OOTD: Thankful at 30

One of the highlights of my year is my health and fitness journey. If you’ve all read a blog post I wrote last year about how unhealthy I started, I am proud to say that I am now on the path toward being healthier and better. The weight loss, right now, may have slowed down, but it’s because I’m gaining more muscle mass and I’ve become stronger.

OOTD: 8 Years & Counting

A lot has happened, not just in my blogging life, but also in my personal life. Blogging sure did change a lot of things for more and I learned a lot from doing it and from the people in the community. There have been ups and downs, but look at me still blogging after 8 crazy years.

FOTD: Sunsets in Summer

I used to dread going to the beach or a pool when it’s summer. Everyone seem so fit and beautiful and I used to feel so ugly around them. With their petite frame, cute bikinis and whatnot, I thought a summer body should be all about that and someone like me wasn’t fit to enjoy the beach the way they do. I would just wear a pair of shorts and a shirt because I feel like someone like me should wear only that or people would laugh and make fun of me.

But I said, “No more.”

“To being together,

To making things better.

To being with each other,

Whatever the weather.”

OOTD: Salty No More

I used to not want to take full accountability for my actions. I would often say it’s because of past experiences, it’s because someone hurt me so bad, or something made me not want to trust again. While it is true that those things have some sort of a contribution, it is still the present me who should be accountable for every decision and action I make and would be making.

OOTD: Going Back to Square One

Growing up, I needed to boost my confidence on my own or else my insecurities would eat me up. It hasn’t been an easy journey up to now. I keep talking about body love and confidence, but lately, I have let my insecurities get to me. It wasn’t easy to accept at first, to be honest. That is why it has really been awhile since I last posted something here. I felt shitty about everything and whenever I looked in the mirror, all I see is this fat and ugly hypocrite who will never be able to love her body ever.

Of course, that needed to change.
