I won't tear my past self down.
I won't talk negatively about myself either.

I was hurting, I was grieving and I was working through some serious life sh1t - alcohol and food were my medicine.

I will say that I feel the best I have in a very long time - mentally, physically and emotionally!

โ€ข I've re-discovered my love of swimming
โ€ข I've learned how to enjoy treats without overindulging
โ€ข I've lost 3 dress sizes

I still have quite a way to go, but I wanted to share my progress so far and celebrate the achievement ๐Ÿฅฐ


I am open to friend requests from committed and supportive MFPers.

    Congrats on all your progress! Emotional & physical health are equally important and you managed both at the same time. You should be very proud of yourself :)

    Amazing progress! Keep up the hard work! It's so much harder to lose when you're short in stature, I'm barely 5'2" so I'm in the same boat
