With this blog I have been very honest with my quest. I have talked about challenges I have faced. Talked about my struggles with the scale (love/hate relationship for sure). Talked about my routine and the importance of support. I have also shared before and current photos and shared my weekly weight loss progress. But I still have some secrets.
One of the biggest secrets I still have is my starting weight. I have chosen not to share this number. There only a very few, my husband and my doctor, that know my starting weight. There are many reasons why I have chosen not to share this number. The biggest reason is because I am embarrassed by this number. I still can't believe how far off track I had gotten. How complacent I had gotten with my lazy lifestyle. I was fine to spend most of my time sitting on the couch eating very unhealthy things. I know I did it to myself. There is no one to blame but myself but I still have issues with how bad it got.
I have taken control of my life again. I have changed my thought processes. I have armed myself to deal with temptations better. I have come out on the other side much better and much healthier.
I choose to focus on the positives that have come from my 14 month commitment. I am in the home stretch now. I have done so much that in the past I would have never thought I would have been able to do. I started slowly and continue to push myself daily to be the best me I can be.
I think my next big step will be accepting where I started and sharing this with others. I know it will be helpful for others to see where I started. Trust me, if I can do this, anyone can. It's about making small manageable changes and continuing to make those changes as you go on your quest. Learn from past experiences. Move forward to a healthier you.
One day I will share that starting number but I'm not ready to reveal all my secrets yet!
