Weight loss, I weighed 226lbs. I was in constant pain carrying around so much weight

Today I found this picture from a year ago and thinking back I loved how happy and cute my kids were but I was so disgusted with myself I never posted this picture. This picture was a reality check for me! In my eyes everything about this picture was perfect except for me. I weighed 226lbs. I was in constant pain carrying around so much weight. Its was 2 months later I decided to change my lifestyle. I started eating on a caloric deficit and and going to the gym and one year later I weigh 153lbs.

It wasn't easy by any means but it feels so good to be comfortable in my skin even taking the second picture I remember still being mildly self conscious that I would look fat like the year before. It's an amazing feeling over coming my biggest insecurity. I hope this motivates someone that is battling obesity and let's you know you can do it and that you are not alone! Feel free to share your own transformations or encouraging word for others. Much love!♥️
