Dramatic weight loss
Submitted by: Louise-Anne
GibraltarA little crazy ;) but always happy and singing away!!
I had always been big and always felt terrible about it. The more time went by the bigger I got!! Last July I took a good look at myself and realised that I was killing myself at the rate I was going; something had to be done.
On the 27th July 2010 I got on the scale and was scared – 94.6kg [5ft 4in tall]. I was morbidly obese!! The Secret helped me set a different mindset before starting this journey. I would tell myself that I looked great everyday and felt great too!! I told myself that people no longer looked at me in disgust and only spoke well of myself [instead of making jokes about my weight as I had previously done].
For me keeping the negative thoughts out has slowed my process but my faith in my mission never waivered. I ate healthier, excercised when I felt like it and it changed my life. I would also hang onto every compliment that was given to me and recant them in my mind every chance I could get. This kept me positive.
I am now at a healthy weight of 64kg and no longer overweight. A total loss of 30kg!!!! The greatest gift to me has been the love I have given to myself; to feel it in every core of my being and knowing that I helped myself live a greater life – one that I deserved in the first place.
Thank you for reading my story.
