The 100-pound Mistake
Posted in My Weight-Loss Journey by RachelOh man. I love Inspire, I really do. A post entitled ‘No More Lies’ prompted me to dig out my license, take a photo of it with my iPhone, and publish it for the world to see. It’s pretty poor quality, but hilarious (embarrassing!) nonetheless:
This photo was taken four or five years ago when I returned to MA from living in WA for a few years. I gained over 60lbs in the first year I lived there (ouch!). I’m happy to say I am just 14lbs shy of my ‘pre-WA’ weight (total of 46lbs gone — 39lbs since this journey started in Dec/Jan).
I often talk about how many calories I have eaten or how many minutes I’ve spent exercising, but I never talk about the ‘inside’ stuff. I never talk about how I felt when I was (literally) enormous or how I <i>feel</i> as I make my way toward a happier, healthier Me. I’d like to think it’s because I refuse to beat myself up over a 100-pound mistake, but it miiight have something to do with my ability to repress anything and everything into oblivion.
One day!

What the…?
This is my journey to lose 121 lbs one calorie, one blog post, one tweet, and one workout at a time! No foods are off limits, moderation is a must, and calorie intake/expenditure is key.
