So this is not a before and after, but people have been asking me about my progress so far.
When people in real life have asked me how much I’ve lost, I said I’ve only lost 10lbs. They get really surprised, and they said that I have lost a lot more than that. I got really confused because I didn’t feel like I’ve lost any more than 10lbs. Since I’ve been at 220 since November maybe and the scale hasn’t budged either.
When I took my during picture it made more sense. It just proves that just because your scale isn’t changing the numbers, doesn’t mean your body isn’t. I have replaced a lot of my fat with muscle, and my skin is much tighter than the previous times I have lost weight. I also like myself a lot more than when I went from a size 22 to a size 14 as a teenager. Which to me is something I never thought would happen.
Don’t believe everything that the scale says because it’s not measuring how much you’re kicking your own ass. It measures your organs, poop, water, muscles, and etc. So don’t get discouraged! You’re doing awesome.
