Week 16 still writing this new chapter in my life
Aug 11, 2010
Week 16, another page in the new chapter of my new life.
Its been a while now and I finally hit another note in my life. Today on my 16th week since my surgery and new chapter of my life I have done what up until recently I never dreamed of.... I hit under 300 lbs, in fact I weighed in at 295.4, 8.1 lbs lost in the past 2 weeks. The past few weeks have been rough, but overall reassured me I am on the right path. Its funny that when I started at 375.5 I was at a BMI of 47.... Right now I am at a BMI of 36.9. I still have a hell of a long journey to go but when I start comparing these numbers it becomes almost scarey how far I have come.
A month ago I defined my first 2 major goals, defeat the demon diabetes that has haunted me for so long and so many years and to break the 300 pound mark. Today I can proudly say I have done both. I am so proud and happy atm that words can not properly describe what I am feeling!!!! It is crazy to think that just about 2 years ago I tipped the scales at over 400 lbs, and right now I am around 110 lbs lighter from that point. So 80 Lbs and diabetes gone I am looking forward with more life in my eyes and faith that I will become what I have dreamed of.
Its still so hard to comprehend how far I have come but slowly I am starting to see the changes in me! Everyday my cardio gets better little by little and I know one day soon I will be able to handle the challenges ahead of me and then some. I know my path is long. I know my path is hard. But I also know that I will make it. I have three things that will guide me until the very end: I have a few close friends that give me strength, courage, and motivation when needed most, a strong Faith and determination that I will make my dream a reality, and I have a few guardians watching over me in heaven right now cheering me on and helping to give me the strength to drive forward.
I will succeed and I will achieve my goals.
I will NEVER stop. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, NO REMORSE
AND Not ONE Step Back!!!!!!
Eye of the Tiger.
