My weight loss journey, 50 lbs. down and 30 more to go :

My weight loss journey, 50 lbs. down and 30 more to go
50 lbs. down and 30 more to go.
What I’ve learned from my weight loss journey so far is losing weight does not equal happiness.

I was so focused on my outward appearance and how I would look that I ignored how much healthier my eating habits are, my increased activity level, my significantly improved blood work and no longer pre-diabetic. That’s what should have mattered to me and they do now.



I still have my moments of extreme, distorted beliefs about myself and base my self-worth off of the scale but I’m working on it and it’s getting better.

As I enter my second phase of weight loss and  lose these last 30 lbs. I now know what I need to focus on and that is my mental health, losing these horrible, long held ideologies about myself, gaining muscle, eating enough protein / veggies / fruit and drinking more water!
