    Don’t goooooo :’(

    I have to unfortunately. Don’t worry though, because I love you and your personal posts I’ll follow under a more personal fitness account. I have too many blogs and I can’t do it anymore. I rather just have two. 

    This not even half of it.

    “So, I think you have a stellar blog and I think I followed you because of a "friends at the gym" post, but either way, you do what you gotta do, friend. Tumblr can be both reward and toxic and if you need air, take it. Besides, as a pseudo-fitblr meself, soda is fucking delicious and any other fitblr who can say that is a fran of mine :)”
    -thesportydykeplz

    I need more fitblrs like you love. You got fucking sense to know that Soda is delicious. I have no idea what post that was but I probably was being a retard on it. 

    Gemmie my fucking fanta strawberry and pineapple, vanilla coke, pepsi, dr pepper, and sprite. 

    And people trip like we drink it all day every day. Nah. once in a long while.

    Where to start?

    My best friend recently found out she has stage 4 breast cancer. Last month she got a double mastectomy and pretty soon here she will be loosing the hair that goes all the way down to her butt. She’s incredibly strong though, the strongest person I know, so I know she will overcome it. However, the price tag on fighting for your life is more than she, or any of us make. Even with insurance. And just this fall she and her boyfriend signed the papers on a new house after she got a much deserved new job. So its not easy. She’s paying out of pocket for a lot too. Shes already getting calls from collectors as if dealing with cancer wasn’t enough.

    I met Whitney when I worked at a crummy diner as a waitress. She was my manager and pretty quickly we became close friends. Shes on of those friends who listens to you genuinely, shes kind, shes giving and shes incredibly thoughtful. She’s always thinking of others and always doing things for others, going above and beyond what any normal person would do. I used to stay late at work just to hang out with her or come in on my days off just to talk. We lost our jobs together too when the restaurant we worked at shut down without notice. Then she threw a party for all of us to celebrate..because thats the kind of person she is. She even saved some of our name tags and keepsake type items and gave them to us.

    Losing a job on the spot wasnt as big of a deal for me at the time because I was young and had a spouse and didnt have a kid or anything. She on the other hand was living on her own taking care of her two beautiful children. She has a daughter and a son. Her son is a brilliant 13 year old. He has autism but he doesnt let that hold him back. Hes a talented musician who sings and plays multiple instruments and records and mixes his own music! Her daughter is a few years younger and is so spunky and vivacious and totally her own person, she wants to do roller derby some day. She lives for those kids, shes always doing projects for them and worked extra hours so that she could get her son into a school that could give him the help he needs as an autistic kid so he could flourish. 

    Thankfully she got a new job as a restaurant manager and a promotion, it came with a lot of work though. But she was able to get her own home and move her boyfriend in. Its beautiful and she deserves it after all she has been through and all she has done for others. You can see in each room of the house the love and care she has put into her family and how hard she works for them. She sacrifices so much and doesnt ask for anything in return.

    Even through all of her surgeries and radiation and everything, shes still taking time to do things for others and its just amazing.

    Shes a total badass and I respect her so much. Shes a big wonder woman fan, but frankly I think shes wonder woman herself. I dont know anyone who is as kickass as her while still being the most thoughtful friend and amazing mother. Words cannot describe the wonder that is Whitney. Its true what they say about bad thigns happening to good people because I couldnt think of a better person.

    I could go on and on attempting to describe what makes her amazing and why she is worth the money but I have to stop at some point. The point is, shes amazing, and she has an amazing family and what she is going through is sooo incredibly hard and shes getting collector phone calls already and having a hard time making copays. Cancer is hard enough as it is, help make it a little easier on her by helping her make her medical bills.

    heres a picture of her with my son at her farewell party to her boobs. 

    PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND. Share it on fb or whatever. I really appreciate it.

    As I mentioned, earlier today she found out after getting her biopsy that the cancer has spread to her spine. please pass this around, even like a buck or two to help make her co-pays would be appreciated…or just reblog it is all I ask.

    just reblog it.

    -Anonymous

    I have unfollowed SO MANY PEOPLE and refollowed and unfollowed and it’s annoying and personally, I would love to start fresh. Plus the people that I do follow (though not their fault) reblog for people I don’t really care, especially their ignorant ass text posts. Honestly, I just want to post a pic of my soda and be one of those fitblrs who though it is important to eat healthy and exercise and blah blah blah, I want my fucking Soda. Plus there are some judgmental ass people on here who are way over themselves. The urge to call them out is bad. But I just shade them. I know I have issues, and I want to keep them on this blog. They don’t need to follow me throughout tumblr.

