I have been doing quite a bit of reflecting these past few days. I have been reflecting quite a bit on this long and arduous weight loss journey. It has been a ride of a lifetime for sure. From 330 pounds 180 pounds and then back to 250 pounds, what a journey! And my journey is far from over.
Helping the mood of reflection was a simple task that I completed one morning. I noticed that Jason had pulled a picture of me off of this website and had it on the background of his phone. As you may suspect, this resulted in a lesser quality picture. Now come on now, if he is going to look at my face every time he picks up his phone the least I can do is make sure it is a good quality shot, right? So I went on a hunt to find that picture in my files. And that caused so much reflection. I spent quite a bit of time looking at pictures of me when I was down near 180 pounds.
Holy Cow...was that really me?
And a picture from the night I made lifetime at weight watchers.
I haven’t seen some of these pictures in years! And I will admit, sometimes when I have seen them, I sit back and stare with sadness because of how I have let myself go again.
But this week I was filled with hope!
I was filled with excitement for the future.
You see, I am going to get back to that weight! This change in plans, by switching back to weight watchers (which I talked about in my most recent post…..here) has given me the motivation and renewed excitement about this journey. This weight loss journey is far from over. I, for one am super excited to see where this road takes me. And the beauty of the journey this time? I have a good idea where I’m going, all I have to do is look at these pictures!
