Salad Days
Just a 21 year old girl on a journey to health.

Feeling not so good about my body today. I hate the way my thighs jiggle when I walk, how I’ve lost my boobs (d to b ack!), my flabby arms.
It’s so weird, because I never felt this way when I was heavier. I was very good at being a fat person, haha. (I mean, I still am, but less so).
So this is weird for me. Not sure what to do with it.

As of today, I’ve lost 101 lbs! I’ve gone from 350 to 249 in a little over a year. (I started October 4th, 2011)
Crazy. Awesome.

Wow, I really needed to see this today. I can’t believe I’ve come so far!
Before: 350lb, size 30 pants, size 3x/4x shirt
Now: 260lbs, size 20/22 pants, 1x shirt
I can’t believe I’ve lost 90lbs in 10 months! I can’t wait to see how I look in another 10 months. :)

Let this day go down in history as the day I tried on a pair of size 20 jeans, got them all the way up, button & zipped. They’re still a little tight, but holy crap. A size 20!!
It might not seem like much, but I have no idea the last time I was a size 20. To think, last October I was a size 30, the largest size you can find. It feels like a big accomplishment.
The scale read 260lbs today. I’ve lost 90lbs. Wowza.

Tumblr, I sort of forgot you existed. Haha! Here’s a little update.
I went through a serious plateau that was SO FRUSTRATING. I felt like I was never going to lose again. Finally coming out of it. I now weight 266. I’m so close to my 250 goal!
I can’t believe I’ve lost 86 lbs. 86!! That is so crazy to me. I’m so close to 100. :)
Over all, this journey has been amazing. The only frustrating thing is I’m completely losing my boobs, haha! I’ve gone from a 46D to a 40B. Annoying! I guess I’ll be stocking up on padded bras!

Lost 2 more pounds today! Down to 280. I’ve lost 70 pounds! That is so crazy to me. I think I’m going to need a new jeans size soon, which will make me a size 22. I don’t even remember the last time I was a 22.
Right before I started losing weight, I remember thinking “I’m in the largest size pants I can find, what am I going to do if I don’t fit into these anymore??” So glad I decided to start losing. :)

I just wanted to say that you are doing so well in your weight loss! I saw your before and during pictures, and you can definitely tell how much hard work you're putting in, you should be proud :) Keep it up dear!

Long time, no see, tumblr! I’ve been so busy lately and frankly, not losing any weight. Today was the first time in ages the scale has moved. 282! Can’t believe I’ve lost nearly 70 lbs. I’ve got so much more to go, but it feels so good every time the scale goes down.
Today I took another before and during shot, and I thought I’d share it. The difference isn’t huge, but I’m starting to notice it more and more, especially in the way clothes fit. Nothing from 70 lbs ago fits, and I can wear shirts from stores like the gap now. :)

285 on the scale this morning. Love that I’m inching farther and farther away from 300. People are finally starting to notice my weight loss. I’m 4 pants sizes down! So exciting. :)

I actually despise some people on tumblr that think it is okay to say someone looks like a ‘pig’.
“If you eat like a pig, you’ll look like a pig.”
Actually, no. I hate to single out my friends but I have some— one in particular that will admit it— that eat ‘like a pig’. This friend eats everything and you know what? She’s a fucking model. She doesn’t look like anything remotely close to a pig.
Shut up.
I’ll get mad over whatever I like, especially when society perceives people MY size as gluttonous pigs that eat whatever we can put are hands on. When, in all reality, there are people MY size and bigger who eat healthily, eat moderately, or have some sort of eating disorder. The same can be said for thinner people— they can eat more, they can eat healthily, they can have eating disorders.
Don’t assume. /End shitty rant.
THIS.
