UNAPOLOGETICALLY THICK AND FIT

So I liiiiiiive for being thick (cue the shower of peach emojis), but I hated being unfit. And I also continually hate how we live in a world where everyone thinks they know what a healthy body looks like. In May of 2017, did a 30-day challenge with Fitness Genes to help me get my life right, and it has truly changed me from the inside out. So I'm out here reppin' hard for my ladies of team #ThickGirlNation to show what being thick and healthy looks like, and to share everything I'm learning as I'm continuing to get my life right!

Within this blog you will find a wide variety of posts/personal essays that not only provide practical diet & exercise tips, but that also show how sustainable weight management starts with building the strength of your spirit.

Girl... Don't Do It™

But after starting a new fitness program, and learning more about what it meant to eat healthy, she learned that there were many “healthy” foods that were actually negatively impacting her results. So Girl... Don't Do It is her food review series where she digs into trendy health foods to see if they are a “YAAASS QUEEN” or a “Girl… Don’t Do It!
