Let me just start by saying, I am still really new to this whole 'healthy' lifestlye. I have never, ever been one to exercise and to actually find it fun. I got a D in P. E. and my fastest mile was 18 minutes. I wasn't fat, but I had absolutely no muscle mass. All through high school, I was the 'fatter' friend. Luckily, I was blessed with a high metabolism because I definitely didn't go out of my way to do anything physical.
Through high school, my weight fluctuated between 150 and 160, 165 being my heaviest. I was never happy with my appearance, having a muffin top and all, and I never really thought I could look like those woman in magazines.
Let's just fast forward a couple of years. I am now 22.
I recently had a hip injury (Jan 2015) and had trouble walking for a couple months. I knew I was gaining weight, simply because I wasn't doing anything. I layed in bed all day, sleeping a lot, and eating a lot. It was extremely painful for me to walk around or bend in any way.
When I first stepped on that scale (sometime around August) I was in complete shock! I weighed 180 lbs! I couldn't believe it at all, I seriously thought that the scale was broken.
Just before my accident, I had managed to get my weight down to 125 lbs, so I ended up gaining 55lbs in less then a year!
Needless to say, a bit of depression set in because of this situation. This was the heaviest I had ever been in my whole life! It took me three years just to go from 140 lbs to 125!
How could I possibly lose all this weight? It was just so overwhelming to think about trying to lose 55 lbs. I gained it easy enough though.
So far, I have lost nearly 20 lbs since I started taking my health and weight loss seriously.
This is going to be a journey of my weight loss.
What has worked for me, what hasn't, all of that good stuff.
I hope you all stick around with me through this!
I'll be posting some of my favorite recipes (from other people), my own recipes, motivation help, and more!
