One day I woke up only to realize I was middle aged and fat. I felt horrible about myself, and the old saying goes you have to like yourself before you can expect people to like you/. I thought to myself well I am not going to sit here and just mope, I am going to do something about this.
Being overweight was an issue since I was a child. My parents were heavy set since I can remember. So I never did learn to eat healthy.
It was on a Monday that I committed to myself that I was going to lose weight. I started out with a small bowl of corn flakes and a glass of orange juice. For lunch I had a salad, and for dinner a baked piece of chicken a small portion of mashed potatoes and a veg.
I then decided to join a gym. It cost me 30 dollars a month but figured it would be worth it if I could lose weight. Every morning I went to the gym and exercised an hour each day.
Then one day I was getting dressed and realized my pants were getting a little bit big on me. I thought to myself well maybe they just stretched. I decided to weight myself. Thats when i found out I had lost 10 pounds. I was so happy. That gave me the encouragement to keep on going.
At night after dinner my husband and I would take a walk. I noticed my legs were getting firmer and my belly was disappearing.
To make a long story short in the last 6 months I have lost 75 pounds. I have another 25 to lose but I know I will accomplish that. I now feel young again. I feel alive and I have more energy than I have had in a long time
