I have always been overweight. I have tried various weight loss programs and even on my own. When I was away at college I was able to lose 50+ pounds but once I graduated and moved back to my hometown, reality set in. I had a 1 year old son, a boyfriend, and needed to get out on my own. I could no longer focus on me.
Now that my husband and I are more stable I am ready to shift that focus. My breaking point was when I started my new job in April 2014. I went to the doctor in July and was the heaviest I ever thought I would be, fast forward to December when I had to go to the doctor again and I had gained 20 pounds in 5 months (ridiculous, I know). I buy the biggest size clothes and they still don’t fit right. I am fed up with not feeling comfortable in my clothes.
I have started my journey again 1/7/15 and have since lost 10.8 pounds. I try so hard not to give up but being a full time wife, mom, and career woman is exhausting and then now having to add meal prep and planning and calorie counting drives me crazy. I know that it’s hard now but once I get more into it and the healthier I become it won’t seem like a chore.
I look at all the women on Instagram and see how they have lost 200+ pounds naturally and it inspires me because I know how amazing it will be to tell my story when I lose the 180 pounds I need to lose.
Sorry for the sad story and complaining… just having one of my down days…
Time to get this fat off for good.
