I am a fashion photographer who finally had a reality check.

I am a pro at avoiding mirrors, I can almost apply my makeup without needing to see myself. When you can't stand the sight of yourself because of what you've allowed yourself to become, it's time to stop lying to yourself.

I am 26 years old and finally on a journey to become healthier, which includes slimming up. I am taking baby steps, for each 25lbs I lose, I am granted an award, for every 10lbs I gain, I lose something I care for until it is lost with the addition of losing 1 EXTRA pound.

I'm tired ya'll, the fat is NOT attractive, it's heavy when I try to get out of the bed and it isn't healthy. So walk with me, talk with me and most of all SPARK me.
