Hi there

Hello everyone,

My name is Faiza and I started this blog because I feel like it is time that I take control of my own life and feel even better about myself. I was never the type to put myself down all the time and feel horrible about the way I look. I believe that I am beautiful, but I want to be healthy. I am 5`3 and I weigh 185 pounds. My healthiest weight ever was 128 pounds. But my goal is to be 140 pounds. When I get that far then I will continue to get healthier if that is what I need to do.

To be honest, I am sick of feeling lazy and feeling like not doing anything, or being excited to go out or dress up and just have fun. I don't want to get to a point where all I want to do is sit at home and not work and keep gaining weight. My family has a history of diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. None of which I have...yet. I want to prevent that from happening.

I want to be able to look at myself and see the perseverance and determination of wanting to live a fulfilling life without letting harmful health conditions take over me. I still have insecurities about my looks, I never did before but I feel like I do now and that scares me. I don't want to be seen as someone who just gave up on feeling good and taking care of themself. I want to be healthy, sexy and fabulous in every aspect of my existence.

I hope that you will follow me through my journey and be able to learn something and even teach me something.
