I'm 28 and overweight. I made the decision about a month ago to make this lifestyle change. I have never been by any means skinny nor do I think I want to be but healthy and thinner are where my goals are.
My background is a first responder/Firefighter/medic which kept me in decent shape/active, however in 2010 I made the decision to get into the construction industry to help pay my way through college.. Well I continued to excel and move up in the industry and dropped college to pull 60 hour work weeks. (Because everyone loves money more than school lol) And with the promotions came a more sedimentary lifestyle as well as horrible eating habits due to the hours I put in. EXCUSES EXCUSES right?
In 2014 I hit my highest weight at 202lbs. My relationship was strained as well as my mental status. Advocare and Adipex (and walking 30min a day) was introduced to me and within months I was 178 BAM! I was Happy and looking good getting compliments and started eating again. One bad meal after another 2 years later here I am writing a blog to hold myself accountable for my actions. I'm now at another "highest weight" weighing in around 230 lbs at 5'4''. I feel it in everything I do. And I'M DONE!
Its time to start a new journey, with new friends and support and I cannot wait!
