First pic: about 220 lbs (my heaviest)
Second pic: 185 lbs
Goal: 130 lbs
I’ve been gaining and losing weight on and off for at least five years and I’m still not done. My mom has always been really small and held my weight against me for a long time and constantly tried to police my diet and exercise but her efforts had the opposite effect on me. It was only when I was finally diagnosed with ADD and depression that I was able to get the help I really needed. I finally had the energy and motivation I needed to become someone I could really love. I lost 30 pounds in high school but then gained 60 pounds at a school that I hated and a dead end job where I was horribly unhappy. It got to the point that I was concerned about my health and couldn’t even walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. Now I am at a school where I am truly happy, I’ve made tons of amazing friends, and I’m able to explore myself and my interests in ways that I didn’t know were even possible AND I actually enjoy exercise! It’s crazy how different circumstances can have such drastically different effects.
I just wanted to share my story in case there is anyone else struggling with the same things I struggled with. I was inspired to submit a pic because I saw a girl with a similar body type and then was amazed to see my progress! The fight still isn’t over but hey, as long as I love myself and can be kind to myself and others I would say that’s a victory!
