So two years ago this month I graduated from Mary Immaculate college Limerick, Ireland with an honours degree in Education with History. It was a great day..but I really didn't like how I looked. So much so that I only have ten photos of the day, and some of those were the professional ones my parents wanted to get. I was 12st 2 and incredibly uncomfortable with how I looked. I avoided the camera like the plague and regret not having more memories on film.
Two years on, I am now 9st 13 (or 10 depending on the scales) and have never felt better. In two weeks I will be graduating from the same college with an honours Masters degree in Education ..and this time around I CANNOT WAIT for grad. I'm actually proud of what I've achieved in these two years both with the weightloss and work wise. I know it's not a huge loss compared to some of the amazing people on here but I never thought I'd get there.
So..I still have four pounds to go to goal, I doubt I'll get there before grad but I think I've come along way. There have been some seriously supportive people on here..Claudia and Claire..with the messy breakup and stress of completeing my masters earlier this year, ye;re support really meant the world. I know I've never met ye, and probably never will but ye were as good as real life friends in helping me through the rough patches. So I won't have a bf to celebrate with on grad..but I'll have the best group of friends who were amazing support and help and yer thoughts and wishes with me.
So..some photos..
