“Motivation is easy. Consistency is not.”🤦🏻‍♀️ When I first lost 80lbs I was motivated by the fear of my declining health and ultimately the love for my family ❤️who depends on me. My wake up call was my doctor telling me I was pre-diabetic, high cholesterol and triglycerides, sleep apnea and was lethargic in comparison to just a few years prior. I started implementing working out regularly, eating healthier and eventually adopted a fully #wholefoodplantbased diet and am #vegan til this day. 🌱 I’m proud of how far I’ve come but I know I have more goals to accomplish. 💪🏽 There are days I lack the focus and motivation to workout. Physical improvements are obvious to others but no one will ever know the inner struggles and how far you have come along mentally and emotionally. There is no before and after picture for that. 2018 was the hardest year of my life to date. While everyone was clapping for my weight loss, I was also deeply grieving several losses that weighed heavy on my soul — from my grandfather passing away to one of my best friend’s who tragically ended her life to losing my life savings at the time to a bad business decision. 😩 I would be lying to say that I am completely healed from that rollercoaster 🎢 but I am in a place where I am self-aware and at peace. We don’t often talk about our “problems” on social media. We like to highlight what makes us happy and whole so I wanted to take a moment to share... wherever you are in your journey, be gentle with yourself. Your trauma is not your responsibility but your healing is... so take all the time you need to process your pain. Passionate people feel deeply. We love deeply and we hurt deeply. It’s the duality of having a nurturing heart. 😭 So while I share this, know that while I was losing all this weight it was also the only thing that helped me feel sane during a time I was also in deep pain. 💔 Give yourself grace as you navigate your wellness journey because it’s not all bubble baths and face masks. There are a lot of ups and downs. Real transformation happens from the inside out. ☺️ Thank you to thebeet and anikasnayak for sharing a glimpse into my #wellnessjourney. 🖋 #linkinbio

I’ll never forget the time an old boss called me “annoyingly optimistic.” Now I’m my own boss at jlpr. 😂 #sorrynotsorry #happythoughts #happylife #mindset #message #girlboss
