Wellness Wednesday - My weight loss testimony.

When I stepped on the scale this morning,  it said 248.2lb. It's heading back in the right direction and that's a plus. Keep pushing!!! With that being said, I want to share my testimony....

I want to share my struggle with my weight loss journey.  I know when most of you see me, you see this outgoing person, and for the most part I am. However there are days when I can't stand the way I look because of all this extra weight I have  carried around for almost 12yrs.

I have my struggles especially when it's time to try on clothes...it's something about that damn dressing room mirror, I swear it's the devil, lol. I have my pity party and I get a little discouraged...but then I remind myself you can do this!!!

Starting in January I became determined to lose 80-100lbs. I know that sounds drastic,  but most of you don't know how much I weighted when I started this journey. In January I weighted 256lbs...I was in shock!!! I have never been this heavy in my life. So from that day forward I made small steps to change my lifestyle and become a better, healthier and fit me.

I want this weight to stay off forever, so slow and steady works for me. I was down almost 10lbs in April, but I had slipped back into eating bad and not exercising, that I gained 3lbs back. I didn't't let that stop me or discourage me. I pushed forward and got back on track.

I'm not in a competition to see who loses the weight the fastest...I'm doing this to save my life and be here for as long long as I can. I will be 40yrs old and I want to be around 40 more years. I say all this to say, it has to start somewhere ladies. Make up your mind and get moving...you can do this!!!
