Hello! My name is Tatiana, I am so exited to be sharing this journey with you! So let’s go back to July 10th, 2020, where I decided to change my life, I will truly never know how to thank my 14 year old self who took that decision and lived never to regret it. On that day, I looked at myself in the mirror feeling ashamed of what I saw, I saw a girl who was treating her body like shit, I was eating about 3 chocolate bars a day, big food portions, and never got off of the couch unless it meant getting more food. So I looked myself dead in the eyes and started crying. But then I had this spark in my eyes, this bright idea, and told myself :”it all ends here!” So i went to my mom and told her I wanted to go to the dietitian and feel like a brand new person. So, on July 15th, we went there and they measured my body, took my weight, fat percentage and all of that, and sadly enough we went to her office and she told me:” I’m here to help you, but if you want me to, I need you to do me a favor and take care of your body.” The words have stuck with me ever since. I was 80.6 kgs and had never felt worst! And that’s when I stared working hard, walking 10,000 steps a day eating healthy and not even thinking about eating sugar. Sure, it was hard but I had a clean mindset.( do something now that your future self will thank you for.) So I worked hard and tried my hardest to fight through the tough times, and felt proud! All the people I had known told me that I’m losing weight and FAST so obviously that made me want to work just as hard! So in 1 month I lost 4kgs!!! And the second month 2.5 kgs and I kept pushing! now through all of this I had bad days, days where I wanted to eat the biggest bowl of ice cream, days where I wouldn’t want to walk a lot, and days where I felt like giving up. But did that stop me? NO it didn’t because when you surround yourself with people that build you up and encourage you every step of the way, you know you have it in you. And the biggest lesson I learned from this experience is that you can be your BIGGEST enemy sometimes. And that’s my story! I’m still on this process and I’ve realized that I’m doing this for myself and myself only! So please if you have any doubts in yourselves please realize that you CAN and you WILL do it!! It’s all you baby!
