Thoro Gem Thursday: Candice "Unending Battle" Williams

"The one lesson I've learned more than anything about my journey is that you have to love yourself and that includes the good and bad days as well as loving yourself on the outside and inside."- Candice Williams

This week's thoro gem is Candice Williams also known as Unending Battle on IG. I started following her weight loss journey over a year ago. I thought it was interesting that her handle is unending battle, because it's very true. Any type of change requires constant disciple and personal motivation to keep going despite what you feel. Even after you've fought the good fight and achieved your goal or at least a portion of your goal, sometimes it can still feel like you're battling with the old you. She has been such an inspiration for me on many different levels.

#1. Sis lost over 260 lbs NATURALLY. Now I don't judge anyone for any alterations they choose to make on their body. It's their body to do whatever whether that's weight loss surgery, implants, augmentations, fat transfer, ect. DO WHAT YOU YOU GOTTA DO FOR YOU! However, it is good to see someone who decided to take the road of dedication and discipline. #2. I personally know how devastingly stressful and discouraging this fight can be so the encouragement that she gives herself, she also pours into others through inspirational posts.

Candice works a full time job, takes care of three beautiful dogs and still finds time to teach body pump, body flow, and yoga throughout the week. The only surgery she has undergone were 4 excess skin removal surgeries which is understandable when you learn that she went from over 400lbs to 200 lbs. She looks great and her positivity radiates through her. She is totally open and authentic with her story about her physical and emotion transformation and even refers to her followers as "warriors", encouraging them to always push through. You can follow her journey on IG at @unendingbattle and her website www.unendingbattle.com








Doing the work and being an inspiration, Candice Williams you truly are a thoro gem.
