As much fun as I had tonight, I’m still left feeling…. upset, I guess.
I don’t know what my actual problem is, all I know is that after tonight I want more Zumba, more running, more working out - I want to be healthier and better for me. I don’t know where this random feeling came from, but as of today I got back into the swing of things - played over an hour of nonstop Just Dance. :)
I will be better for me… from here on out!
I wasn’t fat, ugly or disgusting before. I was simply unhealthy…
With the cholesterol levels of an obese person and the body fat percentage of an overweight woman, I had a lot of health problems…
So what I aim for with this progress picture is to tell people that the most important change in my life after my weight loss, is not my appearance or the number I see when I step on a scale.
The changes that really mattered are:
I was able to stop taking antidepressants (which I took for 5 years) and still have fewer episodes of depression, OCD and bipolar disorder (although I’m still chemically depressed);
My gastroesophageal reflux has gotten much better;
I’m cured from my gastritis;
I’m cured from my insane insomnia;
My skin looks better;
I’m nearly free of cellulite, which is not necessarily a bad thing to have, but the amount I used to have (because of my insane body fat percentage) just didn’t match the rest of my body and it was just a real strong sign of how unhealthy I really was. I still have some, and I’m not ashamed of it;
I feel stronger and more capable of doing almost everything;
My heels hurt way less than before;
I no longer have the cholesterol levels nor the fat percentage of an obese adult (even though, when I did, I had a average looking body and nobody noticed just how unhealthy I was. Not even myself)
My life is just better. :)
This is so inspiring. I love what you said about your changes as well… So awesome, congrats!
