I clearly remember how hard I tried to look good in the first picture. It was taken by my boss during a corporate photoshoot and I felt so bad about my weight that I almost feigned illness that day.
Now I’m glad I didn’t.
Just because I was larger at that time doesn’t mean I was less of a person, unworthy, or unsophisticated at what I was doing. It’s easy to adopt a narrow, depressive self-image when you’re unhappy with parts of your life and I was definitely guilty of doing so, but my weight doesn’t define my worth or who I am – I’m still the girl above, and I always will be. I’m just a bit smaller now.
Despite everything, I’m still me. Loosing the first 60 lb kind of opened my eyes about that.
My weight loss journey started in August 2015 after my physician told me I’m unable to conceive. I felt awful about what decades of acquired bad habits had done to my body and decided to change it for good by following a LCHP diet, but in my opinion, what kind of diet you stick to is not that important as long as it works for your everyday life.
Its still a long way down. I’ll give it the time I need. :)