    Ladies and Gents, this beautiful young lady here is Karol from Mexico, and she is on this journey to better her health!

    Well since i was little i always do a sport but then like at 11 i quit and i gained a lot of weight. I made this blog to motivate me more, because i was almost at ‘fuck everything i’m going to be happy while i’m eating whatever i want’ but i went to the doctor to make me some health studios and it appeared that i have cholesterol and might have diabetes. So i started to work out more, i joined aerial silks that has helped me a lot and i do many workouts! And i actually enjoy eating healthy and working out because that means health, and i don’t want to die in a young age haha. *Sorry for my bad english* (your english is a okay!)

    Why Hello there Mr. Handsome Alejandro! I hope you are doing just fine in Philly for school! This lovely man here from Puerto Rico is getting his back his body and to be as fit and healthy as possible! Like many of us struggling through this journey, he too struggled with his weight at a young age. From his first major asthma attack at 8 years old he and his family started his journey to better health by age 13! As most of us know about high school, it can be a very stress filled depressing place and even Alejandro couldn’t leave high school without scratches. Right before college, he decided that he would fight for a healthier lifestyle and a happier, healthier him! Why don’t you all pay him a visit and get to know each other! He is currently doing Insanity and would probably love a few folks doing it with him.

    Good day all! I would like to introduce you all to Chalyse! (such a beautiful name) She is a beautiful wife and mother and a child of God from Wisconsin! Before her pregnancy with her beautiful son, she was 213 pounds. Once her son came into the world, she was at 239 pounds. From there she took back her body and worked hard for her current 198 pounds! (congrats!) With the help of eating healthy, working out, doing limited zumba(due to knee issues), making delicious healthy food and drinks, she is ready to tackle her goal weight of 135! I say to you, godspeed and great luck and congrats on the marriage and beautiful child!

    My God. This Beautiful woman from Ontario, Canada….Omg. Rachael. Just go and say hi to her. *dies from beauty*
    I am a 19 year old living in Toronto. I took school for film for a year and will be starting school for journalism in the fall. I hope to be a environmental journalist some day. I have struggled with my body image since I was 12 years old when I hit puberty and started to gain weight. Throughout high school, I was never very heavy but have always been a bit big in my mid section. After my first year of college, I reaized i had gained at least 10 pounds and was very unhappy with my body. Over the past year or so, I have made great progress, not so much in my weight (I’ve only lost 5-10 lbs,) but in my self worth/body image. When I look in the mirror, I love the person that I see now and I realize that every body is beautiful. I have confidence in my body and wear the clothes that I want to wear instead of the clothes that hide my imperfections. I have also been struggling with social anxiety for the last 8 months or so, it doesn’t have much effect on my body image or fitness goals but it definitely affects my mental state. I have been trying very hard to get through it and have a wonderful family that definitely makes it easier.

    This beautiful fitblrcorn named Claire, from the beautiful New Zealand is here and ready to meet! Why don’t you go by her lovely page and say hi?
    I used to be a competitive swimmer and I was training 5+ times a week with competitions in the weekends. However when I gave this up I continued to eat as I had been when I was swimming, which meant that I gained a lot weight. I am currently making lifestyle changes in order to lose this weight, without any excuses. In order to do this  I need to incorporate this into my routine so that even when uni becomes stressful i do not use that as an excuse.

    This lovely unicorn here is Victoria, or the very pretty and witty from Kentucky, who is on this journey to better health mentally and physically! Make sure you check her out and say hi!
    The summer before my freshman year in high school, I was admitted to a children’s hospital because of my asthma and they gave me unreal dosages of medicine and I gained 30+ pounds. Because the sudden weight gain made me depressed, I gained even more weight. I’ve been going up and down in weight ever since and have finally decided to make it end. I’m on my own journey to figure out being healthy in my own way and staying fit so that I can kick major butt in some really muddy races!

    We have Danielle of the Mighty Fitblrcorns from Colorado who too is working towards a healthier lifestyle!
    i started my journey to health in march of 2012. i’ve had my ups and downs. but all in all i’ve learned so much. i’m studying to get my personal trainer certification. i am a vegan. and all that i want in life is to inspire and helps other see how amazing they can be. becoming fit and healthy changed my life. i went from someone who never pursed any of their goals to someone who is constantly going after everything i want. i am determined to show everyone how wrong they were about me. and to show myself everything that i am capable of. i started my journey because i wanted to look good. but since then it has become so much more then that.

