The first picture is me one year ago today! 3 days before I started my fitness journey. I weighed 196 lbs and wore a UK size 18 clothing and I was pretty miserable about how I looked and was extremely worried about my health and my future!
The second picture is me 2 weeks ago heading out to a staff christmas party! I now weigh 166lbs and wear UK size 12 clothing. I have lost 30lbs and dropped 3 dress sizes.
I am happy and smiley and have grown in confidence and feel more like my own person. This is not just from my weightloss but also from my learning more about myself and deciding on who I want to be in life.
I have learnt that it is okay for me to put myself first, that it is okay to say no and that it is okay to be me. I have learnt that food is fuel and not a coping mechanism. I have learnt that love exists and I may have a difficult family but I am also now part of the most loving and caring family ever.
I am going to continue my journey in health as I still have far to go with my physical and mental health. I’m still working on it. Change doesn’t always happen quickly but I managed this in in a year.
You never know what you are capable of if you don’t try!
I hope you all don’t mind me sharing this but I found this picture out thanks to Facebook and I just needed to share it!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
