1 year ago my life changed drastically. I lost both of my parents in a short period of time. I was devastated and my go to for stress and depression was food. I gained 40 pounds in 3 months and was at my heaviest at 273.2 pounds.
Maybe it was all the chairs with arm rests that I had to squeeze into that made me uncomfortable. Maybe it was my own inner voice so loud I thought that people were staring at me and pointing and laughing at how fat I was. Maybe it was coming to the conclusion that if I continued down this road, I would not get to meet my grandchildren, or be able to play with my own children, or be able to travel, etc.
9 months ago I decided to start a journey to change my life in a positive way. I got professional help and started researching and believing that I can and have to make a change in my life. I have accepted the belief that, if I stop I will die.
It’s been a really tough fight to loose 107.6 pounds and I’m not at my goal yet. But having discipline and the determination to rise after every setback has lead me to a path where I am no longer fearful for my life.
The biggest change I made in my life was the commitment to myself. I read a book (sorry forgot the name of the exact one) that talks about this concept. If your grandmother asks you to be at her house at 6am because she needs help getting groceries, chances are you’re going to be there, no matter how sleepy you are. So then why do we decide to get up at 6am the next day to work on ourselves and when tomorrow gets here, we push our snooze button and save it for another day. Never hit the snooze button! Make the commitment to yourself that you’re not going to let yourself down anymore. Anyone can do it!
Please feel free to comment or message me directly. I would love to share my tips and tricks that have helped me along the way!
