I was debating whether or not to post this because my body dysmorphia is at an all time high. Even with the obvious transformation I see every little imperfection and flaw. Every single one! It’s just not good enough. My anxiety is at an all time high too and I feel extremely vulnerable posting this. But then I remembered that I’m here to share it all. The good and the bad. It wouldn’t be true to who I am to hide all that I’m feeling from you. I’m hopeful that someday I’ll be able to look at these transformation photos with pride. Today is simply not that day.
So here it is my Day 1 vs. my Day 25. So far I’ve lost 4.6lbs and 4” and I’ve seen a drop in my BMI, Body Fat and Visceral Fat. I’ve done well over 2,250 minutes of workouts, read over 250 pages of an actual book, drank over 3,200 ounces of water and have gone 25 days without added sugar, fast food and alcohol. There has been zero cheating and zero days off.
Only 49 days left as of writing this post and I am in a really good groove. I cant and won’t dwell on the negative thoughts and body image issues floating around in my head. I will not let my body dysmorphia consume me. If I give it even a second more of my time it will take over and unravel everything I’ve worked so hard for. So I’m just gonna leave this post here for all of you in hopes that it inspires someone somewhere. And in hopes that someday I too will be able to look back at this and be proud of myself.
If you’ve made it this far and are still reading this thank you! It’s means a lot to me that you’re here. If this spoke to you in anyway drop your favorite emoji below. Now on to day 26 and beyond!
