#weightloss progress

I used to avoid mirrors. I’d brush my teeth looking down, refuse to check my outfit, and skip any store with dressing rooms. Seeing myself felt like punishment.

Because the reflection didn’t lie. It showed me everything I didn’t want to see—the weight I couldn’t lose, the failure I couldn’t hide.

Friends would say “Just love yourself.” But how could I love a body that betrayed me at every turn?

I tried every diet. Starved myself. Pushed myself to exhaustion. Nothing worked for long. I felt like my body was mocking me.

My confidence was gone. My social life dried up. I stopped dating. Stopped dreaming.

It wasn’t just about weight. It was about believing I deserved good things.

Then I learned about this forgotten protocol people once used to help their bodies release stubborn fat.

It wasn’t about deprivation or punishment. It was about balance. Trust.

I started doing it quietly. A small change in my daily routine that signaled to my body it didn’t have to hold on so tightly.

And over time? I noticed shifts I didn’t think were possible. My cravings eased. My energy felt stable. My body felt lighter—not just on the scale but in the way I carried myself.

And one day, I looked in the mirror and didn’t flinch. I actually smiled.

If you’re tired of hating your reflection, please know it doesn’t have to stay this way.

November's starting weight 🥳

I really didn't think that I would've lost some weight since my last weekly weigh-in because I didn't exactly eat the best over the weekend, but I was pleasantly surprised!

I've technically lost 10lbs since starting my journey, though I think the majority of those pounds are probably from water weight but I'm still taking it!
