ACCOMPLISHMENTS

For the last 32 weeks I have focused on "calories in and calories out" and what the scale says. Well this month I am NOT letting the SCALE define me but all the ACCOMPLISHMENTS I have made in the past 8 1/2 months!!!

I was ALWAYS focused on the eating and exercising portion but weight loss is SOOO much more than just that it is about finding yourself and dealing with the emotional side which caused me to be overweight. I haven't believed in myself or loved myself in years but let you tell you that I am so proud of myself and all that I am accomplishing

Here are some of my accomplishments:
-I have dropped 4 shirt sizes (3XL-XL)
-I have dropped 6 pant sizes (23XL-18)
-I have found a passion for running; yes me running
- I have lost 62.8 LBS and 64 inches!!!
-I have gone from being an emotional eater to someone who execises to deal with emotions
-I found a happier side of me that I have NOT seen in years!!!
-I dropped my ring from a size 11 to a 9
-I have grown closer to GOD throughout this journey; I realized that instead of craving food I need to crave GOD:)
-I have found a love for dresses and those that know me think thats crazy cause I used to be a HUGE tomboy!

More than the weight I lost or the accomplishments I have succeed in; I am truly happier, healthier, more confident about myself and I am able to say yes I am beautiful or if I hear it accept it:)



Completed day 1 of C25K; first time REALLY running and enjoying it in over 3 years!!!!!



On the left is me at the start weighing 309.8 and on the right is the current me weighing 247.0



This was my battle tonight! These were NOT the stairs but the layout of the platform and it was a decent jump between each one and I honestly mentally kept telling myself that I wouldn`t be able to jump it, that I would fall or get hurt but I pushed through that mental barrier and succced and jumped and landed perfectly on each step:) I felt so accomplished I did something I set out to do:) I CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!
