Happy Thursday!
I feel quite depressed today. Don't know what to do about job searching and have some family issues still to solve.
I could not fall asleep yesterday night: I have been reading stuff till 5 this morning since my head was too full of stressful thoughts. I should find the energy to go swimming or to gym later, so it will be easier to sleep tonight.
Yesterday morning I took a pic of me at 59kg, about 130lbs. Last year between May and June I was about 68kg (150lbs). Here is my before-after pic.
I still remember the weekend before the second pic from the left. I gained 25 pounds in few months and that weekend I realized I did not have anything to wear anymore. All my trousers were small. And all my summer clothes were so small that seemed to belong to somebody else, since I purchased them when I was 110lbs.
So, that weekend I run into a shop and bought emergency clothes in a size I never had to buy before.
That night I was at a food event with my ex hubby. Many pics were taken other than the one shown here. I focused on one of them, taken while eating and realized how much beyond my "old" weight I have become (and what a huge portion of food I was eating!!).
That moment made me realize I had to change something, since gaining 5 to 10 pounds a month was not that healthy. It took me still some months till I really changed my lifestyle into a more healthy one.
...
Things in my life are slowly improving. Even if in the past 18 months I have lost my mom, divorced and lost my job, I feel I can make it to "stand up" and go on.
As Kingkeld says "Life is good".
