Hi all!
First, before I post this I want to acknowledge that weight loss isn’t easy! I certainly understand that it’s a difficult journey that looks different for everyone and I by no means am trying to gloat or brag, but I am really excited!
In January 2019 I was diagnosed with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis with stage 1 fibrosis and was told that the only course of action was to lose weight. I’m 29 and the amount of scarring on my liver was/is pretty concerning and my doctor told me that I could be looking at a liver transplant by 40 if I didn’t make meaningful changes. I thought then was a good time to set a New Years resolution and to stick with it.
I didn’t set a number on the scale that I wanted to hit, but instead set my resolution to commit to my physical, financial and mental health. I’ll spare the details of my financial and mental health given the sub, but it all did play into my weight loss goal. Therapy really helped me understand that anxiety is a major factor in my diet!
Through my diet and exercise I was able to shed just under 50 pounds by the end of 2020 and officially hit my 50 pounds lost mark today! Im really excited and just wanted to post it here as I don’t have too many people in my life that would truly want to celebrate.
I’m still going strong and want to work towards some races with a goal of doing a 10k by the end of 2021! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
