Today makes exactly one year since I looked at myself in the mirror and decided it was time for a change. One year ago today I got my gym membership and I haven’t stopped since. I started at 230lbs and now sit comfortably at 148. I went from a size 18 to a size 5/7. I learned being healthy doesn’t mean starving yourself or spending your entire life on a treadmill. It’s all about balance. Besides the fun changes like getting to shop at Victoria’s Secret and feeling comfortable on the beach in a bikini – I can breathe when I sleep at night without having to wake up and use my inhaler, I no longer have pain in my knees and feet when I get up in the morning, and I’m able to enjoy doing physical activities that I couldn’t do before. I’ve learned to love my body despite the harsh words of others around me. I still have so much more I want to achieve so the progress doesn’t stop here. Thank you to my family and my friends for always being supportive and keeping me motivated. I couldn’t have done it alone. #progressnotperfection #weightloss #fitness
