How did you do it?
I hear this all the time. At my wedding in April 2005, I was just over 193 pounds. I felt oversized and uncomfortable in my own skin, but too lazy to do anything about it. In August 2005, my husband and I were looking at pictures from the wedding. Pictures lie, but not much. I wasn't happy with what I saw and neither was my husband. Together we decided to lose our extra weight in a slow and safe method.
In the past year (and a bit), I have lost a little over 50 pounds and dropped 8 clothing sizes (women's). I went from using walking as my primary exercise (a great choice!) to training for a half marathon later this spring. When people ask me what I've done, I always start off with saying, "I eat chocolate every day." And it's true. A healthy weight can be accessible for anyone without certain medical conditions (talk to your doctor if you think you might have a condition that would prevent you from losing a bit of weight).
Now I have people who know me from before commenting, "You're skinny," or "How did you do it?" It seems like such a big thing, but everyone can make the small changes to becoming healthier and losing weight.
