Drumroll Please.
I am back at my August 2012 weight. Yayyyy!!!! No more seatbelt extension for airplane travel. I was about one inch away from buckling the regular seatbelt back in January 2015 for my California trip. It was the first time that I ever had to ask for a seatbelt extension on a plane. What a rude awakening to the fact that I had gained weight!
So I joined an HerbaLife two week weight loss challenge. What a rough two weeks! After HerbaLife shots, shakes, teas, over 10 hours of walking, lots of water, diet restrictions of pork and beef, and consuming a lot of Green Giant Steamers, I WON the challenge!!!!
Five pounds lost. Second place was 4.8 pounds lost. Soooo Close!!!
Thank you Green Giant! Many of their "Steamers" are Weight Watchers endorsed. They taste great, and they curve my hunger.
So HerbaLife and Green Giant Steamers are helping me to win at weight loss!!!!!
On a separate note, I have worked with personal trainers over a 20 year period. I have participated in LA Weight Loss and Weight Watchers programs over a 20 year period. I have experienced 10 pounds a month weight loss before. So I am not new to weight loss nor weight gain, but because I am barely 5'3" with a short torso, people are going to see my body change with every pound up or down. I am especially proud that People magazine put a size 22 plus size model on their June 1, 2015 edition. Tess Holliday is 5'5" and 280 pounds according to the article. She is also age 29 with gorgeous hair and shape.
Plus size is finally getting some respect that is long overdue. I am happy to have experience being plus size because I got to see how invisible one can be in the real world. I got to see the rudeness. I got to see the disrespect. It has been eye-opening, but in a world with so much unrest, fast mobility is going to be important as the world continues to be at war. I want to be ready to survive, and less weight will be faster speed. Thanks for checking out my journey.
