Breakthrough/ realization

I've been having so many of these, but today, I was thinking about the reason I really started working out:

I started working out, because when I weighed myself, I realized my weight came down to143 pounds. One-hundred and Forty-three pounds is the lowest weight I've ever been at, however, IT DIDN'T SHOW ON MY BODY. That made something click in my head automatically. We always look for the easiest, fastest ways to lose weight, and we always think that the number on the scale matters, but it doesn't. I had read this many, many times and I did understand how it would make sense, but it didn't fall through in my head because I had never experienced it for myself. 
I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the number on the scale, I was in clear disbelief, one because looking in the mirror I thought I had gained weight instead of losing so much, two, because I was eating for my health rather than to lose weight I didn't even realize weight loss was happening. As I saw that the number on the scale didn't reflect what I saw in the mirror, it hit me that it didn't matter how much weight I'd lose, I wouldn't get the tight, toned body I've always wanted without putting in the physical work.

I was motivated beyond anything to do workout, I felt this sudden urge to get active, and I just got up and decided to do it. It helped that my friend also wanted to join in on the workout/eat right fun. When I first started working out it was different this time because I had been eating better, so the workouts felt easier, and I had tons of energy! So I was even more motivated to do what I had to do. 

And that's how it all started to come together ^^
