I Lost Weight

A Lot of Weight...

By: fungirlmmm
Written on July 3rd, 2008

I am a totally different woman than I was 4 and a half years ago.  Back then I weighed in at about 500 pounds. I had to purchase a special scale to be able to weigh myself.  I thought I was hopeless and that my life was pretty much over. I had this awakening at that time and I took charge of my life.  I changed my eating habits and started to work out every day. It is now 4 and a half years later and I have lost over 300 pounds.  I am happier, healthier, and more active than I have ever been before.  Yes I have lost a lot of weight and it feels great.

    If you don't mind me asking.. did you have any trouble dealing with the changes? I'm having a bit of trouble.. I've been over-weight all my life and in the last 2 years now I've lost over 120lbs. I'm finding it hard to recognize myself in the mirrors.. I know I should be happy that I'm losing this weight.. it's all I've ever really wanted...but I don't look like me anymore.. and I was that person, that over-weight person for 20 years.. I don't even know if this is going to make sense... I figured my best bet was to talk to someone who went through the same thing lol

    Have you ever noticed that like when you ride in the beach area that your clothes smell like you just washed them? I used to love that. MMMMM

    I owned a bar and had a hard time keeping sober, that's what happens when you young and dumb. Peer preasure to keep on drinking.
