I took a new picture because I was specifically asked if I could post an updated back progress photo… the bottom shot was taken this morning, I look a bit shiny because I was getting ready to go out for my run and I was covered in sun cream.
I post progress photos to help inspire others, because all I can show you is what’s on the outside, but the real progress is on the inside. I no longer have migraines. I no longer have heart palpitations or tingling arms. My allergies are gone. My bursitis and other joint problems are gone. I no longer have to take two naps just to have enough energy to get through the day. Best of all, I no longer have to struggle with food and exercise, because I did and continue to do the necessary psychological work that is at the heart of all this.
If you’re confused about what I mean by “psychological work,” and/or you’ve struggled up and down with obesity and you’re tired of fighting yourself and you want to be done with it for good this time, I’ve written about how I did it here, here, and here, and there’s additional information in my sidebar.
FITBLRS! You know I love you. Without this community…. gah, I don’t even want to think about it. You guys are the best. Much love.
