Recently, in the media, you may have seen a lot of people latching onto the bandwagon of eating healthier, or meal prepping. Looking into healthier eating habits and with some help, I can say I have been following a stricter eating habit and going steady at the gym for the past three weeks now and I have lost 12lbs up to this date. Most people that are following this healthier eating habit may say they are doing it to lose weight or to just follow a trend, perhaps?

I can say from my experience the past few weeks it has changed me mentally and physically. I know I am not an obese person, but when I looked in the mirror I was not completely satisfied with what I was seeing. In my eyes, I want to see more than just okay. I want to be the best version of me from the inside out. Therefore, if that means I cannot eat Chick Fil A twice a week, then sadly I won't. As long as I become a better version of me.

You might ask why am I doing this? Or what is the purpose? The reason I am doing this is for me. I am wanting to push myself and be able to control what I put into my body because let's face it, this summer bod won't happen overnight.

Being this healthier version of myself the past few weeks has put a different perspective on how I value not only my body but myself as a whole. I know I have only been doing this for a short time now and I haven't progressed too far, but I do look forward to seeing more changes to come from this. I know if I can do it, anyone can!
