More than just Losing weight, Gaining self.

SisterhoodoftheShrinkingPants

Hello, Im looking for people to add. I thought Id introduce myself by talking about what this journey has meant to me so far. Its about so much more than just losing weight, its about finding ME underneath all the skin. Who am I? What do I love? Why did I eat so much that I became obese? Why am I trying so hard to change? Everyday I find new reasons to stay with this process. Im finding myself. Im not a fat person. Im a girl who hid. Now Im waking up, coming alive again. I feel my body for the first time in years (what are ab muscles LOL). WOW. I have one body, one life. I need a strong one so I can do things. So I can meet my goals, my ambitions, my dreams. Food is fuel. Food is delicious. But it is not my world anymore. I eat to live. I dont live to eat. Almost 50lbs down I can suddenly live without pain. Without shame. And Im only half way~ whats it going to feel like when I reach my goal? what lessons will I have learned by then? I am beyond excited about this journey..so much beauty already, I cant wait to see what tomorrow holds! If youre new, keep going! it gets better. And if youre not new, congrats for not giving up! We got this!!!
