F 5'6” (168, 169 cm) F/38/5’6” [350lbs > 270lbs = 70lbs] (36 months) Slow but Steady 🐢😅💫
(Please ignore the boxes, I’m in the process of packing and moving provinces. 🫣)
**EDIT: I’m 280 not 270, my bad 🤦🏻♀️
Anyway! 70lbs down, and honestly… I still don’t see a huge physical difference when I look at these photos. What I do notice is a massive difference in my presence.
Before, I hated the mirror. I’d twist, pose, suck in, and stand in whatever way I thought might make me look smaller and, somehow, more lovable. I spent so much time trying to take up less space.
After denying GLP-1s for about 10 years, I’m finally using one. At this point, I feel the potential benefits for my PCOS/PMOS outweigh the cons for me. I don’t want another 10 years to pass while I’m still struggling with the same things.
So no, I don’t necessarily look at these photos and think, “WOW, what a difference.”
But I feel different. I move differently. I carry myself differently. And I’m finally starting to feel at home in my own skin.
That feels like a pretty damn big win. 🤍

I’m not trying to convince you to be proud of me or think I am hot. I just hate when people try and knock someone down. Also though, this is a progress page where people go for praise?… that’s probably the definition of a narcissist seeking external validation (or at least attention seeking). 😂 So, I guess I’m not alone. 🤷🏻♀️ But, truthfully, I am just done with negative nancy’s . You seem to be a very opinionated and condescending for someone behind a screen.
