Here's my story

Hi everyone,

My name is Sharolyne, I am a 20 year old nutrition major who loves to bake and loves to hit the gym. Well the point of this blog is to help girls and guys as well to feel confident about themselves; I hope to achieve this by posting progress pictures, fitness tips, some healthy recipes and of course my delicious sweets (for cheat day of course!) See me I've struggled with insecurity, most people don't even notice I do a pretty good job hiding it lol. But since the age of 9 is when it all started my best friend's step dad would make fun of my belly, my best friend has always been thinner than me. When I hit 17 and I started noticing that my breast were too small, my bum wasn't big enough and my waist wasn't small enough I started to get depressed all over. I began obsessing over my appearance but only to make it worse because I just began to eat and eat more just causing me to gain more weight. And you know what would suck is that after I would be so upset with myself that I would lock myself up in the bathroom look at myself in the mirror and just cry for hours; I even had thoughts of becoming bulimic or smoking cigarettes because I heard it'll help me lose weight or to try diet pills. I am so glad I didn't take that route, a year and a half later I told myself I would learn to love myself and I would do it the right way so I joined my first gym, Lucile Roberts and I started making better food choices, I even changed my major from business to nutrition because that's how passionate I am about making a difference. I still am a work in progress; till this day I am struggling with body issues and insecurities. I still find myself wanting to take the easy way out by getting surgery or something but I am not, I believe I can do this. I often tend to fall off my gym routine and choose poor food choices, I am human it happens. But the point of this blog is to help motivate you to get in shape and feel great about yourself and I know that with helping others it would me stay motivated. Thank you for reading and lets get confident, this is a journey for both!
