A Year Makes a Big Difference

Well, a year ago I was graduating with my Bachelor's of Arts degree. I was lost, confused, happy, and heartbroken all at the same time. I weighed 193 lbs. I wanted to stay where living where I went to college, since I fell in love with the area (and I was in love with a man there) but because of the economy - things didn't work out. Neither did the romance - since the man decided he didn't want a long distance relationship. My world was crumbling, I had no control over anything - so I started taking control of my fitness and eating habits.

Well, here I am - a year later. I have lost 31-33 lbs (depending on the day) weighing between 160 and 162. I have hit a plateau for the last two months, but I am not letting it get me down because I have done fantastic so far. Things are looking wonderful - I will be moving in a couple months to go to graduate school, have a new potential romance to blossom, and am going to move on towards my career - but this year, I am healthy, fit, and active. Now, I can't even imagine not being active - the way I was before.

I only hope that next year I will be closer to my goal weight, happy, and healthy. This is a journey, a process - nothing in life worth anything comes easy.

So, keep your head up, keep working hard, and you will see results in time. It'll feel a lot better in a year if you stay on track then it will if you don't see immediate results and throw in the towel. :flowerforyou:
