I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on because I was 60 pounds over-weight. I didn’t let on it bothered me but I wouldn’t take my shirt off or go swimming with my friends and what is a trip to Florida if you aren’t going to get in the water, whether it’s the ocean or a swimming pool.
I never really got a suntan as I wouldn’t show much of my body while I was over-weight.
Traveling with family is fun most of the time but traveling with kids can be a bit embarrassing as well.
For me the final straw was when we stayed at a motel on the way to Florida from New Brunswick Canada and my son snapped a picture of me in my underwear and then I snapped.
I didn’t realize until that exact moment just how much being over-weight was affecting me mentally.
I was going to post the picture that my son took but I sort of busted up the camera and pulled all the film out, in a fit of embarrassment and rage. He had never seen me go off the deep end like that and it scared him to tears.
That’s no way to go through life, so for me it was time to drop some weight and get back into the swing of things.
