I am two weeks into the second chapter of my weigh loss journey, and as of last night my total weight loss was at 49.5! I am one bowel movement away from hitting 50 lbs...how crazy (and disgusting) is that?
This past week has been such a motivating week for me. Many of my co-workers have given me compliments and I actually was able to encourage a woman who came into the weight management bldg to join. She was very hesitant, and had the same look of self-doubt that I once had. When she asked how much I had lost in 14 weeks and I told her 47.7 lbs (this was prior to my weigh-in) her jaw dropped and she told me that she loved me! haha! She immediately changed her attitude and said that she was going to join and she was going to lose the weight too!
So many changes have occurred in the last few months and it is crazy how losing weight can seriously change your entire life. I remember always dreaming of wearing a beautiful wedding dress, but worried about having to find one that would hide all my flaws. I am now looking forward to trying on all the different styles and picking out the perfect dress, and not worrying about my weight. Or at least, not as much! I am pumped to buy a swimming suit for our honeymoon to Jamaica....THAT has NEVER happened! I may even by 2 or 3!
While I don't think my personality has changed one bit, I do think my outlook has. I was never Debbie-Depression, but I did get down on myself from time to time. I have realized that I am in control of my health, if nothing else. I have the power to change the way I look and feel, and I don't have any more excuses. And believe me...I had more excuses than I would like to admit!
Long story short, I am almost 50 lbs down, and I know that I will look back on this post in the next months and be even further along! More to come...
