On October 14th, 2006, I set out on a journey to claim my life and health back once and for all. It is a journey that I have attempted dozens of times before and failed, but this time would prove to be different. This time, I have put my whole heart and soul into the process and made a promise that I would never let myself down again.
The decision to get healthy has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has not been easy by any means, but in the process, I have not only lost a substantial amount of weight, but I have learned what it means to respect myself and be proud of myself. I have discovered that it is possible to be truly happy on the inside. I am finding out things about myself that I never knew. I have found out that I actually love being active. I love eating healthy. I feel more alive than I ever have and I love waking up each day. I love trying new things that I never would have attempted before. I have climbed a rock wall, I have started taking spin classes, I am running for the first time in over 10 years, I did my first official 5k in November and now I am training for the Danskin Triathlon in August 08! This is all coming from a girl who used to be 320 pounds and could not even walk a block or two without stopping.
To anyone who is struggling with a food addiction and weight problem, I want you to know that it is possible to overcome it. It will not be easy, but I promise you it will be so worth it in the end. It does take a lot of work and dedication, but aren't you important enough to finally make the decision to take care of yourself? I know you don't want to sit on the sidelines and watch life pass you by anymore. I've been there and regret everyday I wasted. Don't let another day pass you by. Start taking control of your life right now so that you can be happy and enjoy what life has to offer you. I have done this without pills or surgery and I know you can do this too! I am here to help in anyway that I can. I want to support people through this process. Just know that the first step is always the hardest, but once you take that first step and get a taste of what losing weight and living your life really feels like, I promise, you won't want to look back.
