My Almost Two Journey with Pics

This is my story about my journey. This journey has not been easy for me due to non supportive family members and friends. On my journey I was told you will never lose weight. Why I asked; cause you work overnights and eat pass six, it’s hard to lose weight, it’s hard to be on a diet. Well I prove them all wrong cause I lost the weight. As one of my best friend on (MFP) Sexycook & MsQt would say this is a lifestyle change not a diet. On this journey of losing weight to be healthy I have lost friends and family members. Why because they say I change; yeah change for the better (to be healthy) no they say your different; yeah I say different as in smaller ( to be healthy); no they say your just conceded now; no I say I have confidence in my self ( no more walking with head down, hiding in pictures, no more wondering what people say or think about me in public. No more embarrass to go shopping for clothes. My family and friends have been so negative toward my weight loss (example) back in the days I was the biggest person in my family; the fat girl. We would go shopping and my family and friends like to take me shopping in stores like 5,7,9, knowing darn well I could not fit nothing in that store. Now I asked them to go shopping cause I can fit in clothes that size and nobody wants to go shopping with me; why cause I am no longer the fattest person in my family and friends. My family and friends will not asked me out to lunch, brunch, drinks and etc; why I asked cause your on a diet and starve yourself. Starve myself I don’t think so I eat like a hog and that is why I exercise so much, but anyway who say I can’t have a cheat day or meal every once in a while cause once again this is a lifestyle change. Don’t let me get started about the negative comment (your too small, dries up crack head, your obsessive, your taking this exercise stuff over board, you have no curve now, the big negative you will gain it back (really) did you not hear me say it’s a lifestyle change to be healthy. That mean I am no longer taking cholesterol meds, iron pills and on a low dose blood pressure med. I get more support, encouragement, and jobs well done from MFP family and friends than my actual blood family members and long time friends, but of course once again like my best friend Sexycook & MsQt said (it all about me), therefore I don’t need gratitude form nobody but myself, cause this is my journey but it does hurt when family outcast you just for being healthy.

I started this journey back in January of 2010 due to different health problems. I gave myself two years to weigh in at 162 pounds. I have lost a total of 83 pounds and is 2 months 2 pounds away from my goal and two year time frame. I bust my butt everyday and yes I have days I fall off the wagon but I dust myself off and get right back into the routine of being healthy(Example) I just come back from a beautiful vacation In Dominican Republic gain 13 pounds but no worries cause I will be just as determine and dedicate to lose the weight and will lose the weight in no time.
