32 pounds gone forever...

Saturday, August 16, 2014

Since I've gained all of this weight, I haven't wanted to be in any photos. 
I'm not going to hide myself away any longer. No, I'm not thin, but I am healthier than before. 

This is the body I made for myself with each mouthful of junk. 

 

This is me today -- 259 pounds. 32 pounds gone forever. I'm wearing clothes I couldn't wear 4 months ago. 

 

This is the body I am re-making for myself with healthy, cleaner foods. I am... a life... and body... in progress. 

    

"The scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life."

JUNE 1st... What have I Accomplished?

June 1st... what have I accomplished?

Sunday, June 01, 2014

June 1st -- we're now come to the middle of the year. Spring will give way to Summer, but the days will soon begin to shorten once again. The days of this year are ticking quickly away. 

What have I accomplished in the first five months of 2014? 

I came to the decision that I must lose weight and get healthy. I have lost 19 pounds. I am on my way. 

I have stopped abusing myself with candies, chips, and sodas. I eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and and cool, clear water. 

I have stopped whining about the clothes that are too small. I have lost one pants size. 

I have regained my sense of self-awareness and self-worth. I have regained my strength of will. I am truth empowered. 

What shall I accomplish in the remaining days of this G-d given year? 

Anything I set my mind to accomplish. 

I can do anything I set my mind to do. I will do it well and to G-d's honour and glory. I will do it with prayer, determination, and commitment. 

I can. I will. 

Down to a Size 2X! Go me!

Welcome to Size 2X!

Monday, May 26, 2014

I tried the new pants on this morning... Size 2X and they fit perfectly!!! I am so excited. It's been since probably June of 2010 since I was in a 2X -- that after getting down to a normal-size 16 in 2009. 

I'm on my way and it feels so good! 

Talk about motivation! I am INSPIRED and ready to rock 'n' roll! 

  

This is how much fat I've lost: 16 pounds.
