This is sort of a follow up message to my scale post from earlier this morning:
I just had a truly emotionally moving moment and it made me think that maybe I should share it. I know I send out a lot of quotes and motivating pictures but this felt more real.
I just tried on a pair of Levi's in a size that I had written off long ago as something that just the skinny popular girls wore... and they fit! I bought them obviously! I was so floored by the experience that I literally cried a little. That fat 11 year old who would fake sick just so she didn't have to face the kids at school... the blushing bride trying to squeeze herself, disappointingly, into the dresses at the wedding shop... that girl in me teared up a bit with joy. I'm proud to say that since my heaviest in 2009 I have lost about 50 lbs! So my motivational speech right now is this--- it's worth it.Every calorie I cut, every time I chose the salad over the fries, every mile I walked and squat I did... it's worth it. For my mental and physical health it was all worth it!
So keep going... because it's worth it!
