I’ve been chubby my whole life. But not as bad as I’ve been in recent years.
This is the fourth new year I’ve started at a weight closer to 300 lbs than 200 lbs and every year I’ve made it my “resolution” to lose the weight and make it back into the 100s. And I think I’m finally understanding why the motivation has never lasted. It’s because I was always focusing on the superficial side of losing weight. I just wanted to look good again and fit into normal sized clothing. And believe it or not, in my head I’m still that 19 year old gal at 170 lbs; not 25 and 272 lbs.
So why I think it’s going to work this time is because I have goals beyond just being smaller and looking good. There’s so many activities that I used to love to do that I can’t at my current size. And there are so many more things I have yet to do.
I want to go to Cedar Point again and fit on every ride. I want to learn how to ice skate. I want to scuba dive. I want to travel and hike and feel free in my in body again. And I really think it’s possible this time. I am my own worst enemy, so I’m going to try and change and stick to my goals. I want to be better than I am now. I can do this.
We all can do this!
