Katy Hearn Transforms Herself And Transforms Her Life

"I never really wanted a reason to be into health," she says now at age 24. "I was always really, really tiny. Working out just wasn't something that was in style when I was in high school. … It wasn't something that interested me."

After she graduated high school, she enrolled locally school near her hometown in Maryland. With faculty came drinking, parties and "terrible, convenient food," as she places it. She started to gain weight, and although it wasn't a huge amount, she could see each individual pound. "I am 5-foot-1 on a good day," she says, laughing. "So, 15 pounds on little me was a lot."

Hearn's tipping point got here a few days after her twenty first birthday. She'd worn a good dress out to celebrate and thought she had had a blast — until she scrolled via photos from the evening.

"I preach self love, love your self in all stages — I feel that means now," Hearn says. "Then, I did not. When I appeared back on those footage, I was like, 'Eww.' The only word that came to mind was: Gross. How on earth did I let myself get like this?"

She regarded up exercise regimens and advice online, creating her own exercise plans for herself. Then she began cleaning up her diet, first cutting out quick food and limiting sugars.

She started seeing results, which she measured in her personal earlier than/after photos. She took her first "after" images in January 2013, and she created her Instagram account then. Her feed, within the early days, included pictures of her workouts and meals, and captions had been littered with health-related hashtags so she may discover other users and so they could discover her.

"When folks go on a eating regimen, there's like this unstated rule: Do not talk about your food plan," Hearn says, "because your whole friends and family who should not dieting don't want to hear about it. I used to be kind of in that situation. My household didn't care about my exercises, didn't think it was cool or exciting. None of my mates did — they did not change with me. They saved drinking. They stored partying. They stored consuming bad food. So I used to be like, I am not going to spam them with my salads all day, so I am going to just make this separate Instagram.

"My name wasn't on it. I think it was like That Match Girl or something. It was anonymous. The only purpose was that I might hold myself accountable. I used to be able to talk to those strangers about this mutual curiosity all of us had in common."
