Good Morning Everyone, I hope you're all well. :)
Exactly 2 years ago today, at the age of 50 (not my birthday), I decided to finally do something about my weight, I'd had minor surgery a couple of weeks before & there were a few moments of panic all round as they thought I was about to drop dead of a heart attack.
During a checkup at the doctors I weighed in at 278lbs, Morbidly Obese & on the verge of becoming Diabetic, oddly enough the blood test they did showed my Cholesterol levels were normal. The advice from the Nurse was "Lose Weight or Die". A bit blunt but as it turns out it was what I really needed to hear.
So 2 years ago today I sat down right where I am now & started reading r/loseit to find a way to lose weight that I could stick to in the long term & the people of the forum really came through for me.
I finally decided on CICO as the way to go, bought myself a set of scales, bathroom & kitchen, & got to work changing my life, I weigh everything that can be weighed, check the calories of everything & Log it all, I calculate my calorie intake limit every week & mostly stick to it, there are times when I slip up but the next day I just keep going.
Today it's 2 years since I started the weight loss journey & I'm 80lbs lighter at 198lbs, I'm still overweight by 23lbs of my original goal of 175lbs but I'm almost there at long last & without r/loseit I doubt I'd have even started.
THANK YOU!
Hopefully my story can help someone else out there who wants to lose weight. YOU CAN DO IT!
