So Far

Woke up this morning, went to the bathroom, and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Whoa. I’m still fat! I’ve worked SO hard, shed over 130 lbs., and according to the BMI chart I’m still considered obese. SMH.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m proud of myself for coming so far, but I still have so far to go! Discouraging? Sure. Enough to make me give up? Never. Why? That’s a loaded question but suffice it to say… I love myself and I owe it to myself to live a healthy lifestyle. A lifestyle free from being trapped inside of a body that is dead. So yes, I’m still fat, but not for much longer. Thank you God for giving me the strength, courage, and love for myself to fight this battle. For once and for all, Farewell Fatso!

  2. J-

    I think you're taking it wrong. I'm TOTALLY proud of myself, but if you seen these naked thighs - oh wee.;) You would be feeling a little overwhelmed still too. I mean, I've lost your total body weight plus a few lbs more and I still need to loose at least another 100 lbs. So sure, I'm proud but I still have so far to go. I'm only keeping it real! I got this though!
