Yesterday was a good day. My run started awfully but it got better. I came home stretched and then took the opportunity to really appreciate how far I have come.
At my heaviest ever I was 225 pounds. That’s 102 kilograms. I weighed that much in college. It’s no surprise why. 1) I was stressed out, a lot. 2) I didn’t sleep a full 7 hours. 3) I was a binge drinker. 4) I ate SO MUCH crap and last but not least 5) I didn’t exercise regularly. Almost 2 years later today I find myself at 78.6kg. That’s a loss of 23.4kg and 7.2 of those kgs were lost with diet bet.
Let me tell you it WAS NOT easy, it IS NOT, easy. But I’m doing it and it feels so, so good. More than seeing that number on the scale go down, it is the knowledge that I went through with this promise to myself that I would lose this weight once and for all, that makes me so happy. I have tried countless, I mean countless times, to lose this weight ever since I was 13 years old and it messes with your head. You never feel like you are good enough.
I am good enough. I know that now. This journey has helped me realize that and you beautiful, amazing people keep me going. Our weight should never be an excuse for not living our lives fully. We only have one life. Let’s make it count.
