how to feel happier in your new body

Hey bloggers!So now that I have a new body I am learning to getting back to the attention I was getting before gaining weight, I am continue to be humble in my sense. A lot of us when losing weight we become conceited and once we see someone of a bigger size instead of encouraging them to lose weight we tease or talk about them. I am sure I was spoke about when I was 200 pounds, and as we ALL  have insecurites I didn't want to go out when wearing 16,1x, and size 14 pants I think I was going to lose it, with people telling me I don't need to lose weight, and I didn't assume it was hating I noticed it was they weren't seeing what I see.
After losing over 20 pounds in a year, it became the greatest feeling and I began writing my blog. This blog was written to encourage people, not to trash anyone. This post today came on  a spiritual being to help you to wake up and get up and live a happier life.

Now that I am an size 10, large, and 8 pants it has become the most amazing feeling

Back to start

 Hey bloggers! I know you been missing me I been missing you too. It's now June meaning beach bodies, natural hair, and weight loss challenges. Now I am one for a great beach body, natural hair, and being in shape! Here are 5 tips I recommend for you guys to have a healthy and happy summer.
1. If you are team natural get braids or use coconut hair oil and Argan oil products. Braids prevent you from washing your hair so much and if your a pool person it prevents damage to your hair. If you wash your hair everyday like me I suggest braids, and dry shampoo, a leave-in conditioner and place hot oil between your scalp before sitting under a dryer for 15 minutes. You definitely don't want your braids to burn. Also if you want to keep your natural hair out. Wash every two weeks and do the same process only sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. 
2. Eat plenty of fruit and water! I see a lot of girls posting stuff on Facebook and Instagram about weight loss. Your first mistake was not trying to lose weight from the winter and not eating right! The best fruit to eat in the summer is the yellows and reds such as strawberries and pineapples those fruits produce a lot of energy and retains a lot of water to keep your body hydrated, and when your body is hydrated it prevents you from getting sick and it helps a longer work out. 
3. Detox. I always recommend a detox especially a healthy one that can help you remove all the toxins that is sitting in your system my favorite detox is vitamins like flaxseed oil pills and green tea with honey. It not only cleanses the system but clears up your skin too. 
4. Sun block or sun protecting lotion! I don't how many times I have to stress this. But don't think because your african american or latino that you don't have to use it. I use both sun protection and sun tanning lotion, in Jamaica am considered red bone ( am brown enough to get a tan, and in the winter I can get a pale look ) so from I was little my mom always made sure I had sun block. When you use these products it keeps you young looking through the years and no sniveling up like a raisin in old age.
5. Workout! I don't know how much I have to stress this but working out is good for the heart, body, and soul! Now take these 5 steps and enjoy a healthy, happy, and amazing summer you beach bum!
