Must I say that losing weight is the hardest thing ever. From working out 6 days a week to learning how to eat healthy is alot tougher than most people think.
I started gaining weight when I moved to the U.S. The price of fast food was just so cheap. When you come from a place where you can barely make ends meet, let alone purchase fast food and then you come to the U.S and get a burger for like a buck that is just amazing. I just started eating and eating and eating until I could not anymore. Looking in the mirror was the worst. I hated how big I had gotten. I know lots of people tried to make me feel better by telling me how good I looked but deep down i knew that this was not me. how do you go from 125 to 180 or more so quick so soon. Then I got pregnant and after I gave birth I gained even more weight. I was just huge.
But I decided to do something about it. After so much weight gain and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin I decided that I could not, I did not want to be this big no more. So I started my weight loss journey using insanity. I started insanity On April 23rd 2012 and in the first month of doing insanity and eating healthy I lost a total of 300 pounds. I worked my butt off twice a day, six days a week and tried to eat as clean and as healthy as I can to lose weight. And let me just say that trying to lose weight, even with exercising, if you don't eat healthy it is like a waste of time. I did not eat healthy all the time but I tried my best and I guess it worked because i did lose weight.
I am now on my 2nd month of insanity and I have not weighed or measured myself so I don't know how much i way or anything like that. But what I love is when I put on something that I had not worn for a long time, or wore when I was skinny definitely fits me. In fact I had a pair of skinny jeans I wore when I was small that I kept and now it is loose on me. That makes me smile. I don't eat healthy all the time but even when I do not eat healthy I do not stuff my face with unhealthy greasy food. I like ribs and barbecue sauce. That's my weak eating mostly if I go out to dinner with my little family.
There were days I wanted to quit and say I'm done. Days where I wanted to work out but because of how intense I knew I would be working out just that thought made me not want to work out. Days where my body said no. But for once I wanted to start something and finish it. Just that feeling that you get that hey I did not quit makes me feel good. Now I am so addicted to working out. It is like junk food to me I have to have it. I have to work out. I honestly love working out. Not a day goes by where I don't want to work out. It is my stress reliever and my drug. It helps me clear my head and let frustration out. There are days it is hard to work out with serena but I still push through and dig deep.
Ever since I stated doing insanity it has been hard. It is still hard today but I am alot better at it. I am sore everyday but I also see the pounds shredding off and that makes me happy. Wanting to achieve a goal starts by going out there and just doing it. Sitting around or thinking about it will not help you accomplish a goal. You have to go out there and do something. Don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself but instead go out there and do something. Don't be a couch potato be a busy bee. Take full advantage of all life has to offer. Get in shape and be healthy. I love my new body. And next year if God spare I hope to have that beach body. Want to be able to go to the pool and feel comfortable.
Losing weight is a difficult journey but with perseverance, strength, a good attitude and will power you will most likely lose weight.
Yep so that's my journey.
The day I started insanity. My before picture of how big I was.
Can't get any recent pics of my size now but this is like 2 months ago. 
This is me after my insanity workout. I was drained in sweat. Gross but felt good because thats fat crying.
This is another pic of me after working out. This one is like a month and a half ago.
This is how small I was and wanting to be again.
Let's just say I feel good about myself now and still working hard.
