2 years of work - bought new clothes today and for the first time, I didn’t see a fat girl in the mirror.

I’ve been on Ozempic for over two years and it has been extremely helpful in eating at a deficit.

I initially didn’t do any exercise at all, but I realized early this summer that I needed and wanted to focus more on recomposition and fat loss rather than merely weight loss.

And I have! I worked out 33 times in July alone (I can barely believe it myself!)

I’ve been very hesitant about buying new clothes but I finally gave in today and bought some new ones.

And when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t immediately go ”I’m fat!”.

I’m hardly thin but I look… normal?

At least in clothes 😅

As you can see when I’m not wearing clothes, I still have a very high body fat percentage and a large stomach.

But I’ve switched from having a goal weight to focusing on reducing my waist and navel measurements (as abdominal fat is a better predictor of future health than weight alone.)

I’ve managed to lose 5lbs in July though and shaved a few centimeters off.

I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time.
