52 Pounds Down .... 60 more to go! With some pictures.

So back in November of last year, my life finished being completely turned upside down. I had lost my Dad a little over a year before, received a surprise step daughter that moved in with us full time and then the straw that broke the camel's back was my husband leaving me. I was licking my wounds and had to pack up my boys and I and move back in with my Mom. After being there a few weeks I got on the scales and saw that I had reached 234 pounds. For most women this is too much, on my 4'11 frame this was extremely unhealthy and even deadly. My Blood pressure was completely out of control and I didn't want to get up in the morning........ever. It clicked that I had completely just gave up on everything and wanted to start caring again. My boys deserved a mom, and I deserved to be happy! I don't have a picture from November. I actually completely denied anyone a chance to take a picture of me. However, my nephew got this first picture of me at my sisters birthday party in January. Seeing this picture was even more of a wake up call than my out of control blood pressure. I have steadily been losing weight with the help of My Fitness Pal and Thrive. (Not pushing product, promise!) This is my progress so far. I have quite a ways to go to be the doctors idea of "healthy", but I am getting there, one day and one pound (sometimes it feels like one ounce) at a time! I hope someone feels inspired by this and realizes that they too deserve to be happy and can positively do it! You just have to believe in yourself! Thank you for taking the time to read!
