It’s not a huge amount of weight to lose, but it feels like a world of difference. Featuring a different jean jacket because the one in the first photo no longer fits ♥️
I had a clothing swap today. I hold these every six months or so, where friends come over with clothes they want to let go of. For the past couple of years, it's become harder for me to feel good about these. The clothes I was fitting into felt frumpy, and I wasn't excited about anything. I couldn't wear most of my friends' clothes.
Today, I felt like the old days, before the COVID weight that completely changed my body. Outfit after outfit looked great. My options for cute clothes were greatly expanded. I'm currently wearing a pair of jeans in a size three sizes smaller than the ones I gave away for the swap because they were no longer fitting.
I also was able to host the way I like, with cheese and crackers and lots of snacks, and not binge at all. I grazed on the cheese and crackers a bit, had some guacamole and chips, but overall was very moderate in what I had. It was a completely different experience.
I'm feeling very grateful.
I got a little confused with weight entry on Ro, resulting in it looking like I'd lost more weight than I had in one month. It was all due to my confusion about some dates, the fact that I don't own a scale (my mom has an ED) and I lost weight (and quickly gained it back) after being sick for a week. Anyway, they fired me for trying to explain everything in an email, which I guess made me sound a little crazy or like I was lying.
Regardless, I'm hopeful that this turns out to be a blessing in disguise, because Ro was EXPENSIVE! I looked at all your recs and am trying Trillium. It's much cheaper, and I really want to keep this weight loss journey going! Tirzepatide has been like a miracle for me. I spent so long thinking I could lose weight just with exercise and diet, and it's just so amazing to have control over my bingeing.
I kinda wish Ro would have reached out and tried understanding what had happened rather than just dropping me like a hot potato, but wow, looking at the comparison pricing, it's a huge difference!
I had heard a bunch about Jinx (mostly along the "this is some toxic ish!" lines) but while recovering from a cold, I decided to give it a try. I stayed up until 5:00 in the morning reading and ended up spending a bunch of money on Lezhinus to enjoy it without ads, which I had never done. I just can't believe how good the art is, or how into the story I got. It might have been my end-of-flu brain barely functioning, but I'm obsessed with this art and story and happy to have come into the thing before it's done so I can experience it with other fans.
