Oh, I feel SO mad at myself! But I refuse to beat myself up! This is it! I've reached the point of change! It's amazing what a photo can do to inspire one to CHANGE! Of course, none of my clothes are fitting good! All my 4's are super tight! These capris are my 'skinny' ones and I DEFINITELY shouldn't have worn them! If I had realized how tight they looked, I would never have been seen in public! UGH!!! My small tops are bursting at the seams! It's TIME for change!!!!! I refuse to buy new clothes!
Sammy couldn't figure out WHAT HAPPENED to Mrs. Colgrove's hair! She came as Marilyn Monroe not having a CLUE that we were having a huge surprise party!!!!
I HATE this picture of my bottom!!!! UGH!
And get a look at that double chin! I was so happy when that little guy disappeared!
It's a LONG story of why my girlfriend is dressed like this! It's a TOTAL crack up and I will share the story soon.
Just to motivate myself, I'm posting some of my skinniest pictures.
So here I go--I step at a time! 1 mile at a time! 1 good choice at a time! I WILL NOT gain all my weight back! By GOD'S RICH GRACE, I will lose these 15#'s that I've gained!
So proud of you! I am right there with you. It is time to take on the summer with determination and healthy choices. Afterall, is there a better season for a fresh juice cleanse or a protein shake lunch? This is the perfect time of the year to buckle down and step it up a notch. Here we go! Are you signed up for the summer 5% challenge?
Yes, pictures can tell the story that we don't want to see. I can live in denial until I see a picture of myself. Even the mirror doesn't show it all like pictures do.
You will, by God's grace, be diligent in making healthy choices for yourself so that you will be fit and strong to enjoy that lovely family of yours.
I feel your pain! Only I didn't gain 15 lbs. back, I gained 30! A year and a half ago I lost 40 and was in a size 4/6. Now I had to go to the store and get 10/12 again. I am so mad at myself. I hit that "I need to change" earlier this week and am already down 2 lbs. Small steps. You can do it!
I did what you have done...only I did NOT hit goal weight. I saw it coming...within 5#'s and chose to self-sabbotage and go the other way, adding on 13#'s. And then I hit my "enough is enough". Time to wrap my head around the need for nutrition to help me turn the corner. (I had been chasing good exercise with poor food choices.)
All I can say is that it IS working. But I have also chosen to add in I.F. into the mix, and the confusion to my system is really working. It isn't for everybody, and some people are adamantly against it. But it is actually something that has worked in the past, and for me, it puts food into the correct perspective: FUEL.
You CAN do it, Susan. God is big enough to walk you through the changes you want to see happen. In fact you matter so much to Him, that He is just waiting for you to offer up your hand and walk the journey back with Him! Hugs!
You can and you will! I share your pain...only I gained back more than 15...I have a handle on it now and am on my way!! Today my lower back is hurting...I am praying and taking it easy! I steamed cleaned my carpets and OUCH!!!
Hey, there, Susan, don't be hard on yourself.. many ladies would love to have that bottom! seriously! I am the same way with pictures, though, so I understand...at times all it takes is a photo to get us back on track again and it sounds like you have a great plan.... one step at a time.. you go, girl! You look awesome... keep at it... you will reach your goal!