    From the dirty south, or Louisiana, we have the stunning Nicki and her awesome story! (btw, congrats on going into your 3rd decade with style and pizzazz!)
    30 is the new…awesome! Trying to get over the crisis by becoming the best me ever, and I’m doing it the healthy and permanent way. I run four days a week, but I enjoy trying new things so I’ve probably attempted that trendy new class you’ve heard about and I’d love to tell you about it. I’ve overcome eating disorders and various health issues that have held me back and I’m ready to embrace this amazing life. We only get one. Let’s make it count as one.

    This is the bodacious, beautiful, bad ass Raven from the great state of Kentucky that you should all go visit and follow!

    Well, long story short I’ve always been over weight. I think the only image of me not overweight is one of me when I was seven. I’ve always been self conscious about it, which has held me back from a lot of fun things I’ve always wished to do. Sad, right? No. I’ve led a very wonderful life and I will continue to do so weather I’m healthy or not. I’m loved and I barely know what discomfort is. I’ve also been lucky enough to still enjoy physical activity. I also know that if I would just keep up with said physical activity, I could improve my body. I’ve made several attempts, however, winter is seriously my weak point. I lose so much during summer time, but then loose grip once it gets cold. 

    On the other hand, I am a full time college student who tries to work 200 hours a month. If I have no set schedule free time takes priority over working out. However, I just recently moved to walking distance from my college, so I hope to gain back some time during my day that I used to waste on driving. My next semester will include biking/walking to school. I’ve also considered biking to work (which would take 30ish minutes), however, working sweaty is my excuse. However, I have some athletic friends who do that. Hm.

    Anyways, here I am, feeling my way into a newer lifestyle including more movement and better food. I dare not label it anything yet. I’m a newblet. A little squishy endomorph feeling my way to a new adaptation of life. Don’t mind me. 

    My name is Rachel, an 16 year old dreamer that currently attends high school in the US. I lost over 30 pounds and I have a much too high of a passion for living to the fullest. This blog is about positivity, a healthy lifestyle, balance, and the pursuit of happiness.  I am passionate about various things in my life, one of them being fitness. While this blog used to be solely focused on my fitness goals, I strongly believe that the key to happiness is a balanced lifestyle.  That is why this blog is now about anything and everything that makes me happy and/or inspires me.  

    Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me and has become one of my biggest passions. I am not as healthy as I’d like to be but that’s why it’s a journey and not a destination. I am a yogi and a wannabe chef. I have been practicing yoga on and off for a few years and plan on becoming a yoga instructor  as my second career next to being a chef. I love tea, reading, walking, rainy days, and apples. I spend a little bit too much time being active and I can’t help but create some sort of new food everyday. It’s become apparent to me that I’m not your average 16 year old…and I’m okay with that!

    If you don’t know Diana from the great state of Texas, I need you to stop, and go say hi! A BEAUTIFUL woman and mother who has been on the fitness and health journey train for a bit more than a year, is now focusing on being healthy and fit so she can live longer with her son. (btw, her blog changes with the seasons. It’s so cool)

    May I just say that you are very very vibrant and beautiful in this picture!?!? Oh erm…This beautiful unicorn is named Audrey from Minnesota and here is her story:

    I am a busy college student who is navigating the rivers of self love and body acceptance along with just daily challenges (and even dating!).
    I started my healthblr / fitblr a year ago (my tumblr-versary is actually on the 22nd), with goals of being healthy, fit, toned and physically active. I have lost nearly 62 pounds through healthy eating and exercise (yoga, running, labor intensive job, and light weight lifting).
    While I still believe those are important qualities to have and maintain, I have more so become drawn to the internal health aspect of health (such as positivity towards self and body) and I believe in self love and self acceptance. This is what my main focus has been on for the last couple of months.
    I struggled (and still do at times) with body image issues, self acceptance and with just general mental health (anxiety / depression). But I will not give up and I will continue to strive for a healthier (In several aspects) me! (:

    If you don’t know about the gorgeous Laurel from Tennessee, I need you to click here and get to know her. She is super awesome!

