Last week I decided to put my game face on. It was time for me to take my weight loss seriously! If I keep going down the bad road, of becoming fatter, then I will sooner than later develop serious health issues. As I watch the TV show My 600 Pound Life, I remind myself how I do NOT want to end up like that person. Bed ridden, addicted to food, not able to bath, just NO! Two weeks ago, I had a wake up call. I wasn't losing any weight. Instead remaining at the same number for too long.
The time I was sixteen, I started gaining weight and eating non stop. At the time I figured it was normal for a teenager to be that way. I also drank lots of soda till I went to bed. But as I got older, I devoloped painful thigh pain. Everytime I'd walk, my thighs would rub together and create a painful rash. It was unbearable for me. It wasn't until I turned twenty-six that my thigh pain stopped.
At the age of twenty-six, only two weeks ago, I decided to go for long walks. Don't care where I'd walk to just as long as I walked. Two to three miles a day is what my goal remains. I REFUSE to gain more weight! I REFUSE to sit on the couch or in the kitchen all day eating like I did ten years ago! Most importantly I REFUSE to quit!
Last week I walked ten miles. Not in one day, but in one week. This week I plan to walk about the same weather permitting of course.
Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to battle my weight.
Thanks
