Its kind of crazy to think Ive lost almost 30 pounds now. I remember when I first started my dieting/exercise my goal weight was 138lbs and here I am, finally after a year and a half of falling off track over and over again, wanting to eat everything in sight and just giving in to those damn doughnuts.. I did it! I accomplished what I said I was going to. Not only have I lost weight, but all of this has helped me find myself. I can run 3 miles and hardly feel winded, when a year ago I couldnt run more than 5 minutes without pulling out my inhaler. Its been a frustrating and emotional journey for me, because I have a tendency to give up and never finish something. Instead of seeing the results and improvement, I saw all the flaws. Instead of being happy with every small victory, I compared myself to everyone else and all it did was discourage me and make me feel insecure about myself. I never actually thought I could be the person I wanted to be. But I kept it up. I kept running every day, I ate broccoli instead of pizza and over time I started to realize that it wasnt really about losing weight, or being skinny. Its about how freaking amazing I feel when I wake up and know I had to work my butt off (literally..... Squats are on my to-do list.) for it all. I have more energy, Im happier, Im healthier and because I treat my body right, it treats me right. But most importantly, Im confident in myself. I may not be where I want to be yet, But I feel pretty awesome for finally accomplishing one of my biggest goals. And if theres one thing Ive learned, its that improvement takes TIME. lots of it. like, you better have back-up watches.
