In 2017 I started my weightloss journey using this group and lost 25 pounds, I was 15 pounds away from being a healthy weight again. But I wouldn't need to take another starting photo if this was how my story continued.
I started 2018 looking better than I had in a long time. But I had a rough end to 2017 and wasn't in a great place mentally. I was living with my food and drinking enabler sister, broke, jobless, single for the first time in a while, and under a mountain of debt. I tried to eat healthy but since my sister provided the food while I got back on my feet, I succumbed to some bad eating habits. She wanted me to go out with her every weekend, her treat. So we had a couple drinks and ate delicious food. I put back on 10 pounds by the time I was there 6 months. I met my partner shortly thereafter and we would go out to dinners all the time. Suddenly, I was another 10 pounds heavier. My job took a turn for the worse and the only thing my coworkers and I did together was eat. I gained another 15 pounds. My partner and I agreed to work on eating healthy and he has killed it, he is down 35 pounds. I have not been successful, unable to get away from to big things that make it difficult to lose weight- my sister and my job.
But it's time to stop making excuses. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I feel awful all the time. I'm past obese. I was so successful when I was in this community, it's time for me to buckle down and start again.
I took another starting point picture. I look huge and that's okay, it's my final before picture. I am excited to join the team challenge again tomorrow.
For everyone reading this who has fallen off the bandwagon and are nervous to restart, it's okay. Whether it takes a day or 2 years to rejoin, this group is always here. I'm here if you need someone to encourage you to start again. Every day is an opportunity for a fresh start and you can do this. I believe in us.
