It may not seem like a lot to many people, being down to 117.5 lbs., but it's a huge deal for me. WHY? Because feeling great, having tons of energy and no longer suffering from headaches is FANTASTIC, BUT I truly needed a boost in my body image.
I've always had healthy self esteem, but my body has been a source of issue for quite some time. I always hit these plateaus and could never get past the 130 lbs. mark, or really, the 125 lbs. mark. I'd always hit it, then start gaining the weight back and go back to 140 lbs. Then worked to get back to 130 lbs. It was a cycle that I hated and getting clothes on in the morning....it was no longer fun to get dressed up to go anywhere. I'd hide under huge clothing, or sweatpants, or stretchy pants.
I wasn't as big as I had been at 175 lbs. and at one point, 180 lbs. But I still felt uncomfortable most of the time. Plus my hip was always in pain, my knees and my back. It was a problem, even when I was 130 lbs.
Seeing the change my body has been going through is amazing. Feeling it has been inspiring, but now, having both happening - it's just THE BEST feeling in the world. I no longer take clothing out of my closet and cringe when I look at myself wearing them. The fat roll here, the fat rolls there.....I don't even look anymore, because I know everything looks good on me now. And just looks better and better.
Then add to that feeling like a teenager again, actually, what I would imagine a teenager would feel like, because when I was a teenager I was heavy and felt tired all the time. I wish I could turn the clock back and have Isagenix all those years ago. It wasn't around that long ago, but MAN, it would be nice if I could take it from this time period, bring it back to myself at the age of 15 and never have to go through all those years of my life heavy, unhealthy, tired and BLAH.
It's such an amazing life I have now. I'm so looking forward to the next few weeks of getting to my goal weight of 110 lbs. - because when I hit that, it's time for BATHING SUIT shopping. I haven't had a real bathing suit since I was 11. That was the last time I felt comfortable in a bathing suit.
It'll have to fit the DOUBLE D's I'm still sporting, so two piece will have happen, but at least it'll be PRETTY and perhaps, I'll have a couple for myself for the first time in MANY, MANY years.
It ain't no diet, it's a lifestyle. It's ISAGENIX.
