This is 100 lbs difference. But this is also a lot more than that. I lost a lot more than weight over the past few years. And gained a lot, too.
Listen, yeah I look a lot better. But that’s not the point of this post. I was sick and miserable and I no longer am!!
In the left picture, I was losing my (very weak) hair. My skin was always breaking out and my arms were prickly and annoying. I had a lot of odd body hair that I hated. I always felt like I smell. I was always tired. I would suffer going up the stairs. I hated when my fiends would drag me to Zumba or the mall or anything really. My appetite was all over the place. I looked a lot older. And I was taking 3 pills/day for insulin resistance and pre-diabetes. The kicker? I was just 20 years old!!!
Everything is different now. Of all the changes that I went through that I am super proud of, being healthy is the one that is its own reward. I’m healthy! I’m no longer prediabetic. I don’t need medicine. I don’t need to get my blood drawn every few months. I choose to take the stairs every time. My hair is so much healthier. My skin is clear. I don’t feel like shit most of the time. And I’m no longer miserable!!
Yes I lost a lot of weight. But what I gained is so much more important.
