11 weeks

Jan 02, 2014

Eleven weeks out and 75 lbs lighter. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it feels. I'm finally down a pant, shirt and bra size (yay for new bras!) and I look much better in clothes now. I can see my neck again, my face has more shape. I can see collar bones starting to emerge. And not that I want to be boney, but seeing the fat melt away from my face and neck is so great. I seem to be losing it all over, which has meant my clothing size has changed a lot slower than I thought it would, but I don't have any areas that are out of proportion or haven't lost fat so I will take the slower size difference. 

I'm doing so much more photography than I was even a month ago. I'm not too self conscious about it anymore. I'm booking portrait sessions with families, I even shot a band at a bar which was the biggest step so far. I was able to move around between people without feeling like I was in the way and I didn't mind so much that people were watching me take pictures. And the band was ecstatic with their pictures. 

I'm really lucky that so far I don't have any food intolerances. There are lots of things I haven't tried, like sweets or baked goods, pizza, fried foods - but that stuff isn't even remotely appealing right now. I haven't had any more issues with chicken getting stuck, although I did have some nausea from a hamburger I tried on New Years Eve. It was a brie/apple burger though, so maybe the brie was too much in combination with the burger. I only ate about a quarter of the patty and I was stuffed and felt off. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts, "you're full off just that?!" but I love that this is my new normal. Food isn't my reason for being anymore, it's just what I need to give me energy. I hope that mindset lasts.
