Hello my fellow fitness pal warriors

I'm Jessica and my journey began almost two weeks ago. Here I was headed into another summer feeling hideous, unhealthy,unfit, depressed. I have avoided water parks, bbq's and other such places out of embarrassment to be seen in revealing clothing. You see, all of my life until five years ago I was a healthy weight. I was very fit and had been an art model for over 20 years. But then I a bunch of things went wrong with my health and my weight suddenly climbed higher and higher. Each time I went to the doctor I dreaded the scale because there would be another ten lbs more and I just felt awful. I tried every solution the dr gave me. It wasn't working. Frustrated and depressed I sat thinking one night about what else to do. I suddenly remembered this coworker I had a few years ago who said she lost 65 lbs from going to a medical weight loss clinic. I found one close to me, checked all the reviews and made an appointment that has changed my life! Not only was I introduced to the MyFitnessPal app which I use religiously, but I've actually started losing weight instead of gaining for once!

You all, I'm so happy and excited! You don't know me but this gives me so much hope. I have stuck to my goals, been excercising, drinking more water, used the recipes here which are absolutely flavorful and delicious and I feel really good. This morning I looked in the mirror and saw my waist!!!! Like you don't know me but I actually didn't have a waist before. I had a potato. And it's been easy. Because of making that appointment with the doctor and because of this app and all the things it has to offer I literally cannot wait for NEXT summer when I'm going to be fit and healthy and in those little dresses again living my best life!
