Past, Future, but No Weight Loss

 Let's get this thing started. I was going through pictures on my phone and thought it would be fun to do a comparison from last year. So here it is, this is me September of 2023.

I was simply surviving. I had given up on ever losing weight and excepted the fact I was going to look like that the rest of my life. A walrus with thinning fair and stomach problems and all kinds of other problems. I was getting by. Then my friends at work kept talking about this shot they took to help lose weight. At first I was like, "no, I can't do that."

From there I realized taking a shot every week wasn't so bad, but then I had the thought, "Well, it won't work for me." Finally, after a lot of talking and hearing all these stories from there I came around and figured I would give a try. It has been a little over six months and this is me now.

I NEVER thought I would be here.

Honestly, while I still have long way to go to my goal weight and my journey is really just starting. I couldn't comprehend looking the way I do now.

Not only have I lost 50 pounds but my hair is filling in, my PCOS has decreased which I love. My stomach problems are gone. I don't get heartburn like I used to from overeating, because I simply don't overeat anymore. 

Overall, I'm happy with my progress.

Now I will say I'm a little concerned because it's been two weeks and I still weigh the same, but I'm trying to stay positive. This happens. Weight loss is not a straight-line trending downward, I have to remember that. That is why I'm making this short but sweet post today. I needed to be reminder I've come so very far from where I have started, so a few weeks of no pound droppage is normal and fine.
