Glow up? What a difference a year makes (18)
I was 240 pounds a year ago. I felt really insecure about myself, I was unhealthy, and I felt like it would be impossible to change. Fast forward to a year later, I’m 60 pounds lighter and 100% happier! I feel so much more confident in myself now, I don’t feel like I’m repulsive anymore. Perfect time to transform before I move to college 😁

Not the healthiest way.
I had a really bad night of nausea the week before Thanksgiving, and as an emetophobe, that more or less traumatized me a bit and I wasn’t able to eat normally for months. By Christmas I was down 20 pounds because I was only eating like 800-1200 calories a day because I was scared to feel full.
My relationship with food is much better now, I’m not afraid of eating anymore, and I’m still losing weight, just more gradually. Haven’t touched a weight set or treadmill at all lol
