Ask me anything   Submit   Two Month Challenge   

My name is Erica. I recently had sort of an epiphany where I realized that my road to recovery from bulimia doesn't have to mean doing nothing... and it doesn't meant I can't lose weight in a good, healthy way. I can make myself fit, healthy, and happy... emphasis on healthy.


So this blog is going to be a positive fitspo/motivation/healthy-ness blog. I will share anything I learn or discover on my journey to healthy and fit.

I do not post/support pro-ana/mia stuff... however, I've been there and I do know that some of the things I post can be triggering, so please be careful.


Oh, and nothing I post here is mine unless I say otherwise.

I always see on my dash how there aren’t enough pictures of larger ladies working out, so I asked Lovie to snap a few pics during our workout. Sadly, I missed more of the hardcore activities before I thought to ask for pics, but you are left with these lovely jewels for some Fat-Girl-Fitspo <3

I’m 265lbs. I look like sh*t at the gym. I know I am ‘fat as hell’ and not very ‘hardcore’ in some b*tch a** anon’s opinion, but clearly: IDGAF. I run hard. I do CrossFit. I do MetCon. I Olympic Lift. I IGNORE everyone who tells me I can’t or that I shouldn’t because of my size: F*CK THAT. You can do anything you set your mind to with proper practice/training, which doesn’t mean you need a trainer. All you need is a capability to read, to watch, or to follow after others. Teach yourself. Be your own GD role model and ROCK THAT SH*T. If I can do it, you can do it and I will be here to help and inspire and answer anything you wanna ask, so long as I am Tumblin’. Well…unless you’re a rude anon b*tch, then you can enjoy failing at making me feel bad, because idgaf <3

I don’t care what size someone is, if you’re kicking ass at the gym you’re kicking ass at the gym.

work it girl!!!!

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Undressed Skeleton: One Week on A Budget! →

undressedskeleton:

It’s hard to eat healthy on a budget. I realized that after I tried to plan out a week menu with only thirty dollars. I managed to do it but I’ll be eating lots of left overs and lots of repeated meals. The cost of fresh foods makes incorporating them limited but eating in moderation saves…
