When I saw I lost a total of…
5 lbs, my wrists seemed less chunky
10 lbs, the back of my shoulders seemed less round
15 lbs, I had lost the hunch behind my back and my stomach had gotten smaller, plus my jawline started showing
20 lbs, my collarbones and the ribs above my breasts started showing, my neck had gotten smaller and my cheekbones started showing
25 lbs, my hipbones were visible when I layed on my bed, and my thighs so tinier when I sat on the shower floor
30 lbs, my arms seemed thinner. I could see bones, nerves and muscle working under layers of fat that had vanished
35 lbs, my calves seemed much more toned than before, and my stomach got even smaller, to the point where I could see my ribs instead of a roll
40 lbs, I became more confident when trying on clothes while shopping
45 lbs, my breasts started shrinking fast, I hadn’t lost in that zone yet
50 lbs, my boss noticed my weight loss and said “wow, is it me or everytime I see you, you’ve gotten smaller?”
55 lbs, I went through my clothes and sent more than half of them to thrift stores
60 lbs, I took a look in the mirror and saw no double chin, no back rolls and no round tummy
At first, you don’t notice the changes. After a year, you’ve forgotten where you even started. But once you start paying attention, you see the results of all those times you cried, starved, overworked yourself or purged. I swear, one day I’ll extend this list to 95 lbs.
