October 2025, 1 year sober and 80 lbs down. What learning to love myself and my life looks like these days 😊
The difference that 12 months of sobriety and following a calorie deficit can do. Excited to see what the next 12 months brings. 😊
75 lbs down. Stuck in this plateau for over a month now, but still feeling good. Started strength training, time to tone up!
Who would have thought, this was something that I could do? All on my own? My BMI is officially out of the "obese" range, here's to getting healthy.
65-70 lb loss range has been the most stubborn to get past. Stuck in this plateau has me feeling a bit of lost hope, until I remember how far I've come.
How can someone go from being what seemed like perfect for me, to the complete opposite ?
Was I really that blind to the signs ?
2024 vs 2025. 55lbs down.
My dating experience sober and what it taught me.
1. People can communicate their needs effectively, and being interviewed for future role of wife leads to feel wanted and important falso intimacy. You taught me to set my bar higher and to communicate my needs. You ghosted me after I shared that I like to give my partner little gifts to make their day better.
2. You taught me that I need to pay attention to what my past failed relationships have shown me and to steer clear of those patterns. You told me I was too good for you and then showed me that I am.
3. You taught me what it feels like to be a priority to someone. You also taught me that I shouldn't trust so easily and trust beautiful eyes. You pushed me to my brink and almost made me give up, but couldn't take away my soul
3 dating experiences that lead me to you. I'll leave it there for now, scared to say more and jynx it.

It really was, all just for show. I never knew I'd be apart of some sick reality show to keep your marriage alive. You sick fucks
I romanticize everything, to the point of self-destruction. I fabricate love stories in various places, leading to isolation. There are so many places I can no longer visit because I've given them away to love. Throughout my life, I've always been the one responsible for breaking my own heart.
I Am My Own Mirage by Royla Paula Rădița Asghar
I had eight days with you, on the first day you were the sweet prayer of salvation, you wrote me poetry in the stars, with the moon devouring my whole house. Conversations of broken hearts two souls finally touching each other. The fingertips almost grasping an essence of a strange acquaintance. On the second day, I promised myself that I will never write you poetry. Because it seems like every time I write a lover a poem, it becomes a curse. The downfall of something that could almost explode in obsession. But I wrote anyways... As I am writing now; half in love, half heartless. The third day, I asked myself, what it would be like to be utterly destroyed by something unknown. To close my eyes, before I give my heart. To never ask questions, to accept the violence of romance. On the fourth day, I felt more guilty than the day I betrayed my friends for love. I cried on the white couch staining it with tears and misery. I hung up the phone, and I wanted to burn all the documents of my existence. On the fifth day I wanted you more than my darkest fantasies. I was keen to accept the worst version of myself That my heart was as aloof as my younger self knew it. The sixth day was the worst, I was in the middle of life. I was in the middle of love. I was in the middle of heartbreak and success. On the seventh day, I began to dig up the cigarettes buried under my house. With dirty hands, I light one up, and I dedicate it to the plot. One for the money. Two for the show. On the eighth day, I understood that souls die just so they can mate. Now months later, I realized that you were just a beautiful stranger with the ugliest manners.
- 8 Days of Late June by Royla Paula Rădița Asghar
Fuck You, Jack. You almost had me fooled.
Fuck you Randi, you fooled me once. You'll never fool me again.
This is a feeling I've never known. A mixture of heartbreak and hatred, mourning and disgust.
You know that saying, you'll find what you need when you aren't looking for it ?
Busted. Hook line and sinker.
And then you find out the whole thing was a game for his enjoyment. Sick fuck.
Take the L.
Lost in directions, Lost gum
Lost in those brown, brown eyes
Lost lighter, lost words
Lost in those brown, brown eyes
Lost license, lost the police
Lost in those brown, brown eyes
Lost in addiction, lost in sobriety
Lost in those brown, brown eyes.

Killin it and getting killed at the same time
I can't take this much.
Crazy what a little self discipline, or maybe alot can do.
Left- March 2024 at the lowest point in my life. Drunk every night, hungover every morning, isolated, unhappy, low self confidence.
Right- March 2025 and over 4 months of no alcohol, no soda or other liquid calories(besides hot chocolate and milk), and eating in a calorie deficit most of the time. Down 40 lbs and 6 inches off my waist. I feel energized when I wake up and have found a craving for life and adventure again. I want to have and maintain friendships for the first time since college. I feel like I'm rediscovering myself again, everyday.
We do recover and we do change.

Looks like I'll be tipping double.
