My 1 Year Weight lost Progress!!! Before and After

TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 16, 2012!! I cannot believe it! On September 16, 2011, my entire mindset changed with respect to health and my body. I was desperate to take back the control of my body and something just clicked in my head that day that I cannot explain. I was at my friend's birthday dinner and though I was very happy, I felt miserable in my own skin. I spent the whole day thinking about the times I was a dancer, a gymnast, a volleyball player, All Round Woman Athlete of the Year, and simply just how active I used to be. But that night, all of that had long changed. I had allow college to over-stress me and instead of gaining control in a positive way, I resorted to unconsciously eating and sleeping during the times I was not studying or in lab. Slowly the weight added on, and while I was in denial at first, I slowly began to realize it. The day of my friend's birthday dinner, I remember going shopping to buy shorts to wear, and nothing fitted until I tried on 1X khaki. I couldn't believe it. I ended up buying the 1X but that night, while at the dinner, I knew that day was going to be the end of this unhealthy lifestyle I've adopted over 2.5 years. Immediately I got home, I went to work cleaning out my fridge and the next day I woke up bright and early and spent 2 hours at the gym( morning and evening). I have spent everyday since then  eating well, and working out and now IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR and I've reached my goal!

My former size 15 jeans......BYE BYE! hello size 4 and 6 jeans!!

I give ALL glory to God who gave me the courage to make the  lifestyle change, the wisdom to learn how to go about it in a 100% healthy way, no short-cuts, and the grace to stick to it for this long! Thank You Jesus for the strength! I hope that I can stand here as a source of inspiration to whoever might read this that you really can do it! Take it one day at a time, one pound at a time, and everything will eventually add up! I'm living proof of this! Get healthy and fit....FOR YOU! I am a full time senior in college taking up to 17 hours a semester and living primarily in chemistry labs, but found one hour a day to squeeze in a workout! If you want it, there's no excuse that is valid enough! Just like that a year has gone, and I could've found myself September 16, 2012 either still at 191.4 pounds or heavier, but that ONE decision has completely changed my life. If you find yourself in the same position I was, make your decision for a healthier you....NOW! There's no need to wait for New Year 2013 to start! Start now and God will help you through if you ask Him!
