i’ve been feeling down about myself for a while now, as i had been continuously gaining and losing the same 7lbs for the last 4 months. i think i’m back on track now, i’m back down to 198 and am hoping i’ll finally see 197 on the scale soon!
the first time i wore this dress was in april 2011. i was roughly 230lbs at the time. i had originally purchased the dress in decemeber and it had fit MUCH better than it did when these photos were taken. i gained roughly 10lbs during finals, which resulted in the material bulging and pulling awkwardly. seeing those pictures finally made me realize a change had to occur.
i’m 5’7” and this is a before/during. :)
(please excuse my squinty tired face in the during photos!)
truth. especially the teeth part.

i cannot imagine a day where my thighs no longer rub together. where my arms don’t jiggle and i’m not embarrassed about my belly. i’ve lost around 27lbs since april 2011 and i know that’s an achievement, but it hasn’t felt that way for a while. i haven’t lost anything since january due to poor eating and a complete lack of exercise.
these last three days have been a nightmare. i’m looking after my brother’s dog while he’s away and have been eating TERRIBLY. it seems that when i’m left all alone healthy eating flies out the window. i’ve been eating mostly frozen meals and tons of bread/chips/chocolate. lots of quick meals that are loaded with salt and other terrible things. I ATE A HALF POUND OF BACON TODAY. oh my goodness, i feel so ashamed of myself.
this means i really have to start putting in some effort for the rest of the month. i have to make this lifestyle a habit again. it’s just very difficult once you’ve fallen of the wagon for a few months.
i did it once though. i can do it again. let’s aim for another 25lb loss from april to january!

ugh, i’m slipping back into my terrible eating habits and i’m not sure what to do about it. i think i need to find a fitness buddy or something. i’m still mostly maintaining my weight, but i seem to be fluctuating much more than i used to. i also just feel GROSS most of the time now. my energy is down and i feel more sullen. i just can’t seem to find the motivation i used to have.
