1 year, 130 pounds, and a belt

wizbeth1218

... what a difference it makes!

Then:
315 pounds (at my highest; I'm about 289 in the picture below)
Size 24 or 3X (although even that was a little snug)
Totally miserable

Now:
185 pounds
Size 12 or L (although some size 12s are too big. Women's sizing is stupid)
Running my first half-marathon next month

I'm just a smidge over 5'7" tall.

You can see the rest of the details at http://fatgirldiariesonline.com.



Here's the bottom line: start today. Right now. Forget about what you ate for breakfast or lunch earlier today or earlier this week. Put down that unhealthy snack. Every breath is a chance to make a better choice. So start right now and make the next right choice.

I work a full-time job and 2 part time jobs. I have 5 kids. One of my kids has pretty intense special needs and requires round-the-clock skilled care. We're broke and we live paycheck to paycheck. I have never ever been healthy. I am genetically predisposed to being overweight. I had a horrible childhood. I went through a messy divorce. I'm a food addict.

Seriously, name just about any excuse and it's my excuse, too.

But you can decide today to take your life back. Right now you can make the next right choice. You can.

This is beautiful! You are beautiful! This hit so close to home, because I had every excuse before. I made everything else a priority and let it take my full attention. Now that I drag myself to the gym at 5 am, or walk those 10 miles, or choose a sugar free chocolate pudding over a hershey bar-I realize that I had some sort of excuse for why I was fat, why I couldnt lose weight, why I couldnt exercise.

This post was just beautiful . I really appreciated it. Thank you.
