Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror one day and thought to yourself how horrible you looked?
Have you ever felt like your running out of breath after a couple of steps?
Have you ever felt like your losing your confidence when you are around people?
Do you ever feel like you are too tired to even do anything?
Well, i have been there. i have been feeling like im so tired, so sick that all i do is to lay on the bed and be lazy. I am asthmatic since childhood ( i have outgrown asthma when i was 12yrs old) so it was even worst for me. I use to be really skinny when i was young since i was so sickly and i was in and out of the hospital, but things have changed for me after i gave birth to my son, i started putting on weight til i weighed 190+lbs. I felt horrible, im always sick, my asthma started attacking me again and i cant even go up the stairs without running out of breath.
My family and relatives call me names like piggy, elephant, and fatty. IT HURTS! but they were right. i know some of you might think that 190+lbs is not that big but i was only 157.48cm. not only that i look horrible but i feel horrible too.
One day, i looked at myself in the mirror and told myself that i need to lose weight. i need to do it to be fit and to be with my son longer ( being fat makes you more prone to diseases). I started to motivate myself, i didn't do things in a rush. i started to take a walk for 30 mins a day, cut off some of my food and soda intakes. til my body adopts to the change, then i added more cardio. i jog and do zumba, and cut off more of my food intake gradually but surely. I have found myself loving what im doing, not only did i lose weight but i have also learned how being disciplined and dedication is very important in reaching your goals.
Here are some pics of how i look now, i may not be there yet but i am one step closer to my goal :)
im the one wearin pink with long hair :*
It was never easy, it took me almost a year but it was worth it. And if i can do it i know you can too. You just need to be motivated and start it right away. :)
