Hey so I initially had been telling myself that I wasn’t going to submit one of these until I reached I don’t know pretty much my goal weight (ie actually probably never). But I need to get over myself more, because I need to learn how to be proud of who I am now instead of ashamed of who I once was. Particularly because I never, ever hated myself no matter what my size was. I’ve worried what other people think of me, of course, and hated that they thought the worst of me because of my weight. I’ve always wanted what’s best for myself, and that’s never been obesity. But I only could ever want better for myself because I knew that I deserved more, not just because I wanted to be less.

And also today I finally broke a boundary that I couldn’t get past for years and now weigh less then I did pretty much my entire adult/adolescent life, which is pretty cool.

I still have a bit of a ways to go, and I struggle with the fact still that most days I still feel like I’m just as heavy as I was in the first picture. But I’d really like to get out of the 200’s (and I’m closer now then ever) and cross the threshold from “obese” to “overweight” but honestly after that I don’t have any specific goals. I’ve adjusted my lifestyle enough that I’m willing to let my body settle where it wants, and I’m not going to try and force anything.

(I’m down nearly 75 pounds from my highest weight, there is about a 50 pound and 3 year difference between photos.)
