Thirteen Pounds Of Weight Loss Freedom

Good day World Fitters!

I’m happy to let you guys know I’ve lost 13 pounds so far during my weight loss journey. I know, I know 13 pounds doesn’t seem like much it certainly doesn’t seem like something that I need to celebrate. Wrong, you should celebrate any pounds lost because losing weight is not easy.

Loving me, that’s the way to be.

It certainly wasn’t easy saying goodbye to my favorite foods or getting my butt up and exercising when I didn’t really want to. You know sometimes you want to relax and grab your favorite food and enjoy life. That was my intentions when I first decided to stop starving myself. I didn’t intend on putting on as much weight as I did. In my highest recorded weight I was 173 pounds at 5’5 when I was thin I was approximately 5’3 130 pounds that is a total of 43 pounds of weight gain.

Wow World Fitters I can’t believe I just told all of you my weight. For many months my weight gain have been a source of great shame and regret. Many people kept openly telling me about their disappointment in my weight gain. Now my weight gain is a source of great strength and perseverance. I had to persevere despite all the negative opinions I was getting. It is my body my business plain and simple, I don’t care about what others think anymore.

World Fitters don’t care about what others think either. Truth be told when it comes to people opening their wallet to help you no one will volunteer their money. All they want to do is explode your head with all their opinions. World Fitters it took me a long time to trully love and appreciate all of my flaws. If you are not there yet don’t worry you will get there. I hope that each blog that I post bring you closer to loving your perfectly imperfect body. I love you all, thank you for joining me here I will see you all next time.

Stay Bless,

Bye

World Fitters Our Two Years

Hola World Fitters!

Today I received an email from namecheap.com. In case you’re wondering namecheap.com is a website that provides businesses with domain names. I brought my domain loseweightandfeelgreatwithfran.com from them. I know what you are thinking Francesca (Franchy) where are you going with this.

Where I’m going with this is that I wanted to talk to you all a little about how I feel about my website turning 2 years old. I’m so happy to have come this far. In these two years I have shared with you my heart felt experiences with putting on weight.

Before <3
After <3

I feel like we have become some sort of family. I have shared with you personal experiences that I’ve gone through. Additionally I shared with you my weight, which will held me accountable to you all. World Fitters I really hope loseweightandfeelgreatwithfran.com is really making a difference in your life. Love your perfectly imperfect body, may loseweightandfeelgreatwithfran.com lasts many more years. Thank you for visiting me for the last two years. I’m looking forward to posting more posts more regularly. I love you all have a blessed day, bye.

My Life My Story

As I sit back my iPad in hand. I groan and murmured ughhh god. This is like my fifth attempt at a video for a survey web site. I always do this. Do like a hundred thousand takes (I’m not kidding) before the video is ready to publish. I shake my head as the reason becomes clear. On why it takes so long to make a video? The reason being my low self-esteem.

IMG_20150708_233624

Through-out my life my low self-esteem have played a role in my life. Putting big walls between relationships. Putting my dreams and what I love to the side. Putting my self worth at it’s lowest. “If you don’t love yourself no one will.” These words have hunted me through-out my life. As I went from relationship after relationship. Looking for the love that I didn’t have for myself. Needless to say that search went on infinitely. It resulted in me kissing a lot of frogs and a bad after taste in my mouth. “Life is what you make it.”

Life is pretty difficult for people with low self-esteem. Their usually depress and can’t see the positives in life. World fitters “seize the day carpe diem.” Don’t let your size define your life. Lose the low self-esteem and found your-self. Get to know yourself intimately. What would you say to your younger self? Would your younger self be proud of the person you have become?

For instance You Tube had asked me a couple of months ago to do a “Dear Me” video. I happily accepted of course. “Dear Me” is a self reflection video. It’s about what your older self want to say to your younger self? Below is my “Dear Me” video and a poem I wanted to share. Sharing is caring!

Love thy self.

Make love to thy self.

Look in the mirror.

Look at your beautiful eyes.

The eyes are the mirror to your soul.

I look at your soul.

It looks so empty.

When you cry. Scatter

Pieces of your soul splatter on the ground.

Like a life size puzzle.

All the events of your life scatter every which way.

Not knowing where to turn.

Turn to me my darling.

