| Weight Loss | What have you learned from being overweight? The silver lining. | Jun 22 2009 07:16 (UTC) |
17 |
The thing that i now know is that i would have never learned if it were not for gaining about 85 pounds is that gravity is literally now a pain in the neck, back and all other parts, especially my right knee where i have had problems most of my life. I know for sure that i had heard many people say how gaining weight means that you cant sleep as well or you get pains. Now that i gained all that weight i feel it and my body finally got to the point where i knew i had to loose weight to feel better and as luck or fate would have it i ended up getting the chance to move into a new place if i did it right then, so over 3 days time i moved my whole house, just me and my husband from a first floor house into a 2nd story condo...I tell you what that experience forever changed me, not only did i bust butt for a good 18 hours out of every day for 3 days but then again every day for the next week, moving and unpacking, i knew at the end of that it was time to change and time to get on living my life and stop hiding in the fat i had gained. I had somehow woken up from a coma where i was doing everything i could not to be the one who's life i was living, i felt like i was waiting in the back for my name to be called , then and only then would i get to start living... Well that move was my call, it showed me just how out of shape i was and just how in shape i was just 5 short years ago. fFrom running up and down the staird for hours and hours each day i ended up loosing about 25 pounds all in total from the speed move and now i am on a slower paced journey to loose the other 60 pounds. I know I'm going to stumble and struggle but that is life, there are so many things to get in your way each and every day but the trick is learning to glide past them and most of all have fun and remember to smile. I know i have such a long journey ahead of me but all the rewards i will get in return for loosing the weight and becoming a more healthy me will always out weigh the amout of time and effort i need to stay on this track. |

Hey Everyone, I just borrowed the Slim in 6 program from a friend and i plan to start tonight. I made a silly mistake of getting P90x thinking that i was ready for that but it said that i should start with the SI6 so here i am. I hope that everyone is having fun on this program and sticking to it. Sometimes Motivation is hard to find so support on here should do nicely I wish everyone Great Success who is on week 2 now and anyone like me who is just starting! Keep up the good work, and remember to smile...by the end of the 6 weeks a new slimmer and Healthier person will be looking at you in the mirror. |
