So far, I have lost about 60, it's hard to tell exactly because at my heaviest I wasn't a fan of the scale. Did I take a miracle drug or rely on a fad diet? No, I didn't. Throughout my journey, I have messed up, made mistakes, slept through workouts, ate healthy, chose things for my body that provide fuel and nutrients over cheeseburgers, and learned things about nutrition and fitness that were previously foreign to me. I have been frustrated, proud, happy, and depressed throughout my journey, sometimes all in one day. One day I will feel beautiful and healthy, and the next I will feel frustrated and stagnant with my progress.

My point here is that weight loss is tough. It has ups and downs, and occasionally you have to remind yourself that messing up isn't the end of the world....but giving up entirely is. Did I always make the healthiest decisions? No. But I haven't given up, This whole thing has been a learning process and I am a wildly different person than I used to be. Perfect? No. But what fun is that, anyway.

This was me at my heaviest weight exactly a year ago.
