I wanted to post this for anyone over 300lbs who is coming to this site looking for motivation.
I feel soooooooooo good!
I never thought at 346lbs I could have so much energy. I went to Costco today to do our households’ produce stock-up, and I caught myself walking through the store with a literal bounce in my step and a smile on my face. My feet didn’t hurt. My lower back didn’t hurt. And I didn’t whine when I saw the parking lot was full and I had to park on a distant planet.
Then after hitting a few more stores, I came home and cooked dinner. After dinner I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was still full of energy, so I took the dogs for a 2 mile walk. What?! Who is this person? Normally I would be so tired from shopping I’d want to get take-out.
Thank you exercise for empowering me!
I started exercising religiously in April and now - two short months later – I can’t stop! When I started I had to FORCE myself, and I only did 10-15 minutes at a time. Now I can't get enough. I'm excited everyday when I find my body can do more and more.
It is possible, and if I can start exercising so can you!
