I Fought My Weight gain I have been fighting obesity for more than 5 years now. Of course now I had got back my body now, but this long fight have never been easy, I had many phases in this whole seven years. Immediately after one year of marriage I conceived, and had a C-section to deliver my baby, soon after my delivery I was suggested bed rest and for the next few months I failed to notice my weight gain because I was so busy with my baby, and ended up becoming fat. We celebrated our son’s first birthday in grand manner, before the event I had a tough time selecting my costume, it was really annoying to eliminate all my favourite dresses became it didn’t fit, but anyways got a new dress and the event went on very well. Even during the party few friends and relatives of mine pointed out that I have become fat, I just shuttered it away, but the real shock was when I received the photo album, I looked like a giant ball; in fact I looked much older than my husband, who was very handsome and smart then. That was the day I decided I wanted to …show more content…
And the day I awaited for sixteen months finally, I decided to throw a party to celebrate my success and invited all my friend and relatives. I decided to wear my reception dress for the occasion. When my husband laid his eyes on me on that day, I could feel the same spark in his eyes which he had on our wedding day. It was our fifth anniversary, but all who said we both looked the same as we had been on our wedding. My joy had no bounds that day. At the end of the day, I thanked God and the author of the book which changed my view on life Mr. Norman Vincent Peale. Since then of course I have had my tough times but my approach to it has totally changed. I have become a complete optimistic person. I finally realised that it is not always dark; every morning Sun would rise to scare away
I was 5'9" and 210 lbs. I was Obese, and I know I needed to change. I tried starving myself, but I relapsed and eventually pigged out on everything in sight. All the diets I tried out never worked, and I was desperate to lose the weight. In the meantime, the girl I was dating told me that she liked the way I looked and that I don't need to lose weight.
I knew my diet was trash but didn’t have the motivation to change it. That changed when I looked in the mirror and realized I’d put on 60lbs since high school. I didn’t look great and I didn’t feel too hot either. I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle.
It was a typical chilly October Friday night on the football field under the lights with fans screaming, the hype of the game in full effect, when my life was altered and I was forced to make a decision. I was running down the field in hopes to catch the football thrown in my direction when I was hit. Everything seemed fine, until I tried to stand up. I felt excruciating pain come from my right leg, I looked down only to see the bone bulging from my right shin. I’ve always been told that no mater what you are dong adversity is going to come but it all breaks down to how you are going to respond.
We should be careful not to always look at the negative side of things, especially when we have so much to be thankful for. We are still here and we are still strong, and that’s all that
Little did I know I would look at life differently out of nowhere. I got home from my last
Everyone cheered and clapped as I blew out the candles. An enormous pile of presents of different sizes were place on a rectangular table. One by one, I open the gifts. Clothes, posters, shoes, etc. I thanked everyone and I thought on my mind, it wasn’t necessary to buy gifts for me.
In my brief life, I have overcome a lot of adversity. My mom fled Mexico with her three young children to escape domestic violence. When we came to this country we had only a few personal belongings and the promise of a better future. We came to this country and lived in a small trailer with no toilet other than a bucket, and no shower except for the one that was lent to us from the kindness of a stranger, our new neighbor. As a single parent, my mother had to work day and night to support us.
but I also kept in mind how thankful I need to be for everything that I was able to
But, I realized the big change in my life. This taught me that sometimes life is hard but everything happens for a
At the same time, I was on the soccer team playing for at least six hours a week. I was determined to look like the girls I saw in the movies. Before I knew it, I had dropped twenty-five pounds. I was officially diagnosed with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS), an eating disorder that lies on the spectrum with Anorexia
after giving birth to my son in 2011 I have been struggling with being overweight and just all around unhealthy. I 've gained in between 65-70 pounds durin my pregnancy of course it was from overindulging and not eating healthy. unfortunately, lack of the right nutrition/exercise it all caught up with me when I had my son. He was diagnosed with a heart defect and numerous of other major/minor things. he had to have opened heart surgery at two days old and another followed shortly after, plus all of the other things that were wrong as well.
Boom, bang, pow! Boxing was all I ever thought about as a child. I would dream, eat, and sleep boxing. Though I was a little shrimp weighing in only 75 pounds, I had a very big heart, which gave me the drive to keep on pushing forward. Everyone around me seemed like giants, but that did not stop me from doing what I love.
This event changed my life for the better and without going through that tough time I would not have been able to see the light of all situations, in reality and when I
Overcoming my Obstacles Obstacle--a word that most people in the world do not want to mention, but all of us have to face them every day in our lives. Some people have to face physical hardships, but others have to face spiritual difficulties. Overcoming these obstacles is very important for people to have a good life. Everyone has a personal way to overcome their obstructions, and each way has a particular lesson to teach us. I also have had to face many difficulties in my life, and my three big obstacles have been homesickness, car sickness, and studying English.
