I wasn’t going to weigh myself today...
I forgot my towel at the gym this morning for the first time ever. I love showering at the gym, so I was in a bad mood when I left drenched in sweat and smelling. I came home to shower and... I wasn’t going to weigh myself until after the holidays. I’ve been eating thanksgiving leftovers all week. Stuffing, potatoes, turkey, green bean casserole with fried onions on top, corn casserole, etc..... but I was standing in the bathroom with the scale right there and decided to step on... I didn’t look down at first because I thought about all of the things I’ve ate recently... I had pie, for God’s sake! I had a grilled cheese this week for the first time in months. The moment of truth comes and I look down.... 266. Since 9/24, I have lost 35 pounds. I wake up and go to the gym every morning around 5. I eat 3 meals a day and snacks. My goal is 200. I can’t tell you when I was last 200 pounds. Probably early teens.
For those of you who browse reddit for inspiration, you can lose weight too. I did not give a FUCK about my life. I was depressed, eating Taco Bell MULTIPLE times a day alone in my car in the Taco Bell parking lot. Multiple tacos, nachos, burritos, the chocolate cake thing they have... I ate like I didn’t care that I could’ve died. I had some scary experiences that led me to the urgent care with symptoms of a stroke in my early 20s and STILL DIDN’T CARE. I still kept eating like shit and laying around all day.
I didn’t have a reason to care about the future, but “he who has a why can bear almost any how.” I found my why. I found a reason why I’d like to be around in 10 years. (To see someone I love graduate.) What’s your why? Do you have kids? Do you have pets? Do you have a family member to be there for? You have to want it for yourself, but if there’s someone or something you love and want to be ALIVE for, take accountability and start today. Have a fruit and vegetable with every single meal. Eat less during meals and eat more, small healthy snacks throughout the day. Cut out the soda, for God’s sake!!! Drink W A T E R. If you don’t like it, infuse it with fruit. Care about yourself enough to not drink something that removes corrosion from batteries.
You deserve a good life. You deserve to feel good in clothes. You deserve to live long. You deserve quality, nutritious and delicious meals. You deserve to be able to walk up stairs without getting winded. You deserve health and happiness.
