I'm a 5'2F in my mid-20s. This time last year, I was 197 lbs. It was by far the heaviest I had ever been. I put on over 25 pounds after my parent died two years before, was working a stressful job, and not prioritizing my health. At the beginning of quarantine, I decided I needed to change my life. I took up running and began taking portion control seriously.
I'm now 163 pounds and out of the "obese" weight category for the first time in years! My mile time dropped from over 14 minutes to an 8:50 minute mile. I like photos of myself again. I sleep better. I feel energetic and strong. I still want to lose about 20 more pounds, but I know that I've already made so many positive changes and will continue to make sustainable progress.
I want everyone making New Year's resolutions to know that if you want your life to look different, you can make that happen! Change has been hard and slow, but it's possible!
