From size 18 to a 12! Haven’t been this size since high school!

So four the last six months or so I’ve been sticking to CICO. Very little exercise since both of my jobs keep me on my feet and active. For the longest time I felt like I wasn’t doing enough. For a few weeks id be at about 1500 calories. Then getting frustrated with no result is cut back to 1200 which just wasn’t sustainable so I’d eventually binge. Then hate myself. Then start all over. I really felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere at all.

Then about a month ago one of my coworkers commented on my weight... in a good way. He told me I looked thin, that my face and body both looked good. I didn’t think a whole lot of it, honestly. Just figured he was seeing me without glasses for the first time in a while. But then I went shopping with my sister for the first time in months. I tried on a pair of jeans in the size I normally wear and they were HUGE. (The last few month have mainly been yoga pants or sweats lol). Tried the next size down, too big, finally another size down and they fit like a glove!

Now, finally wearing clothes that fit me, I’ve noticed just how big my other clothes were on me! And compliments are coming out of the woodwork. I just went shopping with my friend and the whole time she kept commenting on how good I look! And now I’m small enough to shop in regular stores and not plus size places. My wallet is hurting but dammit I’m so happy! Here’s to the next six months of hard work!
