Finally

Several days ago, I noticed that my wrists were skinnier than a month ago! First, I thought it was my imagination or something, but I took a good look and felt both my wrists, and I realized that I was actually losing the fat that used to be there around my wrists!!! Finally! Then, today, I realized that my ankles are also skinnier!

I used to have regular size wrists and ankles when I was younger. However, 8 years ago, I started gaining weight as I graduated from my graduate school and started working and started driving to places every day. All the stress and terrible work schedule and life change contributed to my gaining weight. I would eat when I was happy,and I would eat when I was unhappy. I mean, I still have this food addiction I must admit. But I finally took the first step to change this situation. For the last 8 years, I kept gaining weight every year. This is the first time that I see any sign of losing weight or getting back to shape! I am proud of myself! I know this sounds like nothing to many people, but to me, this is a great achievement!

I'm in my last(4th)week of the boot camp. I was thinking about joining the new camp after this one, but I decided not to. Instead, I think I will start going back to the gym and work out on my own. Now, it's going to be up to me. Since I am on the right track, I will stay on it and lose weight and gain my self confidence back! :)
