Feel Like Myself Now

I was waiting until I hit goal weight to do this, but I’m 4lbs away and stalled so screw it here it is #transformationtuesday and because I can’t possibly write a serious post with only serious pics, you get a douche instagram pic at no extra charge 👌

Stats: highest known weight when not preggers was 242, Im now 154, so down 88lbs, sz xl or xxl to accommodate the boobs I once had, to a size small/med now. Chubby chucky doll appearance to teenage boy chic (was always hot as balls though clearly 🔥)

One thing I learned along this journey is that people think that its more socially acceptable to body shame when you’re not overweight.... it’s not, people will try to bring you down when you try to bring yourself up, thank the supporters and say f*** off to the haters.

    Pretty sure you're my new favourite person, and not JUST because you used the hashtag douchelarouche, but it sure helped! Awesome progress too.

    Your post is amazing on all points. I don't do the teenage boy chic thing (I sometimes dress like an Asian male hip hop dancer, but I digress) - I'm really into the classic/subtle sexy look. However, you LOOK FANTSTIC with what you are wearing. Plus the dark hair and the red lipstick really pop against your skin. It's a stunning contrast.

    As for the people who felt the need to woo such a positive post, they basically proved your point for you. You've decided your now is your now, and you aren't rehashing the negatives of your yesterday. Instead, you're doing you - the new you.

    Congratulations, you look great, your legs are looking nice and lean, and a perfect fit with your style. Great job!

    I get the four pound thing, ,, sometimes you arrive early...you look fantastic, no one is going to put you on a scale and weigh you when you walk into a room. It's all about how you feel and your happiness.

    You are so cute you should be a Pokemon.

    Love you saying "feel like myself now".

    That's how I'm feeling, 2.5 years after I lost 80 lbs. Not only did I get back to my "me" weight, but I'm not depressed nor drinking every day, and I'm being creative like there's no tomorrow, like me before adulting and all its avoidance and guilt took over.

    I seem to have lost my "issues" along with my excess weight and back to my optimism of youth.

    Is that the sort of thing you've been finding?
