Updated before and after. 260lbs gone!

So yeah, marriage is pretty cool!

It’s been a hell of a year. Both good and bad. I got married, which was very good. I graduated with my MSW - also very good. But I’ve also been batting hard with mental health. I was hospitalized for the first time in almost 10 years and came so close to self-harming for the first time in 5 years. I’m on new medication, attending treatment, and have a shiny new diagnosis - CPTSD. So no, I don’t have BPD and never have. A relief, but also kind of unnerving. I have a lot to unpack and a lot of work to do, but I’m well on my way.

Hit goal weight today! 276 pounds gone. ❤️

I am down to 154 pounds! 4 pounds to goal and it’s blowing my mind!

Haven’t posted in a while. Down to 159 and feeling great! 9 pounds to goal!

Did nothing to my hair and ended up having a decent hair day. 🤷‍♀️

This swimsuit tho. ❤️❤️❤️

It’s sweater weather in Utah today and I’m kinda loving it.

I hit 179 pounds today. 29 pounds from goal weight! 🤩

Since when do I have a waist? WHO IS SHE?!

Beautiful, sunny and 70 degrees today. Trying to enjoy it and not be so depressed but it’s proving difficult.

Today was a day. 🤪

If you’d told me two years ago that someday I’d be brave enough to leave my house in this I’d have laughed in your face. And yet here we are. Learning to love this strong, beautiful body of mine.

It’s 8AM and I’ve been awake for three hours. 😅

Struggling today. ☹️

Good morning! I’ve discovered that my porch only gets direct sunlight in the morning so trying to spend as much time outside as possible until it gets shady again. Have a great day! ☺️
