I was in denial about how much weight I had put on. When I went home for Thanksgiving break I received a bunch of comments about my weight. The biggest shock was seeing myself in my old mirror. I remember looking into that mirror and seeing the 8 pack of a teen who loved to play sports. All I saw that day was fat. I was determined to get back to my old self.

It's so strange how as soon as I started working out again I had twice as much energy as I used to. I always love setting and achieving goals, so this will fall nicely into that.
