This week I lost 2.8lbs. I have about 7lbs to lose to reach my end of year goal. I have 12 more days to lose it and I am determined!! It seems it is getting a little harder to lose weight. when I first started I was losing anywhere from 4 to 6lbs a week.
I am happy for what I have lost. It has not been easy, but now this is part of my lifestyle. I don't look at going to the gym as exercise, I look at it as part of my daily routine. My trainer, Jason, has helped me so much. If he would have told me when I first started that By the end of the year I would be in a size 16 pants and under 200 lbs I would have never believed him. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am now. I know I would have called it quits along time ago, just like every other time.
I have tried every kind of diet possible. Including phen phen, which did work but I gained it back plus a whole lot more. I had a gym membership for 5 years and used it maybe used it 20 times. When I got a trainer I wasn't for sure it was for me. I had a hard time at first, mainly because how over weight I was. I have always been the type of person that worries what everyone else is thinking. When I was at the gym I was always worried what everyone was thinking of me and what I looked like. I believe the gym has helped me with this in and outside of the gym. I don't care what people think of me, I am who I am! I am there to lose weight and I am proud of myself.
About 3 years ago my mom and I went and sat through a class regarding gastric bypass surgery, I was really thinking about having the surgery. I'll I have to say is that I am so happy that I didn't. It would have been just another quick fix. I'm not just losing weight I'm learning how to better my health for the rest of my life!
