My Weight loss journey




I was going through all my old pictures today and I realize I haven't shared my story in a long time but I want to keep it real tonight.
 
Sometimes I know you most feel like Dam coach doesn't understand what I'm going through right now. His to hard on me with this stupid meal plan but let me tell you something. Before I started this program I was at a very dark place in my life. I suffered from a severe depression and I honestly did now want to live. I was eating my emotions way. I will by an Ice cream almost every night, I will order pizza every other day, and chinese food the days I didn't buy pizza. I was drinking alcohol daily, Some times a Box of corona a day, Wine, Tequila you name it. I was at a very dark point in my life. I hated both of my Jobs, the stress and negativity were driving me insane! I hated the gossip, and the competition and By the way I used to work for FEDex or how we call it FEDup lol.
My problem was that I was looking for every shortcut on the Planet! I tried Diet pills for months. I tried Teas, Grandma Weight loss recipe and my Favorite one STARVATION. I will only eat 2 times per week and the rest of the week I will drink water and eat one slice of bread. I was doing my 200 calorie diet. I refuse to workout because my insecurities will not allow me to go the gym. I was terrified to let others see me struggling. I continue on this cycle for many years. I will lose 10 pounds and gain 20. I lost all hope, I was depressed, sad, broken.
A friend of mine kept telling me about this workout he was doing at home. For months I ignore him. I didn't want to be part of this stupid program that was the lie I was telling my self. One day my friend sent me the transformation picture and I was Shocked, I could not believe how much weight this person had lost in 2 months. At this point I had made the decision I was ready for change. All the excuses I told my self I put them to the side Money, Time, and all the negativity was not going to STOP me. I was determined to change. If my friend can do it there is no way I won't! That was my driving force.
The First week it was difficult but I kept pushing. I will get home at 11pm and I will do my workout at 12-1am at night to wake up the next day at 5. I remained focused and determined. I will take things one day at a time. the first week I lost almost 10 pounds and I was happy. Second week 14 pounds, t
hird week I had lost like 18 pounds and in the fourth week I had lost almost 25 pounds. I was happy from a size almost 40 I was down to a 34. After my second month I had lost a total of over 40 pounds and from a size 38 and a half to a size 30 in pants.
Was this process easy NO it was not but it was worth it. It gave me back my confidence, my health but most importantly My Life! There were days My body was in total pain. There were days I was sick, there were days I had no sleep, there were days family members past away, there were days Life Got to me But I never let anything get on the way of my journey. My story is not yet finished I’M still a work in progress… I will continue to make bad choices, gain, lose weight because that’s life but now I have the tools and the support to always get back on track.
