*Taps
mic* alright, so I wanted to post a quick update, checking in after a long
break from writing. Today was technically a rest day for me since I went pretty
hard yesterday with my new work out partner J.We did spin in the morning and Zumba in the
afternoon! For me a rest day doesn’t mean just sitting down and doing
absolutely nothing, hahaha! I still feel that energy...and I like this feeling,
it’s damn addictive, better than my favourite red wine J People ask me all the time how I
stay motivated, some think I have a boring life, going to the gym daily!
Hahaha! I want to take a moment to really lay out my story.
So
today I was arranging my dresser drawers and I decided to sort a few which were
oversize *Yeey* and I tried them out as well. I had this particular size 14
pants which a friend of mine got me as a gift early last year. It wasn’t my
right fit then and I decided to try it anyway. It’s not a stretchy material and
voila! It did fit so well! So today, am celebrating my rebirth. Like I can’t
even breathe, am so excited with the new me. Even when having a bad day, I
remember what it was like to be the girl in red T-shirt...mmmh! I don’t even
know who this girl is anymore!
Old
pics truly put me in perspective of what 37kgs lost really looks like. When I
started this journey, I knew it would definitely be something deeper than just
losing weight. The attitude just about everything J life in general, confidence,
relationships etc..
It’s
easy when you express all these in writing, clean diet, working out...but when
it comes to actually doing it, it’s much harder at the beginning. Won’t deny
it, sometimes I felt like giving up especially when the scale numbers never
changed! So when you think your dreams are impossible, keep fighting anyway!
All
my life, I struggled to feel confident and beautiful. I thought I was healthy
obese woman rocking those heels, Sometimes I struggled a little because I felt the
heavy weight I carried which was accompanied by swollen feet, but I was just
fooling myself.
Fast
forward.....
My
medical results were really bad and I needed to do something about my life
style. It was up to me to find my own happiness. Sometimes, you have to pay
what you owe. In my case, I owe my Doctor and the gym instructors. Without their
knowledge, support and positive motivation, my transformation would not have
been possible. If you want something you have never had, you must do something
you have never done. After shedding so much weight, I now see how it hindered
me. This would have eventually killed me if I never did something about it. I
had one simple goal, to make the rest of my life, the best of my life. It’s now
been two years, I have pushed myself to accomplish something I never thought I
would accomplish. I have had the motivation and will power to change it all.
I
am never going back to where I was and always make sure I stay aware and
remember the once upon a time girl that made me who I am today. Though I never
appreciated her then, I am learning day by day that she is the reason I am who
I am today. Her and all of the many things that I’ve been through my life has
given me the strength and determination to be the girl you see today.
Now,
my happiness is hiking and setting goals because I KNOW I CAN. If I can lose
37kgs all natural and overcome the many struggles, I know am strong enough for
almost anything.
What
I have learnt is, you have to be your biggest fan, you have to learn to love
yourself fully, flaws and all, you must always remain thankful, humble and
aware.
Build
a better you. Never going back, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
We
are all winners!
