Dagher113's Journal, 15 May 21

First, it is me. I love feeling fit and strong and looking athletic. Second, it is my clothes. I enjoy being able to wear anything I want to out of my (vast!) collection. 

Yes yes yes, I love feel my body, and summer time is important for me to look fit 👍🏻 

Hey, don't forget winter........my winter boots only look good if my legs are strong and lean! Lol. 

Yes, I forgot my leather jacket 😂👍🏻 

The Scales.  

The most difficult thing 👍🏻 

mine is me because I wanted to change for me and my best friend who is also loosing weight, we both have got each others back. my family who have supported me in my journey since 2nd January 21, Rick Bhulla on YouTube and of course you lovely lot on fs that follows and supports me.xx 

The end goal is what motivates me... mind you I was in plateau for 2 months and didn't throw the towel, I'm halfway gone and wouldn't want to throw all my progress away after facing an obstacle.  

Rachel, your words inspire me at all times 

Yes Tan, I totally agree with you  

Aww thankyou Dagher.xx 

The fact that my father was at the hospital because of his obesity which led him to dangerously high diabetes and irreversible consequences, on top of that...me , myself and I . 

Also, as Anne says, clothes. But also self esteem which is extremely important 

My dad also had diabetes and I was borderline.. in my teens I mean.. had change or I'd be taking medication all my life.  

The support of the FS family and that you have do it forself  

Pcrav, tan My mother has diabetes as well, and she won’t listen to any of my advice. Shea eat healthy food but with big amount. I don’t know how can I convince her 🤷‍♂️ 

Yes, chestnut. The support of fs doing great 👍🏻  

Dagher how old is your mother? 

My motivation is knowing that God has given me a second chance at living my life well, and wanting to use this opportunity preciously. I know I would have surely died and left my daughter motherless in the state my life was in. It was hard to breathe and even do the normal activities of life, I was depressed, felt hopeless and did not want to spend time with family and others outside of home due to the shame of gaining so much weight (coming from 135lbs in my 20s and becoming 305lbs in my late 30s)...BUT GOD delivered me! I'm enjoying the journey of getting to a healthy weight and living a health lifestyle and praising God each day for the work He is doing in my life. I was blessed to find FS, because this community is supportive, knowledgeable and fun🤗. Bless you on your journey.🙏🏽💕 

As many said firstly it's me. Secondly I had covid and was quite unwell with it. I'm very short, so even a few pounds show. There is a weight range where I feel my best. And in my target range I feel at my most confident...and life's too short to feel anything but your best.
