The picture on the left was me a few years ago probably at my heaviest point which was upwards of 300lbs. I reached a point where I stopped using the scale and I just didnāt want to face it. The picture on the right is me now with lots of room in that same dress, hence the sports bra so I donāt flash the ladies at you all! I am still in the low 200s but I am determined to reach my goal weight between 140 and 150. I donāt have that much to go.
I still have what weāll call āmechanicalā problems, which do cause me to get seriously sick sometimes. Supposedly Iām either eating too quickly or not chewing enough and food is gettig stuck. So I am trying to be mindful of how fast Iām eating and how much Iām chewing. Iāve overcome the āexercise is a choreā flu Iāve had for so long and realize itās just something Iāve got to do to live a healthy lifestyle. As for my diet there is no more soda, diet or otherwise; Iāve cut back the bread and I eat next to no pasta, plus Iām for the most part caffeine free. I also eat very little red meat and stick to mostly chicken and pork ok thereās an occasional fish stick thrown in there. Iāve just never been a fish person but baked in the oven it isnāt so bad. Iāve also cut back on eating out. One, I feel like itās such a waste since if I donāt share I end up eating it the next day and throwing out the rest and two, Iāve discovered that most of the time my cooking is way better than what I could get when Iām out. Plus I can portion out just enough and waste very little.
So am I happy that I did this?? Extremely! Do I think my weight would have come off any other way?? Probably not. Iāve now bought a few new t-shirts since I look like a bag lady in my old shirts. Iāve also discovered things in my closet that I bought and maybe never wore bc they were too small, but guess what they fit now! What can I say iām excited about the next phase of my journey and thank you all for coming along with me this past year. And yes I do plan to keep blogging about my continuing weight loss so stay tuned and happy reading!
