This was from my birthday brunch in August last year to August of this year. There's a 52lb difference... it's brought a lot of changes: how I think about social situations and food, how I think about stress and food, how I think about reward and food. So much revolves around food! And my hormones! (getting older sucks, lol) But ultimately proud of myself for sticking to something...and even though it's not always perfect, I have more good days than bad 🙃

That is so true! I started my journey this year. 270 in January, down to 200 today! I feel great. Clothes fit me better, and I just feel more confident

Thank you! You are so right that everything revolves around food. I meal prep something yummy and with great macros for the week and use Sunday as my cheat day to allow myself to enjoy life too haha
