Today marks the day 12 months ago when I decided that I would start walking daily. I had already been losing some weight and I started at 365lbs and a year ago I was weighing 289lbs.
Today I now weigh 166 lbs/ 75kg. I’m 123 lbs/ 56kg down from where I was 12 months ago.
It only took me a month or walking daily to see the benefits. I was walking 5k every night from 11pm to just past midnight. I went through a packet of tissues mopping my forehead to using only two by the end of the month.
That improvement put me towards joining a gym and I’ve been going 5 days a week for almost a year.
I can tell you right now the last 18 months have been tired, exhausting and challenging. However with the goal posts for me now so close I can tell you this journey has been well worth it. The difference in just how I live my life is enormous. Walking with no effort, navigating cities and public transport in comfort, flying with no fear of fitting into the seat, being able to walk into a shop and buy clothes from the rack.
To all those who are starting or thinking of starting, you are embarking on the best journey of your life. Your future self will look back and thank you so much for sticking with it. It’s hard, so hard when you start, but the end is beautiful.
