Support and reassurance

Hello friends, I started my weight loss journey back in March at 255lbs. Originally I had exactly one goal in mind, to be healthier, for myself to feel better. I wanted just to move a little weight, one small step at a time. And when the weight did start coming off I did start feeling better, and everything started gaining momentum.

I found a work out partner. Someone just as excited as I was to be losing weight, and building health. Truth be told I am a fragile person, this journey was also about my mental health and growing there too. It was easy to fall for him. We worked out together, we shared diet food together, we dreamed together. And for the 30 days of our whirlwind friendship and romance losing weight was so very easy.

He left two weeks ago. And I’ve been very proud of myself for not falling off the wagon completely. I maintained my diet, and did some exercising (truth be told not as much as when we were together). The scale continued in my favor, and I can’t begin to tell you how good it feels to go through some hard stuff and not revert back to my old ways of eating and vegging out. I am currently down 42lbs, weighing in today at 213lbs.

Why I needed to post? Just need the support today, because I have so much more to lose. I need encouragement. Because sometimes this is really hard. And not having the support I grew to care about is hard. I know I need to be my own support and believe in myself. I am getting there, each day I am getting there. But for today I would love a little line of encouragement from my internet friends who have all been in my boat.

Thank you for the love and support!
