Getting brave here I’d like to start with thanks to knottylady. I love you.
Also you may be saddened or relieved to know I never posed for a pic in a bathing suit while overweight.
Here I am for my 28th birthday in size 14 pants in the first pic. Maybe you see a little muffin top, I definitely was in possession of size 16 pants.
I had a fun time in November when I finally reached 160 which is the middle pic. I remember being elated because to be healthy weight for my height in the Navy you have to be under 160. I had been 180 or more for so very long it seemed like a far off goal. I took a pic in the same shirt then pitched it.
The last pic is this past weekend. It’s weird because of how hard it is to be satisfied. (I’m looking at you knottylady!!!!!)
I can see where the waist of the jeans hits my stomach and I wish it was smooth. I am thinking, “oh no, muffin top all over again!”
But truthfully they are size 8. I weighed 147 this morning. I didn’t think I could make it this far so what do I have to complain about?
