Even though I still have a ways to go in my weight loss journey I have never felt more sexy and confident before. I am realizing that I need to savor every pound lost because I will never have them again... putting myself out there for you all to see is making me realize that I even on my own journey have the chance to inspire others to do the same and challenge themselves! Without this fat on my body how would I have ever had the chance to experience that kind of opportunity. Each time I go out and run into some one I love knowing my body is better than it was yesterday; that the next time they see me I will be different!!
More over I have realized, after grocery shopping a few days ago, and walking through a fast-food cafeteria I realized just how much money and time has been wasted. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars, I am sure, buying myself new outfits, changing my hair color, buying new make-up, or new wardrobe accessories only to go eat a HUGE meal in that very fast-food cafeteria. For what.. what was I changing by buying myself all those materialistic things... nothing... because there is NO amount of satisfaction that a pair of jeans can give you if you don't feel good in them to begin with. Instead I bought new clothes only to put them on and loathe myself... pick at every part of my body because I was not doing anything to actively change it.
I can say that weightloss journeys are FAR more than just psychical.. they are so much more emotional and spiritual then I thought it would be. I have changed more in the last three months than I have EVER in my life... can't wait for people to say you are not the same person you used to be (in a good way).. because honestly I never want to be remembered for what I used to look like and how I used to feel inside; that I am sure sometimes showed on the outside. I love that Athena and Thomas V now have a mother that shares healthy snacks instead of chips and dip. Athena will never think twice about if she loves herself or her body because she will have NEVER learned body shaming from her mother. She will be strong enough to dismiss the pressures and self doubt at school because she values herself and has confidence.
All I can say is LOVE yourselves and if you don't, dig deep and make a change because I love my thick body more than ever because of all these wonderful lessons I have began to grasp. I know I will love my health, having enough endurance and energy to chase and play with my kids, my happiness, and let's face it a SMOKIN' hot bod even more so!
