Another Door Closes

Everyone has been patiently waiting to hear what the big news was that I announced a few weeks ago. Just be patient and and humor me for the moment. My life has always revolved around food especially as a kid. I was over 213 lbs by the time I was 13 and never knew what it was like to be under 200 lbs. Or if I did, it was only for a brief moment and what kid takes the time to look at the scale in awe and say "I am in Onederland!" I do not even think we owned a scale when I was younger. You just go about life enjoying what ever food was provided and there was no filter.

Fast forward to last year, with my weight on the rise back up to almost 260 lbs, something had to be done for sure. I took the necessary steps to try and improve my own health. My friend died of diabetes complications and I did not want her death to be in vane and without any good coming to it. I have worked my butt off since then, almost 11 months later and I have finally closed one door for good on my weight loss journey.

I am in Onederland!!

I am beyond thrilled to get to a point in my life and on the scale that I never thought I would reach. It shows to me that hard work and dedication can pay off if you believe in yourself, have motivation and self control to make good choices and be conscious of the food that enters your body.

You all have the same opportunity that I do to be better even healthier tomorrow than you are today. You too can see this number on the scale one day, you have to believe in yourself and push yourself to be uncomfortable some times and make that your norm. Go out there and tell yourself how worth it you are and how fabulous you are and believe!
