As I’ve said before, I’ve been really working out and eating
right since late December of last year. I’ve noticed a lot of changes in body: my
confidence is a smidge better (still not great), my anxiety is better (thanks
to exercise and my meds), I’ve lost 77 pounds, my energy levels are better, my
body is smaller, and I am stronger – mentally and physically.
I don’t always notice the changes in my body in the mirror.
I am more self-conscious with my clothes and showing off parts of my body.
Despite getting more of definition in my waist, and wearing smaller clothes.
When I really notice the changes are when I take photos. I really look at them
now – I’m proud of the hard work I’ve put in. I can see the results of working
out. I really noticed it this weekend after having a photo taken of Monster and
me – for once he is in front of me and mostly
blocks my body. Do you know that has NEVER been the case? So, I went searching
through pictures and I knew we had one of a similar pose earlier this year – it
was Easter of this year. I’m pretty proud of my progress.
These are the things that help me push myself. When I want
to give up and go lie on the couch and eat garbage I know I can’t – I’ve got a
little boy watching my every move. He sees the results of eating well and
exercising. We talk about proper nutrition and how good exercise is for our
bodies. He has noticed the changes in my body as well. It’s still a long road
ahead, but I’m also pretty pleased so far.
What changes have you made in your life?
