Week 8 on the THM diet

On September 7th, 2015, I started the Trim Healthy Mama diet. And today when I took update photos I was amazed at the progress! The THM diet is so easy, for any age, and has such amazing results! It is by far my favorite diet!!!!!!!!

  

I started this diet at 172.9lbs and I am now 159.2! Seeing the before pictures make me sick. How could I have let myself get to that point?! I still have a ways to go, but I am on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend ;)

Day one THM:

Weight loss update

In June, I opened my eyes and realized that I needed to turn my life around. I was looking to food for happiness, and in exchange my health was fading. 

I was 185 when I first started my weight loss journey, and today when I stepped on the scale I was 159.6 

I am now considered a normal weight for my age, something I never thought would happen.

I am so thankful that God has given me the strength to fight this battle. Without him I would still be in a tangled mess of depression, eating emotionally to try to find happiness. 

I am so thankful for the support and love you guys have been giving to me, and I hope that as I continue in my new healthy lifestyle that my story will inspire others.

The Start of a New Me

I was never a "Skinny" kid growing up, but I was healthy for my age. Of course, I thought I was fat. But in reality I really wasn't.

When I was in 8th Grade I started volleyball, and I got the healthiest I have ever been. I was finally starting to be happy with my image. 

Then we moved.

Our family was put into a bad work situation, and it took a toll on all of us mentally, and physically. I had no friends, I was depressed. Which led me to become a couch potato, and emotionally eat. 

I went from a happy healthy teen, to a depressed and overweight teen. 

I continued to become depressed and over eat even after moving from PA, and I just didn't care anymore. 

I gained over 50 pounds in less than 6 months.

One day I looked at myself in the mirror, and my eyes were open. I was going down a dangerous path and I needed to change! So what if I don't have any friends where I live, I can still care about myself. My body is a temple that I need to keep healthy!

I have started  watching what I eat, I'm trying to be more active, and I have even made a weight loss account on IG to share my weight loss journey.

Since June 15 of 2015 I have gone from almost 190 Ibs to almost 169 Ibs! 

I feel like a new person, and although my weight loss journey is far from over, I can already tell the difference. 

I'm going to start volleyball again in the Fall, and I'm so excited to be able to have this opportunity to make myself healthy.

My goal is 140 Ibs by next summer (or less) and I'm excited to share my journey with you guys!

Lots of  Love,

Myra
