Started making changes at 27, now I'm 30 and I always need to look back to remember where I started to not lose hope. Weight is about the same in both pictures. Oh and I have Marfan's Syndrome in case you were wondering
I've gained 20 lb in the last year. It's not sustainable to rely on your "conventionally attractive" parts for confidence bc our bodies change constantly. It's a lesson I keep relearning.
