Miracle's Happen, They CAN happen to YOU!!!!
Here I am again with my "Long time; no see" speech
Since changing my lifestyle to a healthier one almost 3 yrs ago, I tend to find myself trying to be more self-supportive. Besides rebuilding my computer, working my ass off (literally) and the over all sheer joy of being a first time home owner, I have not had as much time to spend journaling on-line. I still keep my written journal (a key to my so called sucess). I found lots of support reading other entries and of course the articles.
I say to myself, "I only have to loose 10 more lbs to be 100 lbs down." Everyone says, So youve lost 90lbs. NO Ive damn near lost 100 lbs!!!!! That's almost another person!!! I think back and its like dang, how did that happen, How did I become almost 270 lbs. I watch Celebrity Fit camp and see people that weighed the same and think to myself, I dont look anything like that.
Sitting with my man I nudge him, "am I really that fat?? And of course the answer is always no. Well I was, and it was really hard to put in place until I went to cut my old jeans into shorts for the summer ( I never go shopping). Those jeans were sooo big it was like a weight watchers video. I could fit my boyfriend in those jeans with me!! For the first time in probably more than 5 years I was able to buy shorts from the womans section, NOT the Plus Size section!!!! It was probably the biggest jolt of reality Ive had in years. I feel like Ive just been living in this rut of priorities,(losing weight, pleasing my man, caring for my animals(kids), working) There was nothing new happening. Its amazing how it felt to buy shorts, let alone shorts in the womans dept. I even had this vision in my head of buying a bathing suit, being only 25 i know Im young, but I have ALWAYS been fat, I have not owned a bathing suit since I was in 3rd grade. (thats what, 8-9yrs old!!) And lord knows I was no model back then either.
The fight isnt over yet with 35lbs left to go, but my motivation has sky-rocketed!!!!!
Geeze thats soooooo crazzy. It was like yesterday when I layed in bed thinking there was no way in hell I would ever loose 100 lbs, I just needed to get some kind of surgery.
I admit the best support is from people who know me who make the comments, Wow you are looking good. Or, Wow I barely recongnized you!
Although im sure they are flattering me, Its part of my new makeover to accept compliments as what they are."nice words" not pitty!!
All I can say is I had NO FAITH that my life would change. Now that Im down to 170lbs I may even put a picture of me on my computer instead of always using my puppies!!!
Dont give up people. Its never too late to change your life!!!!
