Since October 2019, I went from 240 lbs to 198 lbs with simple diet(CICO) and exercise! I was so proud and I could see the difference in not only my body, but my health and fitness level. I wasn’t out of breath going up the stairs anymore, I could actually do more than 1 push-up! I was so proud of myself and I was on a roll. Then COVID happened and I was doing okay for the first 2 months with keeping up my weight loss, and then the last month was where it all fell apart. I started eating chips at night again, I stopped counting calories and I ate whatever I wanted. I was only working out once a week. I felt awful and I beat myself up for the choices I was making every day. I spoke to my trainer last week about it, and she said that feeling bad about myself and getting upset about my choices wasn’t going to change anything. I could love myself and be proud of my progress AND be in a slump and that was okay. It was then I realized that I could push through this and forgive myself for the past month. I’m now happily back on track with my diet and exercise, and if I crave chips at night time I opt for an apple instead. I didn’t think I could come back from that, but I did and I’m so happy I can now continue on with my journey. If and when I go into a slump again, I’m going to remember that weight loss is hardly ever a steady decline- it’s a bumpy road, filled with lots of ups and downs. I think I finally understand that now. So, if there is anyone out there like me who needed to hear this- I hope you remember to love yourself and be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at in your journey. Whether you’re on top of it, or struggling to stay consistent, or in a slump- you are an amazingly strong POWERHOUSE of a human being, and you deserve to be so proud of yourself.
