Great Job GT! 6 pounds is a great loss and start!
Matthew ~ Happy to see you checking in. I hear ya when you say it seems tough. There are 2 things I want to tell u. The first being that any journey begins with a single step. Thats all it takes to get you going in the right direction. Second is that I would like to share a small bit of my journey. After being in an abusive 5 year relationship turned marriage, I found myself stepping on a scale and weighing 300 pounds. That was my heaviest ever! My immediate reaction was to eat. When I say eat, I mean I indulged in everything I wanted. My thought process was "fuck it" I had already gone that far and too hard to lose. One night, I was having trouble breathing, my feet were so swollen I couldnt walk, I could barely breathe....I stepped on that scale again. 305...I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself something that changed my life. I said "Today will be the last day of your life that you will weigh 305lbs" Over a year later, I kept my promise. I have lost 50 pounds. Yes I have had moments of weakness, but I maintain. Today, I am still striving to get myself healthy. I am more determined and seeing more results. All it took was a promise to myself and 1 Single Step in the right direction. Lets do this Matthew! We can do it together.
