Yo, Is This Thing On?

OMG! Im writing my first blog and all I can think is "It's been a long time coming." Yall, I literally came up with this idea in 2017 after seeing my graduation photos. I was like yo, I seriously need to be on someone's workout plan. Like, where's Kanye when you need him. (BTW I'm a corny at times, I'm apologizing in advance) But back to the story , yeah I was like ok I've gained a lot of weight. I need to do something ASAP. I was really motivated too guys for about 20 minutes. LOL! Totally didn't last long at all. I'm lazy. But thankfully my boyfriend is a gym rat and a health freak. His healthier eating habits KIND OF rubbed off on me, but not like all the way because I'm real quick to abandon a diet when it comes to cookies and Mexican food. So I had to find what worked for me. So I reluctantly gave up sodas. I cried for days. It was like taking the boob away from a baby I was totally lost without my soda. It was hard at first with the headaches and cravings but I stuck it out and eventually my body adapted. Then I made another HUGE decision I stopped taking my birth control. Whhhewww Child my nerves were definitely shot at this point, but Hey I was determined to get my body back. I came to college weighing 112 pounds and graduated weighing 201 pounds. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! *** BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO STOP TAKING YOUR BIRTH CONTROL!!!! LOL LETS BE CLEAR. ***

So, I gave up soda, stopped taking my birth control, and I saw little progress. Then my boyfriend suggested that I stopped drinking so much tea and juice and start drinking water. I was like water?! ( in my Soulja Boy voice) But I tried it and I be darned yall, it actually freaking worked. I was shocked, who knew I had the secret formula right under my fingertips the whole time. SMH PURE AMAZEMENT. So, my whole life I been calling myself THICK though I never actually met the "THICK criteria" but hey whatever. LOL and I started writing THICK GIRLS DRINK WATER in all caps on all my water bottles. Anytime I wanted to drink anything else I would write down THICK GIRLS DRINK WATER. I'm real stubborn by the way so I had notebooks full of this single phrase.

Believe it or not the weight started falling off, and I know it wasn't all in my head because people actually started noticing and asking me questions. So I made a few cups for some friends that said "THICK GIRLS DRINK WATER" and noticed it was kind of catchy and that I should definitely turn it into a business. Well 2 years and 3 months later here we are. *Hits the Milly Rock*
