I haven’t worn this dress since I was 16. swipe for a lil throwback of baby phoebe & my day one 🤘🏼
honestly, a very emotional moment. these transformation pictures bring all the shock, but this one in particular hits hard and makes me realize how negatively I viewed my body when I was younger. I was healthy, but viewed myself as if I was extremely obese. body dysmorphia, love her 🥲 compared to now - being decently close to the same weight I was when I was 16 but also seeing firsthand what roughly 130lbs of excess weight looks and feels like on my body, completely humbles me and makes me so thankful for where I’m at and makes me view myself so differently.
16 year old me would be so proud of all we’ve overcome & accomplished over the years. we’re doing well girl 🤍
Most weight loss diets center around portion control, which is just trying to eat smaller amounts of the same addictive foods. This approach inevitably fails.

I met my now husband and he taught me how to cook. I began walking every day just for fun and lost 15kg in like 3 months without realising. I began lifting small weights and doing yoga, learning about my food allergies which I had been ignoring, seeing a dietician to help my disordered eating (over and under eating) and in 2020 I finally managed to get to a stable weight and keep it after years of yoyoing and struggling with multiple eating disorders.
Just find a type of exercise you enjoy, cook home cooked meals and check your portions, eat veggies and drink water. You don't have to starve/eat gross food to lose weight.

wanted to share an almost full-body pic for the first time in probably almost a decade because for once I'm actually proud of how I'm progressing and think that the changes I'm making will end up being permanent bc I'm genuinely enjoying them. Plus, the few selfies I have shared over the last five years have been very photoshopped and at flattering angles, so I feel like most of y'all don't know what I actually look like. So this is me in my children's theater teacher fit last monday!
I'm 17 lbs down from my highest ever weight, but my trainer thinks I'm probably up at least ten to fifteen lbs in muscle. I'm cooking my own food, eating more reasonable portions, and going to the gym at least five times a week because I want to, not because I feel shame or guilt. And now that I'm working as hard as I am, I'm a lot less triggered by looking at new pictures of myself because I know I'm doing my best. I'm still obese, and probably will be for awhile more, but I'm starting to appreciate what I look like and feel like. And hopefully it'll just get better from here!
