I was so ashamed of what I looked like during my first year of college. You know that's the year a lot of people put on a lot of weight. Being away from my mother, I became a rebel. Ate anything I wanted and however much I wanted, even though I was still living with her at the time. I mainly ate what I wanted while I was either at school or before I went back home. I did not care about my weight or my health honestly. I did not think I would get that big. I was 206 lbs in the picture to the right and I believe around 175 lbs on the photo to the left. I was amazed at the progress I had made all by myself. I did not have the support at home, they ate whatever while I was eating a turkey burger. Honestly, the foods I was making were delicious, so I did not miss the fast or the fried foods. After losing all that weight my second year of college I felt I was reborn (cheesy I know), I was never that weight in high school (which was 189). I was on a roll at that point and didn't want to quit. What made me change was my mother. She did not want me to have a lot of health problems and she kept bringing it to my attention to slow down and I wouldn't listen (after all I was in my prime years), but when I couldn't fit into the clothes I wanted to buy then I knew at that point. I had to find my why. Why was I doing this? Why now? Why not wait? Why, why, why? Ultimately it was because since I am at my prime why not lose the weight now instead of when my metabolism slows down and I wanted to fit in certain clothing. Find your why and seek help if you can not do it alone. You do not have to be alone. I have been doing this for 4 years now and after a while I had to seek motivation and I found it from not only myself, but my coach. I am glad I made that decision.
Until next time,-Crissy XOXO
