like any normal person,
i struggled with my weight
i remember weighing 116 pounds at 16
but having a pretty much on the go fast food diet
especially when i got to college.
i gained the weight that
everyone gains when they begin
a new relationship
and at one point hit 170 pounds,
though people don't like to believe me. I have proof.
what i wish i had known was
how to treat my body better
and how to FEED my body better.
it craved nourishment and i didn't know.
the photo way above was me in January 2010...
i'm just going to leave this tiny.
2006. 160 pounds i would say...
no health problems EVER!
always active, working, on the go..
my diet could have been way better!
was on birth control...
stopped that right after this photo was taken
because it was making me way too sick.
i had no idea about cleansing and detoxes,
or anything of the sort.
i ate when i was hungry and the food
was never nutrient dense.
(above taken January 2010)
i don't like showing bikini photos to anyone
but i feel as if this proves a point.
someone "fat" can be totally healthy
someone "skinny" can be totally sick.
ironically, i was gaining weight before
i was diagnosed.
sometimes i think the diagnosis was wrong.
everyone's got cancer cells inside them every day
but they "got me" and scared me.
also ironically, i had an pneumonia,
which made me lose weight
pretty much the second before they diagnosed me.
i was around 140 pounds in november 2012.
healthy, happy. eating great food that was good for me.
who knew?
still 140 pounds.
^ during chemo and right before stem cell transplant...
a steady 136 pounds the whole time going through chemo...
because of the steroids and the fact that they wouldn't allow me fruits or vegetables.
at all.
^ and finally,
feeling happy and healthy again
128 pounds, 6 months post stem cell transplant
finally having learned the wonders of detox,
back to my regular food routine
and wanting to learn more.
so do your research
your body is your temple
we are just energy in this shell
but how will you spread your positive energy
if you're sick?
love me,
the globetrotting gamine
