I Can’t fully express how grateful I am to finally feel comfortable in my body again. I haven’t been this smaller size in 20 years and I’m so happy that I started taking this medication. The first two larger photos of me popped up on Facebook earlier this week and I could not believe how big I was without even realizing it. I never want to go back to that size and I’m so so proud of myself for putting in the hard work every day and taking this medication. 🎉🎉 The body dysmorphia struggle is still real and I now have a clothes shopping addiction but I’ll take that any day over being morbidly obese 🥹🥹

The first two photos popped up in my Facebook “memories” and I was shocked by how big I was before without even realizing it 😭😭😭 the body I’m in today after thankfully losing 115 pounds in 18 months is how I thought I looked before! And now I sometimes still feel like I’m in the larger body again. Talk about body dysmorphia! Trying to love my body at every stage! And now I have a clothes shopping addiction ha ha

So so so grateful! I feel like myself again and finally confident after feeling so uncomfortable in my body for way too long without fully realizing how big I had gotten. Zepbound and hard work is a literal life saver 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 so happy now 🥰🥰 I’m shocked to see how puffy and inflamed my face was before. I usually used Snapchat filters to make my face look slimmer and less puffy and now I wear minimal make up and feel so much more confident in my clothes. I went from a 2XL/22 to Medium/12. I hope to lose 10-16 more pounds but I’m honestly really happy where I’m at which feels fab!

I felt soooo empowered on this trip which was incredible!! Bikini, and crop tops, what?! I never would have thought I could wear those less than 2 years ago! I was admittedly nervous to go clothes shopping in Greece because I’m so used to being in a larger body, but it felt absolutely empowering to buy whatever I wanted on this trip as I fit into all of it! From a size 22 to 12!! And 2XL to medium! I even bought baggy linen clothes (because it was hot AF I’m Greece) which I never would’ve done before because, in the past, they would’ve made me look so much bigger but now that I’m in a smaller body, the larger linen pants make me look normal sized. The feeling is incredible and I’m so damn proud of Myself. 🥰🥰🥰 I had one episode of vomiting on the trip and one bathroom episode which I think was due to indulging in too much sugar and then red sauce spaghetti (which seems to be a trigger for me on these meds) but otherwise I felt great!!! Take the meds, do the trip, feel the best you can feel! We all deserve it 🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉

I haven’t felt this good in my body in 20 years! It feels so good to be back to myself and confident again 🥰🥰🥰
