Lifestyle Makeover: Dear Future Self

Dear Future Self,

[I hope I'm not premature in saying this, but] you're welcome.  It has been a lot of hard work, but I'm sure standing in your stilettos and gorgeous 1-digit-sized outfits feels amazing.  It totally should for all I've put into it!  I will ask you though, please don't let all this hard work go to waste.  Really, it's not fun sitting where you [were] at "now."

No one has outwardly judged you at this weight, but you have done a lot of judging of yourself.  Rightfully so, I suppose, but it's hard to be the best version of yourself and grow into a better [future] wife & [eventual] mother if you don't take care of yourself.  Just like you'd want to keep Nick, your family, and friends around forever, [most days] they want to keep you around, too!

If you've hit a slump, or are stuck trying and trying to get rid of those last few pounds, fear not - LOOK HOW FAR YOU'VE COME ALREADY!!!  You got this, ok?  I didn't give up pasta and candy for this long for you to give up now!

Now, go get your butt to the gym, do a quick ab workout, and think about how phenomenal you look after all your hard work!  Be this girl:
