Well before I start this is not an extreme weight loss tip, if your wanting that then your on the wrong site. 2 months ago on my 26th birthday me and my (now ex) boyfriend split up, crappy timing but was the right thing to do and I have been working on me for the last 2 months. I have started running and logging EVERYTHING I eat and I didn't think there was much difference until I uploaded some photos.

So I lost 9lbs in 2 months and now looking at the photos I can see a difference and I know that I am in a better place and I am healthier physically, mentally and emotionally. At the time it felt like the end of my world, but I am so proud of me and everything I have achieved!

    Great Attitude :) You take care of yourself (looks like you are already doing that quite well!) Men come and go but always remember exactly what you are worth at all times.

    Funny thing is, that's an old Weight Watchers joke, but I liked seeing a visual of it. Good for you, for doing something positive for yourself after a breakup.

    Lol I was so confused at first. Sometimes dropping that kind of weight is even better than the physical kind though! Stay strong and enjoy being happy. You deserve it. :flowerforyou:
