So I’m starting off sucking at this whole trying to get back into this writing thing. Lol But I’m so excited at my accomplishment that I had to share it somewhere! I have lost my first 50 pounds!! I can’t believe it! And I’m so excited to lose the next 50!
I started in February of this year when I hit me highest weight, 332!! Ugh! I have always been big but nowhere near 332! EVERYTHING is harder when you are obese. Waking, standing for more than a few minutes, showering, buying clothes, even using the bathroom. I was disgusted and was finally ready to do something about it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I woke up one day and realized, Omg I’m fat! No. But there is a difference between wanting to lose weight and being ready to lose weight. Just like quitting smoking or drinking, you have to be ready to do it not just want it.
I have been making some pretty big changes since I turned 40. That was 7 years ago. Ugh! Lol The first big change was when I stopped drinking diet Pepsi. Omg I love diet Pepsi! I could easily drink 4-6 a day! I switched to Pepsi and down to 2 a day. I then went to 1 a day. Now, well I don’t drink soda every day, I go days or up to a week or more sometimes without one.
I then stopped smoking. I smoked 2 packs a day! I was very much a stress smoker which caused concern for my weight because I didn’t want to stop smoking and turn to stress eating… Then I realized that was just an excuse to keep smoking. I have control over how I control stress. I stopped smoking Nov. 5 2013. 2 days after my aunt died from cancer. I couldn’t breath (my asthma was way out of control) and I couldn’t afford it and I just lost a very close family member from the big C. I did vape for a little bit but it was more of a pain then anything. Good thing I guess lol.
I feel people as crazy as it is, I had a much easier time stopping smoking then I have not drinking diet Pepsi. Being around people smoking does not bother me. I don’t crave them at all. I walked away free and clear. I’m thankful and lucky. But diet Pepsi? Smdh I just love it! Lol
So now I’m following the weight watchers point thing. Except I don’t have WW, a friend at work found a knock off app that works the same way but you pay for it one time. And it’s working! Because of my arthritis is hard to exercise. And I’m lazy. I do try to get active more, and the more weight I lose the easier it should be to get moving. I have a bike peddle thing under my kitchen table I use when I’m working from home. And my office building is huge so I try to walk as much as possibly when I’m there. I also love to swim but the pool is now closed. I wish I could afford the gym membership at the local hospital because they have a pool.
So anyway, here I am. I just got side tracked by the husband so I will send this. If you made it to the bottle thanks for listening. :)
Peace
