Quitting is not an Option – A Healthy Lifestyle
Quitting Is Not an Option: My Journey to Sustainable Weight Loss
Well… I was really close to 200 lbs about a few pounds lighter (2 to be exact) . I feel that health is more than weight loss, but we have to remind ourselves that being overweight or obese is a symptom of bad health issues. So never let anyone discourage you that weight loss seeking is bad when in truth it’s a health concern. It is just educating ourselves about what’s the healthiest option.
The more fat we carry the more our organs are suffering. Our joints are not strong enough to handle the weight. The higher our blood sugar levels get. The higher the dosage of the meds. The higher the percentage of diseases. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to share that I am now 149 pounds. I have not seen that number in a very long time. I thought it was all about jumping around and pumping iron but it’s not.
If I give myself a good cleanse to restructure the way God intended my bodily systems to function, it will metabolize foods properly. I don’t care how hard this journey is and I am not here to convince anyone. I am here to share my story. I am thankful for another chance. ❤ I give thanks to God for blessing me with tools to fix what I messed up over the years. God created this temple and now I know better so I can do better.
It’s easy to start with enthusiasm—the new diet plan, the fresh workout routine, the first few pounds lost. But then life happens. Stress creeps in, old habits resurface, and before you know it, you’re back where you started, or worse, even further behind. In those moments, the thought of giving up is tempting. “Maybe this is just who I am,” I tell myself. But deep down, I know that’s not true. This journey isn’t just about losing weight; it’s about reclaiming my health, confidence, and well-being.
What keeps me going? It’s not just the desire to see a smaller number on the scale. It’s the promise I’ve made to myself to be healthier and happier. I want to be strong, to feel good in my own skin, to have the energy to live life to the fullest. And that’s something worth fighting for, no matter how tough it gets.
So, when the going gets tough, and it often does, I remind myself why I started. I remember the vision I have for my future self, and I push forward. Because quitting? Quitting is not an option. Not now, not ever. This journey may be long, but I know it’s worth every effort.
