Seeing Double

Last week my PT Ray (Personal Trainer) told me that my goal was to lose 2 kilos because that would then bring my total to 10 kilos. all week I worked as hard as I possibly could. Before weigh in I went for a drive to pray. I told Jesus that I didn't want His help in changing the scales. I didn't want any miracles, I just wanted my sore and tired body to have lost the weight. I honestly felt like I deserved it. But while praying I said something that made me realize that I wouldn't lose the weight, 'If I don't lose it this week, I will lose it next week.' Instantly I felt God tell that I was going to be correct. Minutes later, I stepped upon the scales to see that I hadn't lost any weight at all. Nothing. Not even 100gms. My heart broke a little.
Ray knew I was absolutely guttered. I worked so hard, I even went for a session on Sunday! He was positive about it and led me in another painful session. It's one of the biggest challenges one will ever face when losing weight. Working so hard and getting the results that you don't want, let alone deserve. The body is weird like that. That night I got a message from a friend encouraging me to keep up the hard work. She explained that I would have put on muscle which is heavier than fat, which is why I didn't lose any weight.
During this whole transformation I've been going through, the support I have been given is incredible. I have relied on the support of my close friends because although I have lost all this weight, I look in the mirror and see the same person. It will take a while for me to see the changes just for the fact that I see myself everyday. The last week of the semester I had so many people come up to me and say how great I look. I haven't had anyone say that to me in a long time. So a massive thank you to everyone who has supported me, I am very grateful. Though I would like to single out one particular person.
I would definitely consider her one the closest and most valuable friends I have. The friendship that she has give me is truly a beautiful gift from God. She encourages me every time I see her and always tells me how proud she is of me for the hours I have put in at the gym. Last year when I told her about how I wanted to join a gym when I settled down, she instantly said how great that would be, most importantly, she instantly believed that I would lose an extreme amount of weight. Without her love, friendship, moments at Gringo's and support, this weight loss journey that I am on would be a lot tougher than it already is. You know who you are. You know that you are an amazing friend. I will forever be grateful of our friendship.
So to end this blog I shall tell you that I had a weigh in today. And as Jesus said I would, I indeed lost 2 kilos bringing my total to 10kgs. I huge milestone in my life. I am oh so happy with myself. Peace my friends...
