Es lunes y tal vez aún no encuentras la inspiración para comenzar la dieta; así que hemos decidido traerte un ejemplo de dedicación y fuerza que te hará dar el primer paso hacia una vida saludable.

Ella es Meghan Gilbert, una joven de 21 años que siempre fue víctima de bullying en su escuela por su peso. La llamaban “gorda”, “muslos de trueno”, entre otras cosas horribles, lo que la llevó a ponerse en acción y hacer ejercicio.

“Odiaba mi cuerpo y todo sobre mí, por eso seguía comiendo porque llegó un momento que ya nada me importaba“,dijo la joven en una entrevista.

Meghan comía de todo en cantidades exageradas porque la comida curaba su ansiedad y depresión, sin saber que se estaba haciendo daño.

Con el paso del tiempo, Meghan decidió hacer algo y volverse a amar, por lo que cambió sus hábitos alimenticios y contrató a un entrenador personal que le ayudara a lograr su objetivo.

Ahora, Gilbert es una modelo fitness que comparte sus resultados en Instagram, donde inspira a sus 48 mil seguidores a mejorar su salud.

The girl on the left was 200 lbs of depression, anxiety, and sin. I was addicted to drugs and I partied every night. I woke up in the morning wanting to forget that I had to wake up this morning.. my life was just..sad. I hated every part of my body and being until I took one too many pills and sipped one too many drinks, waking up after 36 hours of straight sleep. Well, could be longer. When I woke up from my overdose, I saw my tattoo "walk by faith not by sight" and that's when I knew I wasn't doing life right. The Bible PREACHES LOVE! That's Jesus's commandment. So that's where I started. I loved myself. I loved the gym. I loved the hardship. I loved the pain and soreness. I loved the people around me. And most of all, I loved God. When you first start to lift weights and someone pushes you to go harder, most the time you say no I can't do that much! But then you try, and you get one Rep out. You think you can't do it, but in reality you can. It hurts. You build muscle by tearing it down… Same thing goes in life. You gain strength through hardship. You will always have gloomy times in your life, and what matters most is your mindset. Saying no, I can't do it and not trying. Or saying yes, I can do it. I will try. I won't give up, no matter how hard it is or how much it hurts. I trust You, God. After the pain and trials, you end up stronger. I started at a 5lb dumbell, and now I'm lifting a 25lb. It hurt when I first lifted that 5.. so bad. But I kept on going. To 10. It hurt. To 15. It hurt. The same goes for life. Trials are like God's gym. Building you up to prepare for what is to come next. ❤️ 80 lbs downs plus a gained mindset of strength and endurance. Clean for 2 years and one month 😊😊😊😊😊🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

P A T I E N C E I S K E Y //(this picture isn't near my biggest, I gained about 40 pounds after this. Pic was in 2011) I think the reason why I couldn't stick to a diet or workout is because I wanted IMMEDIATE results. I wanted a magic workout or pill or diet. I wanted to be lazy. After I was sore, I thought I needed weeks of rest and made the excuse that I couldn't walk. THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE!!! If you're sore you go fix it at the gym and drink some aminos. You don't hurt so bad you hurt so GOOD. Change your mindset. Write motivational quotes all over your room and bathroom. change your screensaver. I didn't learn patience till I found God. God is my every day motivation to push and keep going. Surround yourself with people who make you better. Friendsgiving and thanksgiving was fun but today I made a NO SODA rule. I don't care who you are, sodas are not allowed through my door of my house. If you keep pushing, so will the people around you. If you get motivated, you will motivate others. Don't just do this for yourself. Do it for GOD and for all of your brothers and sisters in Christ who need motivation. Stop just watching my story but put it to use and start to create your own! Tag someone who needs this extra push. 😙 I believe in you!

TAGSOMEONE! Long post but worth the read The left was me junior year in highschool when I was 170lbs, 30 pounds lighter than I was my senior year. I hated shopping. I owned only a few different clothing items because I did not want to see my self in the dressing room mirror. Every time I did, I would cry. I hated everything about myself, so much that I had no self respect and started popping pills at the age of 15. Eating disorders took over my life. I grew up in an environment where fast food was normal and exercise didn't matter. When college came, I didn't care about my life at all. Maybe my partying and drug use was a cry for help.. binging slowly starting turning into starving because I'd rather spend my money on pills. I wouldn't eat for days. I was sick. In April 2015, I had a week without food and only drugs and alcohol. I was blacked out the entire time.. I woke up on my floor after sleeping for over 30 hours and I saw the tattoo on my foot that says walk by faith not by sight. That was the moment when everything changed. I left Texas state and moved back in with my parents for a few months where they watched my eating and made sure I learned to eat again. I got a trainer and learned how to lift. I started to find pages that inspired me to love myself (@getfitjules and @tk_line09). I also followed pages like @gymgirlvideos so I could study workouts! Do RESEARCH! I found strength through God. I focused on Him, and He taught me to love myself. When I learned to love myself no matter how I looked, I wanted to workout and eat healthy to take care of my body. Life started to become precious… I've been clean for 23 months, and now am healthy sitting at 121 pounds. If you read through all of this, just know to not give up. There is so much bad in the world but YOU can be the light. I'm just a normal girl.. Can you imagine if we made a chain reaction? Post your journey. inspire others. They will inspire you right back. Let's make this a movement. HASHTAG #MTV8NMOVEMENT on your pictures so i can see and watch your progress. Over time I'll do some giveaways to those who are really trying and active in this challenge. Please do this for me. 💚
