I can't believe this!
I'm 5'6F and as of today, I weigh 149 lbs! This really made my day!
I've always struggled with my weight. When I graduated school (2 years ago), I moved back home and was 180 lbs. That was the heaviest I had ever been. I felt gross! I felt unhappy and unattractive. I know people always say that you can find clothes (or a size) to match your weight, but to be honest, when you are really overweight, clothes don't look good. I avoided going to dinner parties or invitations to social events for this reason. I couldn't even fit into my mom's clothes. I would get tired walking up the stairs and I decided I couldn't continue living like this.
I always had an unhealthy relationship with food, particularly with dessert. I'd resort to comfort eating any time I felt depressed, stressed, sad, etc.
I officially began my weight loss journey in February of this year. It's taken 7-8 months to lose 30 lbs. I made small changes such as cutting out sweets, measuring out my portions, and walked outside during the warmer months. MOST of my old clothes fit me now!
My goal weight is 120-125 lbs. Winter has always been a tough season for me so I decided in the mornings I will brave the cold and walk outside - with layers, a heavy coat, hat, gloves, etc. and be really disciplined with calorie counting. My next goal is to lose 10-15 lbs by March. It does get harder to lose weight as you get smaller, but, I'm not giving up! I know this time next year I will look like and feel like a different person!
Just thought whoever is reading this, that my story will give you some inspiration! No matter what it is that you're facing, you can do anything you set your mind to. Please don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It doesn't matter where you start. All it takes is (literally) that first step.
You can do it!
