Hi Healthy Ashley readers!
My name is Stacey and I'd like to share my proudest moment with you all!
When I was just out of high school I became so obsessed with my
weight. I would constantly pinch and pull at the pudge that I thought
exsisted around my stomach..sometimes without even noticing I was
doing so. I put myself on a very restrictive diet: no desserts,
nothing but water to drink, no snacking, no eating past 7...well, you
get the point :)
This, of course, only resulted in my binge-eating three days later. I
ate everything that I had restricted myself from and after going
through this redundant eating habit for six months, I decided that I
didn't want eat or live that way anymore! I went into nutrition
program at school (graduate in one more year!!), I started viewing
exercise as something that should be enjoyable. SELF magazine became
my bible and I slowly learned how to eat healthier and still allow
myself a treat.
Living life is about allowing yourself a break every once in a while,
enjoying that second piece of cake or even conquering a mountain on a
bike ride with your honey (as seen in the photo above!) :) Learning
now to beat myself up about everything that I was eating, and just
trusting myself and my lifestyle to guide me the right way is my
proudest moment.
I have never been happier or more healthy!!
