My journey

This was Summer 2016 before I decided that a lifestyle change was needed. I was very insecure about my body and taking this picture, I remember feeling SO uncomfortable. I was around 190 pounds.

January 1, 2017 when I finally decided that it was time and I even declared it with a “before” photo. I was tired of feeling energy-less, I knew I deserved better. I was 185 pounds here.

This was my body in about May 2017. I really hadnt noticed my body shrinking until my parents started to point it out. I really hadnt done anything special besides get out of a toxic relationship, walk every day, do abs daily and just watch what I eat. I was about 146 pounds here.

This was around September 2017. Still not comfortable with my body, during this time I still felt like my body was not good enough. I was working out about 4 times a week & watching what I ate. I think I was about 150 in this photo. (I stopped looking at my weight because numbers really get to me.)

This is me now. I checked the scale the other day and I am 155 pounds. Seeing the scale increase is discouraging, but I recently got back on birth control in December. (I wasnt on Birth Control for most of 2017)

I am not happy with my body, I know it could be SO much better. Yes, I have lost a lot of weight, but I still feel as if I look like a blob of fat.
