100lbs lost— My favorite changes I didn’t expect.

My obligatory progress pics:

I’m happy to have celebrated my 100lbs lost and felt like sharing some fun changes that I hadn’t thought of before I started my “journey” or whatever you want to call it.

-My collarbones. I missed them, but I didn’t realize how much. I can’t stop touching them. And that little dip between my shoulder and my chest? chef’s kiss

  • When I lay on my side, I can tell where my hip bones are. I’m very pear-shaped, so this is a huge win for me.

-I can lay on my couch and my corgi and fit beside me. I fully support anything that gets me more cuddles!

-When I touch my face, I can feel the structure of my cheekbones and the slight hollow underneath. No more guessing where to contour when I do my makeup!

-Which brings me to— less makeup. I enjoy doing my makeup, but I used to feel like it was necessary to do it any time I left the house. I always felt like doing my makeup showed I cared about my appearance, even if my body did not. But now, my skin is clearer and I’ve worked so hard on my body that idgaf that I have dark circles.

-When I get caught outside in inclement weather, I can run home or to my car without getting so winded I have to stop (a result of weight loss + picking up running).

Some background info— I started in 2018 at 265lbs, lost about 50lbs, but gained 20lbs back in 2019. When things shut down (and after I saw my vacation pics from Feb. 2020), I buckled down again and went from 235lbs to 165lbs (I’m about 160 now). To do this, I counted calories and ate whatever I wanted within my daily budget. Wanting to improve on my physical capabilities (and because I’m impatient and wanted to see results more steadily), I added cycling, running, and now strength training. I’m hoping to get down to 140lbs, but will re-evaluate my goals as I get closer.
