Met My Goal!

Thank you everyone for all the kind words and support. As far as tips go, just keep at it and forgive yourself when you slip up. You will get frustrated at times when you don't see results but keep pushing yourself to find out what you're really capable of.

When I started this journey, I said that I was going to lose 85 pounds and I was going to do it in a healthy way. At the time I also smoked a pack of cigarettes every day and I had pretty bad anxiety. In fact, the first time I ever tried going to the gym I had a panic attack, turned around and went home. I like to joke that it still counted as a workout because of the increased heart rate but maybe not haha. At that point in time I still told myself that I was going to do this but I don't think even I really believed it. It still took a few months before I thought to myself "wow, maybe I really can do this." The point is, keep working at it even when it gets tough and frustrating.
