Updates - Yes I am still here & still going strong!

I am still here, still around.
Life has just been busy busy!
Hubby & I are getting ready to celebrate 15 years next month of being married
Time has just gotten away that's for sure!
It's now been 4 years & 8 months... since I got on track with being healthy and losing weight.
I used to be that girl that was afraid to get back on track because of how I was made fun of in high school for being that girl that was in shape, doing track, sports, and weightlifting... called a tomboy and told I looked and acted like a boy because I enjoyed doing all the things boys did because I was never a girly girl
That damage that was done to my esteem and confidence carried over to life after graduation (graduation year: 2000) and I ate myself into a hole and an abusive relationship, thankfully after 5 years, I got outta there!
I tried to lose weight 2 times before after my husband and i got married but failed, I realized it was because my esteem and confidence needed work...
So here I am today... my esteem and confidence have grown big time, thanks to my husband & his family, my wrestling family & friends... I wouldn't be where I am now without everyone's support, so thank you!!!
This last week since I got my Fitbit I managed to lose almost 10lbs and some more inches, I feel like now that I can track things a lot better and not have the stress of other things, the weight is coming off easier and the inches are flying away, it's been stressful this last bit but what a difference can make when stress/worry are no longer there to deal with!
I feel this is the year that is finally the year that I can finally finish losing the weight! It will be nice to CTRL/ALT/Delete everything that has been holding me back all these years!! I have been waiting for this for so long, I FINALLY see some kinda light at the end & moving into maintaining everything, I am excited!
Gaining weight and stressing and everything between and setbacks were awful all these years, but now that 100+lbs has been lifted off my shoulders I feel empowered to continue, I been sleeping better and feeling so much better these last couple of weeks! Not sure why I just do, but either way I been feeling awesome!
Thanks again everyone for the support, here is my recent side by side, let's do this!
Just know it can make a huge difference when getting on track to be healthy!
Don't ever say, "I can't, it's too hard, I am too lazy, I am not worth it... "
The excuses are endless, stop making excuses!
I used to make them too now I am glad I stopped making them and being that scared little girl, but all the stress and BS made me the women I am today along with all the supportive people in my life, again thank you!
