Down 52 lbs. in 11 months. Slowly but surely. 50 more to go. Humiliated at Disney. Progress pic

Slowly but surely. 52 lbs down, 50-ish more to go. Proud of myself for the first time.

I never post because I just have never been comfortable talking about my weight however I finally decided I need to celebrate how far I’ve come. I went into my dr’s office last year on March 28th in tears for my annual physical. I was in such a bad place physically and mentally. I had tried so many things to try to lose weight but could never keep it up and gained it all back.

I learned my A-1C was borderline diabetic and I was at my all time highest weight of 287. I felt like I was a failure and would never be truly happy with myself. The final straw was when I took my son to Disney World for the first time because he’s a huge Avatar fan and wanted so bad to go on the ride. Sadly I got on the ride with him and my legs wouldn’t strap safely into the ride bc they were too big. I was devastated and had to leave my son on the ride alone (age 11). The look on his face will haunt me forever. He was so sad and heartbroken for me. I felt like the worst mom.

It was then I decided enough is enough. That’s when I booked my dr appointment.

I am now down 52 lbs and am at 2.4 mg. It feels slower than others, however I’m starting to be proud of myself for the first time. I had a plateau for almost 3 months then increased my water and protein and kickstarted my weight loss again.

I don’t know what my goal is bc I’ve never been there since high school but for now I’m hoping for another 50. Then I’ll decide.

I wish I could redo my Disney trip with my son and hope to one day.

Here is a fairly recent pic of me with my 18 yr old daughter and my before pic.

Grateful for this amazing community where I mostly lurke but really appreciate you all.
