Never in my life did I actually think I was going to be able to lose the weight I wanted to lose.
It started after college (like it often does). I gained about twenty pounds. It wasn’t the weight that bothered me but the fact I felt I had no control over it. When I thought about working to lose it, I’d automatically have this pit in my stomach because I just didn’t think I had any control of myself. I didn’t think I’d be able to get myself to the gym or to get myself to stop eating boxes of cookies when I got home to try to make myself feel better about the day. Anyway, after dealing with a bunch of really stressful and physically taxing things this year like pregnancy and anti-depressant shopping, I started gaining more weight and getting that pit in my stomach again.
I’m not sure what hit me, but a few weeks ago, I realized I just wanted to feel better. Not about my weight, but just physically better. I wanted to be able to run and come home feeling energized. I turned around my eating habits and started prioritizing my nutrition and I started going to online group fitness classes which have been so fun! And I’m so proud of myself to say that while it’s not much, I lost my first five pounds!!!
