Feeling like such a slow loser

Been two years of work and it seems like I should have been able to do more when I compare to others progress, but seeing this side by side kinda helps. But I do still really feel like such a slow loser, like I’m not doing enough or trying hard enough. This is all me, no surgery or shots or anything like that. Just CICO.

Today, I finally made it into the gym and I’m really hoping I can make and stick to a routine this time. As much as I need to see 215 lbs (because I really wanna say “I lost two hundred pounds!”), I really need to start building up muscle and overall strength. Also hoping to get back into running a 5k by the end of the year (something I did very briefly in 2013 before having kids).

It’s been hard working on myself over these two years, but I’m starting to feel really proud of what I’ve done so far. Can’t wait to see how much further I can go 🫶🏻
