15 pounds is a milestone for me
in around october or november, i saw 214 pounds on the scale. the heaviest my weight had ever been. whoa. i'm barely 5 feet tall. i'm 26 years old. i'm not sure how much i weighed before the pandemic because i never liked stepping on the scale. but i worked out at orangetheory 5 days a week and was starting to feel really good about myself. and then the pandemic hit.
i started to weigh myself last summer and it just kept rising. i knew my diet was trash even though i worked out at home 3-5 days a week. i was also pretty depressed because i was social distancing and hardly left my house so of course this combo was no bueno.
the discipline started in january. i developed a better relationship with food. i continued to work out at home and i started walking.. i think that was a game changer for me. i'm learning how to listen to my body. i'm taking care of myself and i'm understanding what it means to feel healthy. instead of ordering out multiple times a week, i'm eating out maybe a few times a month. and i don't feel guilty when i do. i'm in this for the long haul—a sustainable lifestyle that makes me feel happy and fulfilled and hopefully adds years to my life. my dad and my mom both died before they were 60, due to different reasons, but they were both health-related.
well today i made it to 199.6 pounds! 15 pounds since the fall! i'm vaccinated, i started back at orangetheory a week and a half ago, and i'm feeling amazing! i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now...
it's as much of a mental shift as it is physical. i can't morph into a different body, so i had to accept the one i have and figure it out. i can't spend more time hating myself and missing out on a beautiful life. it starts from within and the rest gets easier. i'm so excited to be on this journey! thank you for reading if you made it this far :)
