I've been so inspired by the transformation photos I've seen here. I've been struggling with flare ups of UC. I've had a rough go and the doctor told me trying to loose some weight could help. I've had one major surgery for GI issues this year already and despite medications, I've lost about 70 lbs. I feel like I couldn't physically tell a difference but my husband suggested that I compare back to the pictures I've taken. Today was the day I realized that though I may not feel too different, it does look like I've lost weight! It's the one real physical positive my body has had for a while so I'm feeling pretty proud of it.

Also, apparently I got a better bra 😂
