A woman from Toronto (she chose not to reveal her name) posted her body transformation process on her Imgur account, Ohkosh. The 5’10” woman originally weighed in at 200 pounds, and she admitted to struggling with a skin-picking disorder as well as an eating disorder.
In September 2014, she was inspired to make a change to her diet, health, and life.
Her journey began with a simple yoga training class, which helped her drop initial weight. After about six months, she began to introduce more intense workouts to her fitness routine.
She changed her diet to follow a healthy, vegan plan and used sites like Bodybuilding.com, as well as the Vegan Bodybuilding and Nutrition Facebook page, to help her create her own, personal training routine. She chose specifically not to go to the gym, opting instead to find something that worked for her “body, schedule, and tastes.”
By June 2016, she weighed 162 pounds and no longer struggled with her OCD eating tendencies.
What’s most impressive about this woman’s journey is, by far, the final three months of her transformation. From March to June, this woman took on an intense training routine to shape her way to toned arms and abs. She posted photos of her transformation online, posing alongside her daily newspaper, just to prove any potential naysayers wrong.
Her photos and journey have caught the attention of many. She addresses everyone on her Imgur account, “Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and for those of you saying that this is inspiring you to work out. I am honored to have been a part of your inspiration.”
As for those who have been asking her for advice on their own fitness journeys, she writes, “Anything is yours if you want it."
