From 205lbs to 140lbs

I was looking through my Facebook Memories yesterday, and found a photo from 2013 that threw me for a huge loop. I don’t remember ever really disliking my body, but I also don’t remember ever being as big as I looked in the photo. In the photo, (which is gross because I had been crying 🤦‍♀️) I was at a 205lbs, the biggest I have been. In 2018, prior to getting pregnant, I was 182lbs. By 4 months postpartum I had lost all my baby weight and then some. Now, 7 months postpartum I am sitting at about 140lbs.

Before I had my daughter, I was a size 14. The dress I am wearing in this photo is a size 6.

I don’t mean to say being 205lbs is bad, though I know I am much healthier now. It’s just crazy how time has changed me for what I consider to be better. I always worried that having a child would ruin my body (not that it was supermodel worthy before). I feel so much more confident now and am just blown away by the difference. I showed my husband the photo from 2013 and he said he didn’t even recognize me. Yikes!
