VIP Family: The video I mentioned in yesterday’s email will be up later tonight. I’m rusty on editing quickly.
1. Looking for Overnight Weight Gain – Listen, nothing good comes too easy. I’m learning that more and more. In order to gain solid weight that stays on, you have to change your lifestyle. Changing your lifestyle will not happen overnight. Sorry. It takes plenty of discipline and determination to resist the urge to skipping meals.
Welcome back to Part 2 of the 13 Lessons Learned on my Weight Gain Journey 2015. Let’s just jump right in on where we left off, #6.
As I celebrate Thanksgiving and reflect on what I’ve done this year, I started thinking about how I reached major milestones in my fitness journey and gaining weight. Although I didn’t hit 130lbs, I hit 126 – 127lbs and with major curves. At this point in my journey, I know how to control the weight. If I “want” to gain extra weight I know the exact formula for my body to get the exact body that I desire.
If you flown JetBlue before, then you know just how yummy the blue chips are that they offer on flights. Frustrated for paying over $4 for a bag of that same brand of chips that’s filled with air, I decided to create my own darn blue chips. Oh and for some reason, the blue chips in the bag are extremely hard to find in my area. Arggh!
Disclaimer: These are things that helped me on my fitness journey, what a nutritionist shared with me, and what I researched. Please seek the advice of a professional before starting any new regimen.
Skinny people have a fast metabolism and usually struggle with having the appetite to eat. I struggle with this every now and then, not often. I had to train my body to eat at certain times.

If you’re a person who is trying to gain weight, then I’m sure you’re aware that you need to eat three meals and snacks in between. Many of you are also trying to gain your weight as healthy as possible. Good for you! #SayNotoJunkFood
I figured it would be helpful to give you a list of items that were helpful for me to snack on that are pretty healthy. It’s hard to stay away from grabbing junk food but your body will thank you later.
Social media can either inspire you or make you moredepressed than before you created a profile. A gift and curse, indeed. Not too long ago, I wrote about “Fitness Hacks” to help people stay motivated on their fitness journey. What most people don’t tell you is that sometimes you can hit a wall on that journey. A mental wall. Sometimes you can become your own worst enemy with comparing yourself to someone else on their fitness journey.

So people still talking about thigh gaps? Is this seriously a trend and if so why? I need to know why anyone would want a thigh gap. I guess since I’m on the journey to get “thick”, hearing about thigh gaps makes me gag. I understand wanting to lose weight and tone up but the thigh gap isn’t too appealing to me. Perhaps I’m the anomaly because it “appears”
So I purchased this e-book from the Bodynomics website because I’m ready to get serious about gaining even more weight starting October. Ok, really I already started but I’m going hardcore in October. Anyway while gathering all necessary tools to get this fitness challenge started, I figured I should just go ahead and give this e-book a whirl.

It wasn’t at all what I expected.
In case you missed it, I recorded a video pretty much expressing why so many women want to gain weight. The overall response has been positive because soooo many women can identify with what I went through. Listen, I know many larger women may still feel skinny women have an advantage, and I would challenge that argument. People who sit in the middle have the highest advantage not the underweight or overweight. Anyway enjoy the video below and share your thoughts in the comment section.
