Some of you might remember me from my first thread awhile back, and some of you might not have ever read it. To refresh, I had dealt with a lot of stuff growing up, and then had hurt my chest (years later) as a result of attempting an exercise routine which only complicated things. I was unable to do simple tasks, i.e. move a box, or even pick up my cat. It hurt to move, and I stayed that way for a really long time. Anyway, I wrote up a little something below to give a brief update to the people who did read my first post. :]
I just erased every word of what I typed two years ago... There really is no point in keeping it there since I've made a great deal of progress. I recently weighed myself! I am now under 120 lbs. and am helping others achieve their weight loss goals. I still would like to lose a little more, but it's going to take time and more work! I can't wait. I suppose the point of writing this to you all is to say thank you for your encouraging words and to give you an update. I feel way more energetic than I have over these past few years!! I see everything in a whole new light now. I walk on the treadmill regularly; watch my intake of certain food + drink (no soda!!). I just got through telling someone how crazy it is to not even want soda anymore like I used to; I guess its all due to me not drinking it in so long that I don't crave it like I once did.
I definitely have noticed "the change" and could not feel any better. The only complaint I have now is my asthma-related problem. It seems to have gotten worse over the past year. I used to only have a touch of it, and it makes it hard for me to be able to exercise like I want to. Sometimes the inhalers work, sometimes they don't. Aside from that, I am sooooooooo glad that I've come this far-- I never thought I would! It just seemed that no matter what I did or how hard I worked it would never happen.
Thanks again everyone for the concern~!
