I can finally see it

thatblueyedchic · January 2013

I didn't think I would write one of these until I was at my goal weight, but I guess I've realized the importance of the goals in between recently. On Friday I started C25K for the third time and skipped ahead to week 2. I've never been much of a runner, but I powered through it easily. As I switched into my cool down, I remembered the first time I had tried, over a year ago, and had huffed and puffed my way through day 1. Not anymore. I think that made me realize that even if I don't really see it, I do feel it. I'm stronger and healthier now than I was before and that alone is worth celebrating.

So tonight I did something I usually avoid. I looked at pictures of myself from the past few years, and I'm actually glad I did. I realized that I CAN see a difference. What a good reminder to keep going. :happy:

Around a year and a half ago, when I was at my heaviest and was avoiding scales.

Yesterday.

Great job, you can definitely see it in your face. I love the "Whole Foods" in the background -lol.

I wasted my 20s and 30s being overweight and truly regret it. Don't go back there.
