I read about this story yesterday and just had to share! It’s a great story of self discovery!
LaKeisha Shurn had low-self-esteem, was depressed and was feeling down about her body. She decided to take control of her life and signed up for the #GiveIt100 Challenge, a movement which encourages people to try something new for 100 days. Shurn signed up to begin a journey of losing weight and finding herself.
“I have low self-esteem, I am going through depression, and I want to change all of that. Next hundred days I will be on the journey of losing weight and finding myself,” says Shurn at the beginning of the video.
To be held accountable and encourage others, Shurn documented her weight loss journey via youtube videos. The video below is a compilation of her 100 day journey.
Shurn lost 18 pounds in 100 days and dropped two dress sizes. But the greatest achievement during those 100 days was finding self love! At the end of the video she’s more confident than she was before and you can tell she has a more positive outlook on life.
You go girl!! I wish her continued success as she continues on her journey. May her story serve as inspiration to others!
You can follow her journey through her videos and on Twitter.
