Just wanted to share my thoughts somewhere, I typically try not to think about my progress because I’m still not where I wanna be. But I was feeling good this morning!
I started my weight loss journey last summer weighing 310 pounds at my heaviest. I hated the way I looked. I would avoid going out in public or hanging out with friends because I was ashamed with how big I got over the years. I wouldn’t even take pictures (pretty sure my last social media picture is 5+ years ago). My depression was at an all time high so I finally decided to take action.
I started going to the gym. Nothing insane, just 30-40 minutes of light cardio 5 days a week and very light weight training. I completely eliminated sugar from my diet and cut back drastically on carbs. I’m 29 years old and 6’4” and this morning I’m down to my lowest weight since I was 21 years old. I weighed in this morning at 185 pounds. That’s 125 pounds down from my heaviest. I don’t put TOO much stock in BMI but I went from a 37.7 BMI and classified as obese to a 22.5 BMI and classified as normal.
For the first time during this entire journey I finally felt good about myself and what I see in the mirror. I still have a ways to go, but I’m getting there!
