Loving the new me

I was going through some of my pictures from last year, and I just couldn't believe the difference. I had to give myself a pat on the back. Sometimes, I look at myself and I think in my head that I am still the same size that I used to be. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would ever wear or fit into a size 12. The reality is that I am a size 12/14 now. I used to be a size 22/24. I have lost 40 kgs so far and I hope to lose 20 more and be in the healthy zone.
I am not where I want to be yet, but I am no longer where I used to be. I am in my happy place and I am getting fitter by the day. It isn't an easy journey, but it is worth it at the end of the day. Some days, I feel like giving up and just eating everything I can lay my hands on, some days, I just wish to be skinny and be able to eat everything I can eat without worrying about putting the weight on. Some days, I just lack motivation and strength, but then the fighter in me just carries on and continues because, I am worth it at the end of the day.
The difference to me now is very clear. Like I have always said, if I can do it, so can anyone. All it takes is that first step and determination. Summer is almost upon us, I can't wait. I have attached some pictures to encourage and motivate someone struggling with their weight.
