Slim Within: My Journey to a Better, Healthier Me.

Feeling small today 💁🏽😏

Today was my official first day of term. This is my 3rd time of starting 1st year 🙈 The last two academic years I was unable to complete the year due to mobility issues caused by being obese. I'm so glad I had WLS because now I'll be able to complete not only first year but the whole course - and I'll finally be able to truly enjoy my uni experience. So excited for this academic year and all it has to offer.

NSV Alert 📢💥 So on my way to uni this morning I sat on the back row of seats, and as the bus started getting packed I was hoping no one would want to sit next to me because I didn't want to feel squashed or to make anyone else feel squashed. Usually when the bus is packed people would avoid sitting next to me, but not today ☺😜 The whole back row was full and to my surprise I didn't feel squashed at all 🙌🏽 I love the feeling of not being squashed or squashing someone else on public transport but I am going to miss having a free seat next to me 😒 lool

These are not the best pictures but when I was out I realised how small (in comparison) I looked. Before surgery I wasn't a fan of full length or bathroom selfies but I'm really starting to like the way I look in them now.

Earlier I had Burger King for the first time since surgery, I ordered a burger which I couldn't finish (which I expected) but the whole experience of eating it wasn't as enjoyable as I imagined it would be 🤢😷👎🏾

I'm not meant to be weighing myself until the end of September but I couldn't help myself 🙈🙈 It was well worth it because I've now lost over 100lbs #100lbsgone. To be precise I've lost 48.4kg/106.7lbs/7st 8lbs since surgery 🙌🏾😏🎊🎉

Late post but my 3 month post op comparison pictures. At the time of the July pictures I was down 41kg/90.4lbs - I wanted to be at 100lbs lost but 90 is still amazing

Lately I've been focusing way too much on what the scale is saying. I've literally been weighing myself everyday 🙈😪🤷🏽‍ So I've decided I won't be weighing myself until I return to uni at the end of September/beginning of October which will also coincide with my 6 month surgiversary
