What a year it has been

 

This year has been a real roller coaster ride for me. A failed relationship, my profession slipping away and all the while trying to keep my weight loss mission on track.

I have learned a great deal about myself and what makes me tick. When you put yourself out there like I have done with this blog, it makes you take stock in your thoughts and actions.

The most revealing thing that I have learned is that I was reluctant to lose the last 25 pounds because it would put me firmly in the land of normal weight people. I have never lived there before and therefore uncomfortable with the attention it would bring me. I hid behind my fat my whole life but it is time to embrace what I have done for myself and live life to it’s fullest.

The one thing that I am sure of is that I want to help others do what I have done. We all know that losing weight is hard and losing more than half of myself has been the hardest thing I have ever done. But I am now living the life I always dreamed of and I am so glad that I put down my fork and started moving my butt.

 

 

It was the small actions that when followed daily turned out to have the greatest results.

Weighing myself daily.

Eating balanced, well-portioned meals

Getting regular exercise

And most importantly, making myself and my health, a daily priority.

Join me in the New Year for a great year of healthy living. I deserve it and so do you!
