At the age of 16, I weighed 250 pounds at 5’10 and wore a 39 waist, XL and sometimes XXL T shirts, and most of all had no confidence.
Now (the right picture) at age 20, I weigh 168 lbs, a 32 inch waist, and feel (read: and look) the best I’ve ever been/felt. I went shopping today and all the shirts and shorts I picked out were mediums...OMG!
While I do feel puberty was a large factor in me losing my weight (been heavy all my life, from ages 6-16). True, I do work out and eat better now. But a huge part of it was seeing the difference in the mirror for myself, not what others told me. I’m putting this out there to encourage everyone that progress, and I mean any progress, is PROGRESS! Be proud of yourself for where you’ve come and where you’re going to go. Smoking cannabis and switching to low cal coffee has helped me to eat better and cutting soda was the biggest achievement (at one point I was drinking 3 cans of regular cola a day).
I went to the beach with some friends this summer and took my shirt off for the first time since I was 6 years old. 14 years passed by between that of dreading the beach because I wasn’t happy with my body. I still have some work ahead of me (toning/cutting a few areas), but am so thrilled with where I am now. Sorry if this is a bit rushed, I’m writing this in an uber lmao, but would love to hear more from you guys in the comments!
