What the FLUFF?!

"You know how there's some fat people that are mean and they don't play with you? Well, you're not like that. You're FUN fat!" -7 year old little boy, circa 2008.

FUN FAT.

The quote you see above was taken from a little boy for that I used to babysit back when I was in high school. He was super excited that day because it was the first day that we got to swim in the new in-ground pool that was dug that summer and he couldn't wait for his "fun-fat" babysitter to let him finally go outside. Oh words straight from the mouths of babes...

For years, I have thought back to this genuinely sincere and innocent comment he made that day. It's one of my favorite stories to tell because it's just so comical to think of fun fat as a compliment. But really, I couldn't think of a better way to sum up my life over the past 28 years than with those two words.

My name is Taylor. I am fluffy, sometimes funny, always obsessed with my four-legged fluff (Barrett), and THIS is a collection of experiences from my-so-called-life. I live for fun and making people laugh, even if it is at my own expense. You may be asking yourself, "What the fluff is she up to now?" Well, to all of you out there that have told me that I should write a book one day or have my own reality TV show, this is the beginning of it all.

I recently started working towards establishing and maintaining a happier, healthier lifestyle and my plan was to use this blog for accountability; a record to keep track of where I'm going and where I've been. But I'd be lying if I said that's what you're going to see. Sure, my "fluff to fit" journey will be a HUGE part of this, but the awkward encounters that make up my life will take center stage in no time. 

Be on the lookout for posts about my baby dog, grad school struggles and triumphs, my weight-loss journey through Beachbody, travel dreams, plus-size/curvy clothing finds, and a whole lot of questionable events that would only happen to me. Literally. You'd be surprised how weird it gets sometimes. 

Until next time, stay fabulous. ✌

    So excited to follow along on this journey with you! I can definitely attest to saying you need to write a book, so to say I’m overjoyed is an understatement.

What I've Lost < What I've Gained

Image
It's hard to believe a year has already passed. I am struggling with writing this because I thought I would be so much more excited about where I would be at the end of my first year, but it's not at all what I thought it would be like.  I know that this blog puts aspects of my life on display that wouldn't fit into a 280 character tweet or a minute long story on Instagram or Facebook. This one encompasses a lot of information because I made a commitment to myself that in starting this, I would be as transparent as possible in hopes that what I'm doing and going through may help someone else.  Last July when I made the choice to put myself first and focus on becoming a healthier version of me, I was focused on losing. I just wanted to lose weight. I wanted to stop taking medicines for medical issues that I could control. This is the focal point the reality in which I am living in.  Or at least it was. In 365 days, I have lost weight. I have lost inches off of my body. T

Looking a Little More Fluffy

  My absolute favorite Barrett look is when he gets all fluffy. Living in Florida, the fluff gets hot for him so I don't let him stay fluffy for long, but damn if he isn't the snuggliest little dude ever when his hair gets all long! However, I don't like me as much when I get all fluffy. It's not nearly as cute to see or snuggle up to I'm sure! 😅 To be transparent, I want to talk about the successes AND the struggles as I power through this weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey I'm on. Right now, I am driving the struggle bus a bit.  Really, the number on the scale is not everything and I now know that. In the past, I have focused so much on that little digital number and would get super discouraged if I saw fluctuation, especially if it was headed in an upward direction. But losing weight is so much more than that. It's about the way you feel, the confidence you have in the way you look and yourself in general, but more importantly, maintaining a susta

Year 2 and What's New

Image
2 YEARS 👉🏼 2020-2022 July 8th is my anniversary with myself. I saw my social media memories pop up that day and almost shared it, but decided that I’d wait until I had the time to really cover all of the information I wanted to about this. This now marks 2 YEARS that I’ve been working on myself: physically, mentally, and emotionally.   I made the decision to share this on social media as a piece of accountability and during that first year, it truly helped keep me motivated. Knowing that I have even one person watching me and keeping up with what I am attempting to accomplish was enough to keep me going. I worked out mostly at home using Beachbody, which I am forever grateful for, with the occasional appearance in the gym, until I stepped away from that “for good” for personal reasons. I was learning to make more positive healthy food choices and slowly started dropping old habits. I focused heavily on the scale and. inches lost, utilizing my scale as a tool and positive experience.
