Hey so I was offered some awesome advice and help from members of this group! And I want to take the time to just say thank you!
My fitness Journey to 160 lbs is going much smoother than I thought it would thus far.
I started this whole fitness thing off as part of a competition, now I always wanted to be fit again since having a baby and getting a mom bod I lost my motivation and just stayed stagnant at 230lbs/104kg/16 stone.
I had lost myself to late night eating,over eating and under eating my relationship with food is very toxic.
So my family decided to do a fitness challenge and whomever lost the most weight by November would be declared the winner and would have the privilege of taking the money we all pooled together. At first it sounded okay but then something clicked in my head. I don’t want to get fit for money I want to get fit for me. I want to lose weight healthily. I didn’t want to just drop weight because I wanted extra money. So I started eating cleaner. I have been eating clean the past 3 weeks now.
Fitness really is 90% diet! I’ve started losing weight! I have been doing a 30 day fitness challenge everyday and going to the gym or playing a sport. Weight has started coming off. I’m already down 10lbs. But I know there will be a week when I see no change. I know there will be a time when I want to quit.
I felt guilty the other night when I ordered 30 cheese sliders from white castle. I fully intended on eating easily 10. And then eating the rest passively throughout the night. But then I had a duh moment. Its okay to eat that stuff instead of 10 I ate 4. Instead of ignoring my cravings I embraced it.
I’m human. I love food. Snacking is my bestie. So I’m not giving up anything I love just slightly changing my life’s recipe.
I wrote all of this to say that this journey you have embarked on… it wont be easy… there wont be instant results, but it will be rewarding. It took me getting tired of doing nothing for me to do something. Have that extra cookie today eat a slice of pizza. But just remember to bounce back. It’s not a set back its a reward! And you’re doing amazing!
And if no one today told you I accept you as you are now I’ll embrace you when you’re at your best. And I’m proud of you keep up the good work!
