Things that have happened since I’ve lost weight
I can run up the stairs and not feel out of breath
All my classmates from 9th grade asking me how I lost so much weight
I finally have the confidence to wear cute clothes so I get tons of compliments from cute girls
People notice me more
I showed an old pic of myself to my crush and he was like “wow you looked so different! And now you look like a model!”
My bus driver who never talks to me complimented me on my weight loss
My parents actually being concerned when I don’t eat enough instead of applauding me
My thighs don’t burn anymore when I wear shorts
All the stares
My high tops look more aesthetic around my thin ankles
My friends constantly measuring my wrists
Guys hit on me more and not as a joke
I stare at myself in the mirror with admiration and not hatred
My mom changing her nickname for me from “piggylicious” to “skinny mini”
I don’t feel inferior next to my friends
My rings constantly sliding off my fingers
I don’t get frustrated in changing rooms anymore
Poking extra holes in my belts
My tummy doesn’t bulge out of my high waisted pants
My feet don’t feel as sore when I wear heels
I don’t feel as awkward when I jump up and down
I can fit bracelets that I haven’t been able to fit since I was nine
My arms don’t get tired when I wash my hair
Since I’ve gained confidence I’ve become a bit more social
I don’t cry in the shower anymore
I can dance around my room without feeling like I’m breaking the floor
I’m now thinner than the girls I used to envy
Not having to constantly pull my skirts down when I walk
I take up less space when I sit on the bus
This list is really random but making it made me realize just how far I’ve come and I honestly think 14 year old me would be so fucking proud cause I never thought this possible❤️
