My Journey

feeling sick when i eat fast food or junk because my body’s adjusted to healthier food and now craves it 

my skin being sensitive where my hip bones are because there aren’t millions of layers of fat cushioning them anymore 

waking up and feeling the dip of my stomach, knowing it’s smaller than it was last week 

looking in the mirror and noticing a piece of clothing is looser 

looking at old pictures of my body and comparing them to new, recent pictures 

my rings slipping off of my fingers because they’re too big for me now 

realizing you need to go down a size instead of up one 

the taste of fruit, gum or tooth paste instead of fats and carbs when i want to binge

warm tea, water or broth calming my stomach when i’m hungry in the evenings after a successful day 

sweat rolling down my neck or back, because i’m cleansing and strengthening my body 

slipping the belt hook in a notch it’s never been able to reach before, or latching my bra on the inside hooks because it’s starting to get loose 

starting to fit into mainstream clothes at popular stores because my body is getting closer and closer to perfect
