 2021June 22, 2021by Olivia50 Comments

For the longest time I have wanted to start my own weight loss journey, but there was always something stopping me. “I’ll start on Monday” or “I can’t do it this week because I’m on holiday.” I’m sure alot of you can relate to those statements. There was always something stopping me from doing it, even though I knew I needed to. After the 3rd lockdown in England, I really tried my hardest to do what I could to get healthier. Both physically and mentally. I went for 2 walks a day, I tried intermittent fasting and I just kept on gaining weight. I really struggled with body image.

Things You Shouldn’t Feel Bad About in Life

January 19, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia46 Comments

One thing I really dislike about society now-a-days is how it makes you feel bad. It makes you feel bad if you’re not slim enough, if you don’t earn X amount of money etc. Society makes you feel you’re not successful or you’re behind everyone else if you’re going at a different pace. Social media has a huge play in this because you constantly see everyone online buying houses, having babies and getting married. Its a natural and human thing to think, well why am I not there yet? There are so many things in life you shouldn’t feel bad about. And this post is your reminder.

Tips To Help You Stay Positive Through Your Weight-loss Journey

September 10, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia24 Comments

[Guest Post]

Hello, my name is Gabrielle Beverly and I am the author of “The Gabby Diaries” I am 29 years old, and I am a Capricorn. My hobbies include writing, sketching, blogging, reading, listening to music and podcasts, and binge-watching anything at this point.
My passion in life is to help other individuals understand, and learn how to cope with their mental illness. On my blog, I talk about topics dealing with overall health, both physical and mental. I also talk about the importance of self-care, and how my faith and spiritual growth has helped me on my journey of self-love and self-discovery.

I guess my journey originally started back in high school. Growing up, I was the chunky kid. The funny thing about it, I never got bullied for being plus size. Crazy as it seems, it’s the truth. Everything else that I was bullied for, my weight was never an issue. As I got older, I learned so much from my health class, and my P.E. teacher at the time. Then, I also learned from family, friends, and a group called SistaKeepers, that I need to learn to love myself first. Not only has this been a journey about losing weight, this has also been a journey of learning to love myself more, self-discovery, and self-care.
