My journey progress mentally & physically~banded 3 months

Ok. I feel good. I have lost 46lbs which hasn't happened for around 13 yrs. I was only going up prior to this, I lost faith in the "butterfly transformation" idea. I figured I was destined to be a fat catepillar. Another words, I lost all hope that I would ever be able to be fit. Figured it just wasn't in my genes. My whole family is fat, just fighting a losing battle...just look at my pics. Those feelings are gone...

I am sooo impressed with the band and ME. The band keeps my food intake under control! I keep WHAT goes into my mouth under control. I have committed myself to going to the gym 3-4x/week and stick to it.

The best part is that I do not feel like I am dieting at all. I made a personal choice to live the rest of my life more healthy. I feel empowered. I NOW know I WILL get fit. I also know, it isnt going to happen overnight. I just am enjoying the trip.

I still drink about once every 2 weeks just because I enjoy it and I know there will be people who think I should banish that altogether. It is my one habit I am not willing to give up, at least for now. It is a social thing for me. I loove to go out and let loose. I have a tight group of friends that go with us to clubs and we dance the night away(after a couple drinks). It's fun, and when it isnt, I will give it up.

February 25 will be 1 year that I haven't smoked. So very proud of that:tongue:

I like who I am and look forward to who I am becoming. I was a size 5x/32T pants. I am size 30/32 / 28T pants. Many folks talk about the wii fit. I bought it. I can't USE it because I am too fat. I was upset at first but now it has become yet another goal for me to meet. The weight limit is 330lbs. Hoping to get there in 5 months or by July 4th. I am on track, now just gotta get my finances on track. Life is good:drum:

congrats!! best of luck to u!!
