I passed up a doughnut.

Deanna you are not alone! I practically used to live on grease, carbs, and sugars, which is why I used to look like this..



After a long, and painful, fight with my weight, I decided it was time to lose it and I did. After 11 months, I had gone from 261 pounds and a size 42 waist to a 180ish pound 34/32 waist. I will be honest, I am Cuban and giving up any of the fattening stuff I liked was not easy. Like Deanna said, I would get on the treadmill and just run and run and run sometimes for HOURS. But this also meant I didnt have to give up the doughnuts and what-nots. However, (I will admit this for the first time here because I am very much over it and comfortable enough to share it) this briefly led to an eating disorder, which I was able to get a hand on very quickly.




This is basically how I look today. I am not nearly where I want to be as I am trying to lose/tone down the last 10 pounds. But let me tell you, everyday is a CONSTANT struggle. Plus, it does not help that I am a night owl and up until 3A.M. and it is VERY hard to resist the temptation to eat anything at 1 or 2 in the morning. So, trust me, this is something that never completely goes away, but little battles like the won you just won help towards the bigger picture.
