On the left me at last Christmas, at my heaviest, really not wanting to be in any pictures, and when I saw this posted, started crying. On the right, me from this weekend, wearing short shorts and a bodysuit (not pictured) feeling cute and sending drunk selfies to my friends. This is what the 40lb weightloss looks like in my face.

April to June

Today is the day that we take our engagement photos! I’m excited to have them over with and to celebrate with some actual wine and beer, before getting back on it. Happy about my progress at this point. Although I’d definitely have rather never taken these photos, at least I’m feeling better than I was earlier this year.

Mostly, never underestimate the confidence that comes with a good tan.

Been working really hard this month, just haven’t been updating. Trying to get my quarantine weight off before my wedding in a few weeks. I had just hit 159 before everything shut down in March. Over the first few months I managed to maintain decently, only a few pounds gained from just sitting around and eating and drinking all day. I need to be busy to lose weight unfortunately, so I resigned myself to not losing weight while I was stuck at home. Somehow in the last month (June) I put on four more pounds, bringing myself back up to about 168. It was hard knowing how much time and effort I had put into losing it the first time and just made me have a really bad self image. I’ve been down at 161 the last few days so I’m happy to have gotten down to about where I was previously. Hoping to be under 160 in the next few weeks for the wedding, and then give myself a little bit of room to just enjoy and celebrate a bit.
