abemins100 // down 31 pounds!!

>> my health journey <<

I started really considering what it'd be like to not be obese anymore in February. I had gone to the hospital the month prior for chest pains. I ended up doing some extensive tests and found out that my heart was in good shape. Though relieving, I was over it. I kept thinking about how I've been overweight + obese for majority of my life, and I was fed up. So, I reached out to a friend who is a Dieitican at a local hospital and asked for her help. Fast forward 7 months, and I am down 31 pounds! 

I have recently gotten over the shame and fear surrounding my obesity struggle. I think the more honest we are with ourselves, we allow ourselves to grow and to sharpen. I'm going to continue writing about my journey and points in my life that have gotten me here - in hopes to be vulnerable and open so we can have more conversations surrounding obesity, without shame, rather, hope for a better future.
