Is That Really Me???

I still CANNOT believe the transformation. I was having another episode of phantom fat, so I took my measurements and decided to do an after picture and compare it to my before pictures, and I nearly cried from emotion. Was it happiness? Disbelief? Pride? I don't know. It was an ineffable mix of emotions that words cannot describe. I am down nearly 30 lbs. I lost 6 cm on the bust, 13 cm on the waist, and 8 cm on the hips. I am still overweight, so I have another 20 lbs to go, but I am so so happy right now. The pain, tears, sacrifices, etc. have well been worth it, and I do not foresee a future where I'll ever be obese again. I posted some pictures below! I'm so sorry for the bad before pictures; I was still in some denial at the beginning, so I did everything in my power to hide the fat, even though it *was* a before picture. Still, you can see just how huge I was before.

Before:

98 cm bust-89 cm waist-114 cm hips

After:

92 cm bust-76 cm waist-106 cm hips

Because I'm pear shaped, and I focus a lot on the waist area, it shouldn't have been a surprise, but it still shocked me that I lost so much on my waist. I read that weight loss is pretty even all over the body, but the fat just melted off of my waist the most. I'm not mad about it; I like my huge thighs, and I only really cared about losing weight from the waist anyways. Hahah.
All in all, I am a little over halfway there, and I hope I inspired at least one person to stay strong on their path towards a healthier lifestyle. ^_^

Nice. I am a stick. My measurements are exactly the same all the way down, and they always have been. For that reason, nothing is bigger or smaller than anything else. I have to keep taking pictures becuase I can't see the fat otherwise!

So fun to see these.....your hard work has paid off!!! And, I would say you have an hourglass figure, not a pear:) Keep up the hard work.

Wow! I actually think you look hourglassy. Your shoulders are the same width as your hips so you look very balanced. Lovely figure

Thank you for the compliments! On my figure, it's actually been a debate for people since I was in the seventh grade. Online body calculators say that I'm a pear, but people sometimes tell me that I'm more hourglass. Maybe I'm somewhere between the two? Haha.
