[M 20 6']
I've always been heavy and had just accepted it. Years went by and I didn't change a thing. I knew that I was too heavy but I justified it by telling myself that I carried it well, or it didn't affect my ability. In reality that was just armor to protect myself from my own broken promises. Again and again I'd say I'm going to start trying only to self-sabotage with "I'll start next week" or "Just one more slice".
A few months ago I was laying in bed dwelling on what I had failed so many times before when I decided enough was enough. It was time to enact serious change and keep my promises to myself.
With that I started keeping a journal of sorts where I hold myself accountable each day (or close to it). I have found that to be immeasurably helpful in actually keeping myself positive and proactive. Of course a journal isn't what's caused me to lose weight. The only real thing I've done is count calories and cut my intake. I never really realized how much food I ate before. Now I keep myself around 2,000 a day or perhaps a bit less. I'm not particularly active but do walk a fair amount during the workday. Soon I hope to add more exercise with the coming nice weather.
Finally to my reason for posting tonight:
There have been a few effects of my weight loss that I had certainly noticed before today (primarily my belt and some clothes)but I was standing in the mirror tonight and it actually hit me that I was starting to look a bit different. It isn't huge but damn if it wasn't exciting.
I've got a long way to go but I'm absolutely thrilled to be making progress and am as dedicated to getting it done as ever.
Pics for those interested Angles probably play a big part but hey, life's good.
Tldr; Used to be fat, still fat but less so
