When we look in the mirror what do we see? I used to see someone who I thought looked a lot smaller than I really was. I thought I looked good. Oh I knew I was overweight, still am in fact, but not as big as I was when I started this journey on June 1. It was a complete shock to me that I was 367 pounds. It was to be perfectly honest, horrifying. I did not know I had gotten that big and unhealthy. Getting a CPAP machine last year, debilitating knee pain, and other health issues were not enough to make me realize I was in serious trouble.
Yesterday, I weighed in at my Weight Watchers meeting and I was down again. I have lost 45 pounds. I am super excited. When I look back at all the years that I struggled, I could not believe that I did not do this sooner. I am not going to beat myself up over this. I made choices. I ate it, I own it. Since the change in my life has started, I am happier, healthier, and stronger.
Back to the mirror. I am noticing the changes more now. So are people that is very cool. I am excited to see what I will look like in the coming months. I think that I am starting to look like the person I thought I was. I can't wait to not even recognize myself.
