22 | 5'6" | SW: 117.5kgs/259lbs | CW: 93.5kgs/206lbs | GW: 70kgs/155lbs
Christmas of last year, I was 117.5kgs (259lbs), the highest weight I've ever been, and I was absolutely miserable about it. On Christmas day, a friend happened to have a camera, and was taking photos of everyone, and when I saw them uploaded I was eager to see what shots they'd gotten. Unfortunately for me, it was a massive reality check and several of the pictures made me start crying, as I was shocked & horrified that I'd let myself get this big.
In the new year, life changed a lot for me, in various ways. A big thing that happened was that I went through a breakup, which unfortunately kicked off my journey in a very unhealthy way, barely eating for a couple weeks. It did help me lose a few pounds to start out with, sure, but when I did start eating properly again, I discovered that I never seemed to need as much food as I thought I did, and I'd stop eating when I felt full, not when my plate was clean. I stopped eating fast food multiple times a week, started meal prepping, weighing my portions out & counting my calories. I also work out & play sports at least 3 times per week, too!
Since January, I've lost 24kgs and I feel absolutely brilliant about it, and I'm at the halfway point to my goal weight! I'm so stoked with my journey & lifestyle switch, and I just have so much motivation to keep on going!
Out of curiosity, I decided to put on the outfit from Christmas just to see how different I looked, and the resulting comparison photos have given me so much confidence that I'm going in the right direction 😁
