Meet Classy Fit Gal ~ Tanya

I can start this story from a lot of places so I will just let it flow. 

I have been overweight majority of all my life as far as I can remember. I was the shapeliest girl in grade school. I say shapeliest because my curves at that age were developed before I grew into them. In high school my weight wasn't my concern. As I got into my adult years when I would visit my family in Jamaica the first question they would ask me was "how I got so big" like they didn't know that food was the problem. 

I tried everything you can think of to lose weight, slim fast, weight watchers, LA Weight Loss, Jenny Craig!!! You name it I was on that on that bandwagon. I can honestly say I was comfortable enough in my body to waste my money on all those things. 

I have had a couple breaking points but I took none of them seriously! One stands out in particular though. I was at an amusement park and wanted to sit next to the people I came with on a rollercoater. I couldn't because the row of seats didn't have the "big" seat. You would think that would have been a wake up call but it wasn't. 

Fast forward to present. I didn't really have a wake up call to lose weight. I was turning 30 and just wanted to "look different ". I wanted to cross off some of the "I have nevers" off my list!! Like I have never worn a two-piece. I could have but I chose not too. I also didn't want to get diabetes and high blood pressure. Those are things I can prevent so that's what I am doing. I have vain reasons why I want to lose weight also. I LOVE MY CURVES! Plain and simple! My current measurements are 36-32-51. My goal is 36-26-51! I have hips, butt, and breasts, all these things that people pay for I was given! Now why would I want to hide all that with fat in my body? Cause let's face it, I was plan ole fat! Not anymore though!! I am on a continuous journey to get to my goal size and weight. 

As I lose weight I really believe I can help others do the same. The two most important things I can tell you is to 1. Never give up and 2. Lose weight for no one but yourself. There is no right nor wrong way to do this. It's not a diet, its a lifestyle change. If you need to incorporate supplements do it! Do what works for you. I do Herbalife because sometimes I don't feel like eating and I also wear a corset to help define the hourglass waist i have. 

Want motivation? Interested in corset training and Herbalife? You can follow me on instagram at seductively_fabulous, shoot me an email at info@seductivelyfabulous.com OR check out my web site at http://www.seductivelyfabulous.com and I will help you as best as I can.  

My aim is to help others who feel they are on this road alone and have no help! We can do this together!!!

SHUT UP AND DO IT!

I made it!

I don't know about you but one of the hardest things for me to do is to motivate MYSELF at times!

I mean to be honest, some days are better than others ~ but when you are away it is SO HARD to get back in the swing of things EVEN WHEN you work out while you're on vacation ~ {details on my workout while in NY coming soon}!

Even though I worked out while I was away, it is something about being home and jumping back into your own regimen that makes it a tough adjustment. To be honest, it is really all mental!

Last week was my first week being back home after enjoying a fulfilled week in NY. It was to the point that I literally had to tell myself to just SHUT UP AND DO IT!

It was like I was my own personal trainer and I couldn't stand myself. Driving to the gym, using gas..blah blah blah...I thought to myself "ebby if you don't pick up your speed you're going to get it!"  It is like you reach this point in your journey where you can do one of two things:

1. Push harder to get past your plateau and step your game up OR 
2. Get lazy and be content with where you are

The choice is really yours and no one else's.  When you fail, it's on YOU - when you win, it's on YOU!

My weight loss journey is not a fad, something to do because it's "hot" right now or me busting my butt for a special occasion to get into a fabulous dress...rather, this is A LIFESTYLE CHANGE ~ a serious decision I made to become a healthier me.

For the first time in a long time I decided and made up my mind that it was time to get this done, I owe it to myself and I am worth the change - AND SO ARE YOU!  

"Has the journey been tough?" HECK YEAH...but it is so worth it! 

A friend if mine told me a while ago, she said "ebby when you are ready, you will make it happen." Those words stuck with me and here I am!

I got fed up one day, started crying about my weight and the pain in my knees and decided I wasn't going to be my own sob story. 

What's the use of complaining about something if you're not going to change it ~ SHUT UP ALREADY and just DO IT! 

NO MORE DARN EXCUSES!

So I say to you, when you are ready to tackle that thing you've been saying you were going to do and been procrastinating with ~ you will just SHUT UP AND DO IT ~ make it happen for yourself - and you WILL get it done.


You will find a new energy in you, a new desire and a burst of adrenaline to make things happen not for anyone else but FOR YOURSELF! 

Everything in you...mind, body and soul has to be all in ~ not one toe in and the other out..no we want the entire foot, leg, ankle, hips, body, weave, wigs, lashes...ALL OF YOU! 

It is only when you put your all into it and your best foot forward that you will in turn reap the benefits of what you've sown! 

Remember, this is YOUR life and YOU are worth it! 

Now SHUT UP AND DO IT!  As my virtual mentor Oprah Winfrey would say "Live your best life."

WE GOT THIS - You're a winner!

Made it around Central Park - details on that experience coming in 
the next blog later on this week - STAY TUNED!
