The past created a better me…

This was me and my boyfriend Michael at my friends wedding in August 2016.

This picture below was Michael and I at my friend’s wedding in December 2017. This is when I started to notice how much weight I had gained. I already did not feel very confident in myself but seeing this picture made me feel even worse.

January 2018 is when I decided something needed to change and I needed to loose the weight I had gained. So Michael and I went on a low-calorie count diet. I also started to exercise everyday. I started to feel better and felt better but I will say it took a while before the pounds started to come off and I started to notice a difference in the mirror.

What a difference my weight loss journey has made. I feel better and my clothes seem to be very baggy. I am still working on my confidence but I believe that will always take time and may be something that I always need to work on.

Just seeing the differences in the pictures motivates me to keep moving because it will make a difference even if I don’t always see it. Sometimes that hardest part of the weight-loss journey is that first part when the scale does not move but you feel as if you are starving because you cut back, started to eat healthy and added exercise to your daily routine. DON’T GIVE UP….you will see the difference it will just take time.
