So, I have been reading a lot of success stories for weight loss today. Everytime I read some I get so pumped and think about how I would right my own story when I succeed.. So I just thought, why wait? So here is the start to my weight loss success story:
It was July of 2008 when I finally realized that my weight problem wasn’t going to fix its self. I had been over weight my entire life, and had very little success getting and keeping the weight off in the past. This fateful month I had bought a new camera, but could not believe the pictures that were showing up. I couldn’t believe that I had let myself get to that point. At 310 I knew I couldn’t allow myself to continue on like this. My first steps were to use that camera after all. I took pictures of myself in a pair of sweats and a sports bra. I let it all hang out and hung it on my wall with my measurements on it. Finally I vowed to myself that in a month, when I took new pictures and measurements, there would be a difference.
The following day I stopped drinking soda, and swore off ice cream. I started doing some kind of activity for 45 minutes every day to get my excersize rolling.
Stay tuned buddies!! Additions to my success story to come in the near future
