amazing how much of a difference 40 pounds can make

I typically don’t make it a habit to reblog much, as it’s just not really my style, but my best friend just started documenting her weight loss journey and It would be really awesome for you to check out her new blog.

WEIGHT LOSS WIN! Excuse the dumb face I’m making in this photo and notice that beautiful beautiful shirt! What seems to be just regular Orlando Magic apparel is actually my introduction into a smaller shirt size! I’ve been able to wear 2x hoodies and jackets for a while, but the shirts have always been a problem. So when my friends wanted to go out and all I had was my work shirt, the prospects of wearing my friends “big shirt” seemed very unlikely. Yet, here I am! Proudly representing the home team in a slightly wrinkled 2x t-shirt! And as I think about the 4X balled up gym shirt in the back of my car, I can’t help but to feel an overwhelming sense of pride. No, it doesn’t happen over night, but it does happen! And I couldn’t be happier about it. #bebrave . High-res

HONEY, I SHRUNK MYSELF Last night while I was laying in bed, mindlessly scrolling through tumblr, I reached down to scratch my leg and it felt skinny! Like, my entire leg felt skinny and fit! I instinctively let out a boisterous “HELLLLLL YEAH!!” before continuing to feel myself up like I was trying to get to second base. It just snuck up on me! One day I have walruses for legs and the next day I’m built like a Clydesdale! I can’t explain it! So when I woke up this morning and saw the size 48 jeans I bought last september hanging in the back of my closet, I knew I had to try out my new fit stems. I just wanted to see how different the fit was, then I realized I could easily fit both legs into one jean. My number on the scale hasn’t changed too much recently, but I feel healthier. Clearly my body is changing! So I guess the scale can just suck it because i’m seeing a difference like every single day! High-res
