Девушка из Калифорнии выстояла под ударами судьбы. И сбросила лишние 60 кг!

У каждого человека в этом мире — свой путь и своя история. Но есть немало общего между людьми в разных уголках планеты: обиды, переживания, несчастливая любовь и прочие жизненные коллизии. В частности, довольно многие женщины переживают из-за несовершенств своей фигуры. Кому-то кажется, что нужно поправиться, а другие мечтают похудеть.

Жизнь послала этой девушке серьезное испытание. Но она решила бороться за свое счастье и красоту.

Когда Джастине МакКейб из Лос-Анджелеса исполнился 31 год, она переживала потерю любимого мужа Джона, не хотела выходить из дома и питалась одним фаст-фудом.

 «Уход из жизни моего мужа была действительно тяжелым ударом. А потом все стало хуже некуда, потому что вскоре ушла из жизни мама».

Месяц за месяцем Джастина проводила в трауре, она просто набирала вес и глубже уходила в депрессию, пока друзья наконец не уговорили ее пойти в спортзал. Они хотели, чтобы она хоть немного встряхнулась, а еще занялась собой, ведь она весила уже 140 кг.

Тренировка произвела на нее большое впечатление и стала переломным моментом в жизни.

Она решила начать путь к «новой себе», чтобы продолжать не просто существовать, а жить полноценно и счастливо для самой себя, своих детей и в память об ушедших родных.

У нее снова появился свет в глазах и цель в жизни!

Джонни Строс, ее персональный тренер, вспоминает: «С самого начала у Джастины была цель, и она выбирала самые сложные пути, чтобы увеличить свой результат«.

The dressing room. One of women’s most hated and beloved places. A moment under the lights and mirrors of self confrontation can either make or break you. That is vulnerability. 300lb Justine felt hopeless. It was hard to find my true self in 3x and 4x department store clothing. Even the act of trying on different clothes felt exhausting; physically and emotionally. I don’t like waking up at 5am to go to the gym…but I didn’t like being mortified by my own reflection either. I’ve fought for this. I’ve sweat and I’ve cried…and I didn’t believe there would be a day I was in a size large…asking if they had a medium instead. So grind. Go to the gym when you don’t want to. Skip on the extra sugar if that gives you a place to start. Do whatever you can and keep going until you love who and what is staring back at you in the mirror. Re discover and express your inner true self, it 👏🏻is👏🏻never👏🏻 too👏🏻 late. Don’t let the battle be about your weight and self worth in the dressing room, rather let it be wondering how on earth you are going to afford all the amazing frocks! 💋 #IChooseToLive

Oh man!! I love when my friends send me awful pics of….me!! This one was too good not to post! I was definitely at my heaviest here. 313 to be exact. I was the unhappiest I had ever been. I had a very bad debilitating back injury, I wasn't coping well with the death of my mother or the daily stresses of my life. One thing I did know how to do, stuff myself full of food so I felt comforted. That is no way to live. Looking at "before" pics I often feel sad for "her". I truly feel like a different person. I am always quick to tell everyone that even though I have lost a massive amount of weight…this isn't really about weightloss at all..it's more of a journey to rediscover myself. #lifestylechange. I can't say it enough! I took this "after" pic yesterday on my balcony overlooking paris. I choose to fill my life now with other things to feel comforted. And a solo trip to Paris has felt way more rewarding than emotional eating ever has! Be the change in you!!! #rambling #facetofacefriday #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #weightlosstransformation #inspiration #fitspiration #weightloss #girlswholift #fitspo #fitfam #eatclean #cleaneating #fitness #healthy #weightloss #transformation #selflove #instafit #inspiration #fitnessaddict #beforeandafter #healthyliving #iammotiv8 #trainandtransform #determination #girlswithmuscle #neverfail #keepgoing #ichoosetolive #teamjonnystraws

As an overweight hairstylist (@justinehairstar) I made excuses of why I couldn’t eat healthy and exercise for YEARS! I was exhausted after 8-12 hour days on my feet, shoveling all sorts of quick, easy, processed foods into my system. But here I am…maintaining over -100lbs lost 2 years ago…and yet I am still a hairstylist working those same hours. Am I tired? Yes. Do I still have excuses? Absolutely! But these days I’m a different kind of tired. I learned it was the obesity that was truly leaving me exhausted and hopeless. It’s not about having time…but making time. I meal prep late at night. I workout in the wee hours of the morning before my kids wake up. I spend weekends outdoors…I do whatever I can to keep my body moving! Making time for these things is much easier than hating who I was seeing in that mirror everyday. I challenge you to change just one of your excuses this coming October! I’m going to work on my “treat yo self” all weekend long occurrence! We must be stronger than our excuses. 💁🏼‍♀️ #Ichoosetolive #transformationtuesday

Она поменяла высококалорийные закуски на блюда из качественных продуктов. А став членом спортклуба, она трудилась в нем 6 раз в неделю.

И теперь ее подросший сын, может, не только гордиться своей мамой, но даже поднять ее на руках!

В то же время Джастина бросала себе самой вызов, исходя из своих страхов. Например, выбирала прыжки с парашютом, поездки за границу в одиночку, быстрые поездки верхом, восхождение на Эйфелеву башню без лифта и многое другое.

А еще она с каждым месяцем могла позволить теперь себе покупать красивые наряды меньшего размера.

Спустя год после тяжелого периода ее просто не узнать! Размер ее нарядов изменился с US-24 до 10-го (UK-26 до 12).

HERES HOW I LOST OVER -100lbs WITHOUT products, gimmicks, trainers ect because transformation is one hell of a thing to do. Don’t ever feel bad for being overwhelmed with how far you have to go or the work that has to be done. That is normal. I spent YEARS overweight. Feeling hopeless, Yo-Yo dieting, starting over and over again because I would would lose motivation and eating an entire pizza sounded a lot better than feeling uncomfortable in the gym. But in reality I let that uncomfortable feeling rule my life. I never felt good. Lethargy ruled my life. So what changed? A lot of things. But, I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I started going to the gym. I used the elliptical cardio machine 5 days a week for 45-60 mins. In addition to that…I also started hiking. I incorporated outdoor activities into my lifestyle. I ALWAYS kept body moving. I cut out ALL junk food. Anything that was overly “processed” never made it onto my plate. I didn’t buy into products geared for weight loss. Most of my meals were fresh from the fridge. High in protein and vegetables. I didn’t go completely carb free…but I was mindful of what I did consume. I read every nutritional label. If I went to a restaurant I would check online for their nutritional value content. I asked waiters to make substitutions. I quit drinking alcohol and I carried a gallon water jug wherever I went. I never went to bed hungry. Sometimes I would have a handful of chicken prior to sleeping if I felt I wanted to eat more. This all resulted in -126lbs lost in under a year. And I DEFINITELY burned out at one point. I have struggled with binge eating and have fought to maintain my weight loss. But one thing has never changed….I don’t ever want to feel sick and tired again. My desire to live life to its fullest is my never ending motivation. I don’t always want to get up at 5am to go to the gym or go after work….but I do what I can. I learned my solace comes during outdoor activities and it’s been the best way to stay happy and healthy for me. Just know…there is always a way and all it takes is YOU, nothing else. ❤️ #IChooseToLive #transformationtuesday
