5 ft 5: 194 lbs to 167.4 lbs.
I didn’t take the first picture last year as a “before” to be ashamed of. I took it because I caught one of my least easy to accept physical attributes (arms) in very unflattering lighting on the way to the shower after a workout at my old apartment. I remember stopping my negative self talk for a second and thinking “why am I being so mean to myself? Bullying? My body is bad ass and just carried me through some really physically hard things! I should be grateful.”.
So I took this picture with sweat stains & my least favorite angle to remember. I gained a little more weight between this picture and when I decided to get healthy. I still struggle a lot with gratitude for my body and self love but I make a commitment to work on that every day! Proud of how healthy and fit I am becoming and proud of my weight loss. But I’m also proud that I really tried to not shame myself or hate myself into losing weight. I did it by trying to love myself and by being gentle with myself, which is something I’ve honestly never connected with getting healthy and losing weight.
Still learning.
