Im 34 years old and I feel I went full circle back to the same weight I was 10 years ago at 180 lbs, although I always struggled with my weight, being that i have been down to my lowest in a size 1/2...at this point im clearly very unhappy, I started my journey 11/4/10 I have made a lot sacrifices and changed my whole way of thinking this time around and I focused more on my addiction of nicotine, I have smoked for 23 years, I start when I was 11 rebelling against my parents for getting a divorced and wanted to quit for many years with 4 attempts and each time putting on the pounds. Im only 5’2 at 180 lbs I looked like a rollie pollie and just was disgusted every time I looked at myself in the mirror. Taking pictures of myself was definitely a challenge being it could only a face shot with the double chin, I finally mastered the right angle lol I finally realized one day with the help of a friend who said “the time is now, its my time” and that has inspired me to make the changes I needed to make in order to have a happier me, I was gonna wait for new years but no “THE TIME IS NOW” I do deserve it