Come to me.

Let me brush away your tears.

Kissing them gently away.

Caressing you gently in my arms.

Brushing away strands of hair.

I reach down and kiss you.

Suddenly our body begin to merge together.

Two hearts become one.

We are one.

I love you.

World fitters! I hope you enjoy this post. My name is Francesca Etheart. That was “My Life My Story.”

Smiling through life!

update web 2

I have a story I’m working on to publish on kindle. Below is an excerpt of the story from my blog. I hope you enjoy it.

As I sit on the ledge my legs dangling.
My sandals desperately clanging to my feet.

I admire the beautiful view.

It is dark now the reflection of the moon on the water is breath taking.

The water is glistening. It looks so inviting.

As if it is beckoning me to jump in.

Then suddenly I feel something push me.

Ahhhhh I scream desperately trying to hold my balance.

But to my disappoint I fell in the water.

A big splash brake the calmness of the glistening water.

I submerge myself in it’s warm inviting arms.

Then finally I surface to be overwhelm by an engenius laughter.

That laughter I could recognize from miles away.

There stood this strawberry blond. With a big smile on her face.

Trying to hold back her laughter. Summer I yelled between gasping for air.

What she asked in her lovely southern belle voice?

What you mean what? Don’t act coy with me Missy.

I look at her I almost could see her halo above her head as she stare innocently in my eyes.

I broke our gaze and begin to climb the smaller ladder.

Well I asked are you going to just stand there looking pretty or are you going to help me up?

Oh okay she sigh loudly (She is not captain of her drama club for nothing).

I felt her soft hands in mines momentarily.

I glance at her red lips as they softly parted.

Come on Steven pull yourself up she said softly gasping.

She look so cute. I almost felt guilty for what I’m about to do.

Almost!

Suddenly I crab around her elbow and let go of the ladder.

She let out a loud shrill as we both escaped inside the glistening beauty of the water.

I surfaced first. I look around I don’t see a single strand of her strawberry blond hair.

update web 3

Summer?

Summer?

Then suddenly I feel someone pull me under. I escape beyond the surface again.

One after the other we both surfaced.

Come on I said softly lets go home it’s getting late.

She softly nodded. I climbed up first then helped her up.

I glanced over to the side and noticed she bought her bag with her.

I went inside her bag and grabbed two towels.

That was fun she giggled. I smile yeah it was.

Then again I always had fun with her.

I went over to her and help dry her back.

Steven?

A girls shallow whisper called out.

We both looked up from what we were doing.

We both jumped slightly and quickly separated.

Jessica? I blushed.

What are you doing She stammered?

Um we were just having a late night swim.

How come I wasn’t invited She asked? Placing her hands on her hips.

Well I said looking at Summer she shrugs.

I guessed I’m on my own I thought to myself.

Well it was kind of last minute.

You could have called she said accusatorily.

Yeah I could’ve I admitted.

I called your mom she said you was down here.

I thought you were alone she said glancing over at Summer.

Um Steven Summer said crabbing her things quickly.

I’ll talk to you later.

She quickly exited.

My Weekly Shapely:

update web 1

Hello there world fitters! How are you? I’m fine as always. I’m still keeping track of my exercising. I’ve been exercising on average about 6 days a week. which is pretty good. However I will admit I did cut back a bit this week. I’ll be the first to admit it;s okay to cut back on your workouts sometimes. Just don’t make it a habit. The key to your success is consistency. If your not consistent the weight will slowly come back. I want you to succeed. So keep at it. No matter if you feel like you are failing. Don’t give up! Is the tip I have for you.

I know I may make weight loss seem more easy then it is actually. I know maintaining your weight loss is not easy. Many of us go up and down in our weight. I’m definitely guilty of that. But finally I have manage to keep my weight stable. I’m very proud of myself. I’ve been working out and eating my fruits and veggies. Which at times can seem like a chore. My previous tip can seem like a chore also. Another tip I have for you world fitters is that keep you workouts interesting. Otherwise you will get bored and stop exercising. If you are not seeing any changes. Don’t worry if you keep at it you will eventually see some results. Why not share your weight loss journey? Comment below and let me know how you are doing? All right world fitters I’m signing off. Until next time. Have a blessed weekend.
