Well, this week I've lost a whopping 28.8lbs. I biked 16 miles and went roller skating with friends. Another successful week.
Here's this weeks review....
I have never seen myself as fat. O, I saw the numbers on the scale and in my mind i KNEW I was obese, but I never saw it in the mirror or photos (like everyone says you're supposed to). I tried and tried and tried, but couldn't see myself for what I was....unhealthy. It wasn't until about 25 minutes ago when I was looking through old photos of me over the last year and a half that I finally saw it. HOLY COW! I mean wow, why didn't anyone tell me! I look at those photos and think "how in the sweet world did I get like this?!?!?!?" I mean, my face! my legs!, my ARMS! o wow....I had no idea. I guess, my life has finally had a reality check. Here I have had a crazy year full of out of control circumstances...yet thanks to that ride, I have finally seen out out of control my life has always been. Emotionally, mentally, physically. I can't believe I am going to admit this-but thank God I was hit by a car. I SAID IT! I would not be here where I am (on the path to health and balance) if it had not been for that. What a long journey back from chaos, but the promise land is worth it.
Congrats! I kind of had the same problem. I never saw how big I was when I looked in the mirror. I still don't. But I've always seen it in pictures. Before I gained my 60+ pounds I loved to have my picture taken, and now I avoid it, unless it's of my face. My husband and I went on vacation last September to Jamaica, and I think there are only 6 or 7 pictures, out of over 600 that have me in it, and I look horrible! That made me really sad and that was my trigger to get back to Weight Watchers. Keep up the good work!
