It’s been a long while since my last post but that doesn’t mean I’ve fallen off the bandwagon. I’ve been super busy at work for the past couple of months and unfortunately I’ve neglected my blog a bit which is something I really do not want to do. Part of the reason why I created this was to keep me accountable and motivated throughout my journey and to share my successes and my struggles with whomever is interested.
Since my last check-in, when I shared I had finally pushed through my weight loss plateau it seems I’ve hit another one. I haven’t really lost much weight since and because I’ve been weighing myself more frequently now (which I told myself I wouldn’t do) I see a lot of fluctuations throughout the week that can be a bit discouraging when you feel like you’re working your ass off (literally).
Weight aside, this past month has brought me a few “non scale victories” which I am happy about. During my business travel, I was able to buckle up the air plane seat belt without the need of an extension and/or feeling like the I cut the circulation to my lower extremities as I often felt when I was too embarrassed to ask for an extension. Flying is still not as comfortable as I would like it to be but it was definitely a big improvement.
Furthermore, I didn’t feel like people were put off by having to sit next to me as it’s happened before. Usually, I can tell in their faces when they see me and think “Oh shit, I have to sit next to this fat ass for next few hour” which if I’m honest I completely understood, even if it did hurt my feelings and made me feel like shit.
I haven’t been able to work out as consistently, however I do feel changes in my body and clothes are fitting much better which is a huge thing. I know I still have a long way to go but I’m already feeling more comfortable with how I look and my confidence is slowly coming back so I am not giving up now. I am working on continuing to improve my eating habits as I still struggle but overall I think I’m doing good.
Now – for my current progress pictures. Still awkward as hell but gotta keep being accountable. I’ve also updated my weigh loss progress page here, and my progress pictures page here, if you want to take a look at my journey so far.
Thank you for reading and until next time.

Wow! You’re doing great! Congrats on the non scale victories! Those are more important than the scale. 😀
Thank you! At first is a bit discouraging when that scale doesn’t move but little things like this sure bring a smile to my face.
