As of this morning, I’ve lost 30 lbs since recommitting myself to losing weight on February 18th. That’s 30 lbs in less than 3 months. It’s crazy, really. Especially when it feels like I’m hardly trying.
It’s that commitment that’s done it. I’ve talked about it a couple of times. Interest vs. commitment. When I was only interested in losing weight, I felt like I was constantly up against a wall. Now that I am commited, I still struggle, but nothing like before. Now it’s so much easier to remind myself of what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.
Check out these pictures. On the left, that’s me in December of 2008. On the right, that’s me this morning. (Sorry, I’m not really a smiler.) I posted this on Facebook earlier, joking about whether they are the same person.
Immediately after posting that, I realized that no, that is not the same person at all. The woman on the left was eating herself to death. The woman on the right has decided that she wants to live.
It makes me tear up to even type that. It’s a very emotional revelation. I have decided to live.
Whoooo ………………………. I don’t think i’ll be able to recognize you if i see you. You are motivating me now.
