Happy birthday to me 🥳. It was important to me to get back to being me. I set a goal to be back at a certain weight by my birthday and I’m so proud of myself that I did it! Yay me!
After my dad passed away, I began to comfort eat and gained about 20 pounds. Many people said the extra weight looked good on me, but I personally did not feel comfortable. When I got engaged, I lost 15 pounds by the time I got married. I actually felt comfortable even with the still extra 5 pounds. Then our fur baby passed away over a year ago and I became sad again, amongst other things. I gained back the 10 pounds. I really became unhappy with my body. This was the heaviest I ever been in my life. I was lonely in the house, as there was no more Wally. My husband was working those long shifts as a nurse. So all I did was work. And my commute to work was long and stressful. By the time I arrived home, the first thing I would do is get a snack because I was starving. I would eat late because I wanted to eat dinner with my husband.
So my husband hearing me complain about my weight suggested I rejoin the gym mainly to get out of the house. I did and that started my journey back to becoming me again…
Btw, this is definitely a new me. I would have never posted a picture of myself in a bikini. Another… Yay Me!
