I have no pictures of me at my heaviest weight. Close to 350lbs. I didn't want people taking pictures of me. I weigh almost 60lbs lighter now. I have a personal trainer at the gym who I train with 3 days a week usually. She is incredible and really makes be work without being a real jerk...even when I'm whining and begging to stop lol.
Recently I have started eating clean...it's a big change. I've gone on many diets...NutriSystem,WW, South Beach, Bernstein, Mayo Clinic, Cabbage Soup, Hgb and many others...they all worked at some point but either stopped working or I stopped. This is my last chance...I need to lose weight before I start getting some serious health conditions. I want to live to see my daughter grow up and eventually enjoy grandkids. This is my new life and I want to share my journey...the victories, the challenges and even the failures.
Love that you are sharing your journey. I also blogged my weight loss journey. Not an easy thing to do but the emotions are real. I remember you thin almost 20 years ago. It really has been that long. Time flies. Weight loss is a real struggle and a life change. Sounds like your on the right track and it is amazing how our children inspire us. Wish all the luck. You go girl !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I'm hoping this keeps me accountable as well as inspires others to do the same...20 years...has it really been that long lol...but it's been almost that long that I've been struggling with my weight...but more so the past 10.5 years...and I can't even blame it on my child lol