    In January 2012, I broke my hand from falling off a horse and since I couldn’t ride, my marathoning best friend took me from a 13 minute mile to a 13.1 mile half marathon over the next three months.  That summer, I fell in love with cycling and started to struggle my way through swimming in order to complete my first triathlon last August and I fell in love with the sport.  I started out running a fitblr and ended up with a lot of disordered thinking about food and my own body since I felt guilty for not desiring a super perfect squat butt and abs because I’d rather have ice cream.  I spent last summer in Spain and thanks to a long list of incidences there, a lot of negative thoughts related to food and my body also started to creep up on me, which I still deal with now.  Because of this, I consider myself a healthblr moreso than a fitblr.  I focus on mental health and using exercise as a way to appreciate what my body can do instead of what it looks like.  It’s been quite a journey, but it’s definitely going in the right direction now!

    May I introduce you all to the BEAUTIFUL, Maddie!?!?!? I think I can. A beautiful young girl from BC, Canada who is fighting the great fight against Anorexia!

    This beautiful yogi from Singapore is more than ready to help you get your feet wet in the world of yoga! A beautiful blog ran by the lovely Angie, you will be more than delighted to go to her page and say hi and follow! 
    I’m Angie, 21 years old, an avid yogi and gym bunny. I am passionate about all things fitness and health, especially yoga! I’m planning to obtain my yoga teaching certification once I graduate from university <: I hope that my fitblr will be able to introduce people who are afraid of trying out yoga, or know nothing about yoga, to yoga! <: fitness allows me to be grounded and positive with life, and most importantly, it taught me to be comfortable in my own skin and to be confident with who I am and to love myself more <: My favourite yoga pose is the dancer’s pose, or standing forehead to knee pose, and I love all sorts of inversions too! <:

    Here we have the handsome Rob from Massachusetts!
    I was always a skinny kid throughout my life. I knew I wanted to make a drastic change when I was a senior in high school. I pretty much gave up my social life to pursue working out each and every day until now. I learned how to workout properly through trial and error. The first 2 years was where I start to learn everything correctly which I spent changing my diet and routine for the last 2 years. This has brought me with amazing progress in which I will continue for the rest of my life.

    Introducing the Beautiful Bella from Virginia! 
    I was a serious soccer player my whole life.  However, that all kind of ended when I tore my ACL (a major ligament in your knee). When I finally started getting better, I turned my attention back to my body.  It was plain and simple-9 months of not being able to completely run and lacking exercise created a body that I didn’t want.  For the first time in my life, I was insecure with my own body.  And I didn’t like that feeling.  So in March, I decided to started to eat better and exercise again!  And it’s been an amazing and rewarding journey thus far :)

    This beautiful young lady by the name of Sabah is from the UK and is working towards eating healthier and feeling and being healthier! How about you all head on over to her delicious blog and follow?!
    I’m Muslim, just finishing college, going on to study medicine in sept. My health - well mentally I have been struggling over the past year or two, but it’s getting better and I’m in a much better place now. I’ve been on and off with food for a while, but it has kind of gotten - worse? - this year. I’m not really properly bad with food, I have just started to think about it a bit too much and kind of obsessing over my body. Although I know I’m at a healthy weight, I’m not really content. Although above I said I don’t have a goal weight, it’s kinda not really true because in my head I do, I just know it’s not very healthy. To help with that is kind of why I started my food blog, I know I have an unhealthy relationship with food, so I hope that this helps and I can allow myself to enjoy food as I should, and to eat right without restricting and stuff.

    At first I was going to go fitblr, because I know healthy isn’t just about food, but then every single pic/gif of workouts seems to involve semi-naked people, and I didn’t want to be posting stuff like that at all, so here I am with a purely food blog, amongst which I try to litter some more recovery-oriented stuff. I don’t keep it 100% clean either because I see such strictness as unhealthy.
    Long ramble over, thanks for reading, and I think this blog is a wonderful idea!

     

     

    I am also going to add http://loose-skinnyjeans.tumblr.com/ because she did apply and I just haven’t gotten around to adding it.

    “I just saw your post on wanting to leave the fitblr community and I totally understand why. In the past, I also suffered through depression and I also once had binge eating disorder. Also, I agree with all the other stuff about how fitblrs are. Even though I rather you not delete your tumblr bcuz your inspiring & one of the few honest fitblrs out there, I think u should do what's best for yourself. Your mental health should be your #1 priority then a blog. Whatever you do, I wish you well <3”
    -Anonymous

    Thank you for actually understand what probably a lot of people feel. I may just leave it, I don’t feel comfortable deleting it as I haven’t deleted my IMVU accounts yet. I’ll just probably set up the 300 blog queue limit and when 300 posts run out, I’m gone. 

    And I wish I could be brutally honest. I really do. I think I may make some little girls on here cry though.
