She is right, even back then I really didn't like those pictures and I would untag myself often in pictures, but now there is a sense of accomplishment that comes over me when I look at those old pics, I see how far I have come. But even looking at the new pics I see how far I need to go.
You might say T-Rock you look just fine, or aren't you happy yet? Well I do look and feel good, but just the other day I shoveled in 2 pieces of cheesecake into my month not really even tasting them and why did I do it? The answer is I still emotionally eat, instead of seeking the big G God in my moment of sadness I sought the little g god food. I still have times that I put food before things in my life and yes it is ok to have cheesecake, but it is so much better to have it and taste it!
There is still work to be done in my life it took me 31 years to get to 251lbs. and just 1 1/2 years to lose 60lbs. so far. I'm still working hard and moving down on the scale although my victories aren't always on the scale, sometimes it is the race I ran, getting out of bed at 4:45am to cycle, or stopping before I eat emotionally. Those are all still victories.
One of the greatest things that has brought me victory is setting goals and then meeting them. Last year it was to run one 5k race, and run the whole thing. And instead I ran a 4.5 mile race and ran the whole thing.
This year it is to run a 5k every month, and tomorrow is my Feb. race. Along with the races I want to improve my times and distance throughout the year.
Find your goal and don't make it unachievable, instead make it something you can reach. But make it something that will take some effort, don't make it easy, push yourself.
You will be amazed what your body can do, and your mind if you put yourself to it!
Here is an old and recent profile pic.
