Michelle J's Story
My journey along the way -
It was more of a emotional problem that I had as far as how I felt about myself. I had trouble bending down. I had trouble walking short distances. I had trouble, just doing everyday household chores it was very hard. But the weight didn't come on overnight, so I adjusted.
I remember first time going to MRC and walking in, I was very self-conscious about it and talking about it. I didn't talk about my weight. I didn't, you know, it was not something. I just tried to cover it up as much as I could, but, I met with Stephanie, and she is really been great this entire time.
I got down to the 240's. My next goal is for 213. I think I broke it down into milestones, the ten milestones. And they celebrate you here. You get the wonderful rock I have. Hopefully I get the final one, you know. And then I'm going to put them in a shadowbox. I have my ribbons that they cut for all of the inches that you lose and you celebrate that. Yes. 10 pounds when you're comparing it to 100 doesn't seem like a lot, but it's the start that you need because you're not going to get to the hundred unless you get to the ten.
What I did, I had I had 100 pounds that I was, you know, and I couldn't look at it that way. I broke it down into milestones. And that's what Stephanie and the ladies here really helped me realize, is that this is one step at a time. You did not put this weight on in a week or a month. It's it's going to take longer to take it off.
There were things that meant so much more to me than the weight on the scale. The fact that I could squat down and stand up without falling over. I mean, because I was at the point I couldn't even pick up my own weight. Like I couldn't squat down and stand up. But and it happened by accident. I dropped something. Instead of bending over at the waist, I squatted down and stood up and I realized it and I was like, let me do that again. I haven't done that in, you know, 30 years.
I want to thank everybody here who has helped me because I am the same person. But I've changed in so many ways that were positive. They gave me support. They didn't change. There was never anything. I never left with anything negative from from coming in. It was because of the ladies here and what they have, done to support me.
