Accidentally Lost 34 Pounds By Working Retail

Okay sooo a little backstory: My 2016-2018 was a whole lot of fast food, unemployment, and 0 exercise. Doctors said I had a thyroid (never really followed up on it, docs swept it under the rug) was obese for my age/height [19F, 5’2] and was a pre-diabetic. My starting weight was 191 but that didn’t last too long since I decided to lose weight. Went down to 181 and stayed that weight for the rest of 2017. Welp, let’s just say sh*t happened in 2018 [ostracized from my friend group, quit my job, lots of sad emotions] I stopped weighing myself so I’m not too sure how much I weighed but my pants were size 12, wore L-XL for most shirts and dresses. Officially a year after all the bad things happened I got two retail jobs and decided to get it together. I still eat out, but I did pick up lots of shifts. Safe to say lots of walking around and picking things up and putting them away in the opposite side of the room multiple times a day. Now I’m 157 and I keep losing weight. Honestly, I didn’t intend on a weight loss journey I really just wanted to get my feet back on the ground by getting work and it’s been doing me lots of favors. Now I’m a size 8 in pants and L clothing just doesn’t fit anymore (Medium is my go-to size). Goal weight is 145 and the fact that I’m closer than I think is oddly exciting since I randomly decided that was a “good looking” number years ago but never really intended on getting there.

P.S. I’m off the pre-diabetes watchlist! :)
