Changing my mindset saved my life. How I lost 150 pounds!
BEFORE WEIGHT : 317
AFTER WEIGHT : 165
POUNDS LOST : 150
WHEN DID YOU START DEVELOPING A WEIGHT PROBLEM?
Side note-it won’t let me put in my Instagram it’s @lucyscraazyhealthylife -I was always a very large kid. 5’8 by sixth grade. When my parents got divorced I ate because I didn’t know how to handle all those big emotions. By my sophomore year of high school I weighed 317 pounds.
HOW DID YOUR WEIGHT AFFECT ANY ASPECT(S) OF YOUR LIFE?
Being morbidly obese was the center of my world. It’s all my parents talked about. It’s all anyone noticed in school. I didn’t want to go out. I couldn’t fit in desk. I was so embarrassed. I spent 15 years hiding.
WHAT WAS THE “TURNING POINT” THAT GOT YOU STARTED ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY?
When I stepped on the scale in February of my sophomore year of highchool and saw that I weighed 317 pounds I was devasted. I couldn’t believe I gotten that far. I promised myself right then and there that is have a real story. I’d be a women who lived her life. That I wouldn’t settled for anything less then loving myself.
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
The first things I started doing was writing a plan. And breaking up with food. I decided that I can not be in a toxic relationship with food. I can not call on it and go to it when I was sad or angry or upset. And I started going to the gym everyday. Even if it was only for 20 minutes. I went and I showed up.
HOW LONG AFTER YOU STARTED DID YOU BEGIN TO SEE RESULTS OF YOUR WEIGHT LOSS EFFORTS?
Immediately. Once you decide to save your life. Everything in universe conspires to help you.
WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART?
For me the biggest obstacles were the skin after. After 150 pounds lost you have a lot of skin. I had six pounds of skin removed off my stomach recently. And that has been the biggest step. Finally I feel free.
DID YOU EVER WANT TO GIVE UP? WHAT KEPT YOU GOING?
Never. I knew how depressed I was when I was big. It scares me more to be sad and depressed then to go workout. Even on the hardest days working out and eating healthy is 100x easier then be morbidly obese.
