Just like many people, I struggle with my weight. Way back when, I wasn't big at all. This all has happened after marriage. I have had two kids which contributed to my weight gain, but whatever my body gains, it holds on to for dear life. I started to get comfortable being so heavy, and once I realized I was comfortable with the extra 70 pounds, something snapped. I told myself I refused to be so over weight. I started off watching what I ate only. I felt like I didn't have enough time to squeeze in exercise. Once I started seeing the numbers on the scale go down, I not only realized I had a little more energy, I forced my self to find time to exercise. I am currently down 38 pounds in 10 months. I still have about 20 more pounds to go to reach my goal. But it takes time and dedication. One thing I feel that really helped was realizing dieting DOES NOT work. Dieting is short term. I had to realized in order to get fit and stay fit, I would need to make a life change in my eating habits. Another thing I had to realize, I could not expect a quick fix; this is a slow process.
Sorry, the photo isn't the best quality of me at my heaviest. And its not quite a full body shot as I never took full body shots when I was so heavy due to my lack of confidence. But here is what I look like 38 pounds lighter. I am very proud of how much I have lost, but I still have a little more to go. I am sharing this in hopes to encourage someone else that is struggling with their weight. A friend of mine would keep track her weight loss via social media and I found it so encouraging. I will be posting more updates on my weight loss journey as I get closer to my goal. Are you on a weight loss journey? Please leave some modivational tips in the comments below:) Until my next post!
