I’m a 22 year old female and I started my health journey on May 5th of this year. My highest weight was 200 (5’3) pounds, but my starting weight in May was 191 pounds, today I weighed in at 178 pounds. Which sounds like a decent amount of weight, but I cannot for the life of me see any difference! I was feeling so incredibly discouraged because my clothes fit the same, my measurements are the same and I look the same.
But then this past week I’ve done something I have not been able to do for a whole year since I weighed 200 pounds. It sounds dumb but I was unable to rearrange my closet. I have a small closet and tons of clothes (most don’t fit me at all) so I put all my winter clothes in big boxes and switch them out with my summer clothes when the seasons change. Being 200 pounds caused me to have 3 herniated discs in my back (along with that issue I already have a degenerative spine), so I basically couldn’t sit, walk or do anything. When I was at my heaviest I was basically immobile, which sounds crazy to be 22 and 200 pounds and immobile (I’ve seen people on the show my 600lb life and one guy was almost 800 pounds and he only had one leg, and he was still mobile!). I couldn’t even walk let alone lift anything. I was told if I didn’t have surgery soon I would be paralyzed soon because of where the herniated discs were. But I didn’t want surgery on my back, the complications are far too risky for spine surgery. All of this was told to me last year.
So here I am today, I moved all my boxes by myself. Cleaned out my whole closet and rearranged my whole room, without even taking a break or having any back pain whatsoever! A couple months ago I couldn’t sleep at all because my pain was so bad, I would literally cry at night, no medication would help. But here I am today and I haven’t had any pain at all in a month! It’s been incredible I feel like a normal person. I can do everyday things like shower and do laundry and cook and clean, without being in excruciating pain. It’s amazing, no surgery either! Just less weight on my back, before I couldn’t even sit down for a minute but now I can sit on a bike for an hour and be okay! Honestly thinking about how I feel now versus how I felt over a month ago, made me super proud and happy. What’s even more crazy is how everyone holds there weight differently, some people can get up to 500 pounds and be mobile, I starting struggling with mobility at 190-200 pounds. I know 13 pounds is nothing but it changed my life, I have hope now. Even if I can’t see the difference I can feel it. If any of you feel like giving up or feel like you aren’t noticing anything change physically, think about how you feel! And lastly do not give up, starting is the hardest part but once you feel the change it’s amazing!
