A January Weight Loss Update

I'm down to 224 lbs which doesn't seem too far in numbers; however, I can feel it in my body.  Last January I weighed 260 lbs.  I started my renewed commitment at 230 lbs.  So, do 6 little pounds make a difference?  Unbelievably, yes!  I don't breathe as heavy, having a positive impact on my asthma.  I have more energy and my confidence is returning.  It's not just the weight, but my outlook that has changed.  I am indeed getting back to the old new me and I am starting to see that gal in the mirror again.

I updated my weight loss photo album with January's picture today.  I chose an up-close shot of my midsection. While it may not be the most flattering, I felt it showed my progress.  I want others to be comfortable in their skin, I can't do that with out being comfortable in my own.  Beauty can be found in every inch of us, thus I decided on the midsection pic. Sometimes we have to embrace a little uneasiness in order to grow into that comfort.

Each of you have inspired me so much in this journey.  On those days I feel down, I log on and think, "I can't let my team down" and I suck it up and find something encouraging to post.  Coach Nina has kept me on track, Terra has been an endless well of encouragement for me, and Chastity and the Made to Crave Bible study are having a definite impact on my thought process and path to success.  I can't think you each enough for taking the time to like my page and read my post.  You drive me to keep going, keep encouraging, and just be me!
