Okay, so I honestly totally didn’t think I lost anything over the last week. Seriously.

But I weighed in a couple times this morning I was consistently down by 2 lbs, so I’ll take it!

So I came on this morning to update my weight, but even more importantly to update my age…

That’s right, it’s my birthday! My 21st, in fact.

My office is throwing a party because they’ve never had someone so young there, so they never get to have 21st birthdays haha.

It’ll be nice, I just hope my head stops hurting soon! I’m so well prepared that I ALREADY have a headache, and I just woke up.

Anywho, thanks for being fantastic, tumblr. The fitblr community has definitely help make this my most photogenic birthday ever!

PARTY TIME ALL UP IN HERE

(Seems pretty accurate for how hard I actually party)

I just weighed in, and I’ve seen this coming for a couple days, but now it’s official….

I’ve reached my first goal!

I’m down 33lbs, at 255 now.

Only 100 more to go! I’ve got this shit.

Happy dance time!

These last few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind!

First, I graduated from university!

Then I had one week off before…

I started my new job last week!

And now, today, I’ve officially lost 30lbs~! Feels good man.

And honestly, I’ve spent a LOT of money on new clothes lately and I’m finally finding some of that “self confidence” stuff you always hear them talking about. I’m just now seeing the changes in my body, and it baffles me in the most wonderful way every time I look at myself.

Things are good.

I finally have a before and after picture! I decided to try my prom dress on again tonight. I can’t believe how much of a difference there is

5’0”
Before: 145 lbs
After: 115 lbs

Follow for before and afters every day!

Not gonna lie, as soon as I saw this I went and tried on my prom dress, since it’s the only thing I’ve had altered to fit me. I’m so stoked that it felt so loose, even though when I wore it before I had control undergarments. YAY OBSERVABLE PROGRESS.

Today’s weigh in is taking place at my parents’ house, whose scale usually registers a little higher than mine, but it’s still saying a -2lb loss! This is fantastic, because although I always round my weight UP to the next pound, I got a peek into the 250s today!

This is also the week I have off between GRADUATING UNIVERSITY and STARTING MY NEW JOB so this is a huuuuge juncture in my life.

I’m so simultaneously excited and terrified.

Anyway, before I get overwhelmed,

HAPPY GRADUATION TO MEEEEEE.

TODAY.

I JUST FEEL SO GODDAMN GOOD. Just THIS, constantly since getting home:

I think it’s that I’ve gotten through the worst of finals, since in the last week I have done 3 in-class exams, one take-home exam, two group projects, and one paper.

ONLY 2 EXAMS LEFT. And then I graduate from university and go out into the REAL WORLD and pretend to be an adult!

I think I’m getting a pretty good handle on life right now.

Seems like everything will turn out well after all :]

I totally forgot the post I made, so I thought this was something about Doctor Who haha. I appreciate your sympathy rage though!

I feel so alone.

Reblog if you are so we can become friends. :]

When I was 17 I went to the doctor about my chronic migraines. I am uninsured, so visits to the doctor were extremely rare.

When I arrived, I was weighed before being taken into the examination room. The doctor came in and we went over my migraines and some lady problems, and he immediately came to a conclusion:

“You’re just depressed, lose some weight and you’ll be fine.”

And apparently, that was that. I began to tear up as it became clear he wouldn’t help me with my pain.

“See, if it wasn’t true, you wouldn’t be crying.” And then we were sent on our merry way, but only after paying the bill out of pocket.

To this day, I still resent that he didn’t try to help me in any constructive way, and that he thought all he needed to know was my weight to know the cause of my problems.  

Because, you know, it definitely couldn’t have been stress related from being in high school while attending college full time, working part-time, all my extra-curriculars, while applying for universities and scholarships.

No, I was entirely the product of my weight, and nothing beyond that.
