I know it’s not the best before and after because of the different angles but the back story is much more significant.
The first photo was at my brothers year 7 graduation in 2012 and I was in the middle of the worst place in my life.
I hated my job, the people were horrible and I actually disliked them so much that I never spoke to them unless I had to. (In a tight workplace with only a few people working that gets really lonely and tedious.) I had to get glasses from being in front of the computer all day, I gained a lot of weight from sitting behind a desk and never moving.
I was in a terrible relationship where he abused me emotionally and physically. We ate take out basically every day. I hated being with him but he made it very hard to leave.
I never realised the impact that year of my life had on my body until after I left the relationship. But even then I found it hard to change my mentality when there were bad foods so easily accessible to me. I had seen photos of myself and hated them but I never felt that big. I didn’t come to terms that the girl in the photo was me. It was disgusting.
I really started making a change at the end of last year when I moved out of home with my current boyfriend. He has really helped me along the way and has put up with all my crap. I had my own space to do what I needed to start my weight loss journey without the temptation of the snack foods my mum kept at her house for my brothers.
Now half a year later I feel better than ever and am almost back to the size I was when I was at school. I am so happy with my progress and even though it’s still hard for me to stay on track, I try and take each day as it comes and strive to become the best version of myself I have ever been :)
