My weight's always bounced around a lot, anywhere from roughly 115 to 176 pounds over the years. Even at my thinnest, my cheeks always stayed noticeably full. This time though, the shift showing up in my mirror lately has been dramatic. Whether that's age, how fast the weight came off, years of cycling up and down, or something else entirely, honestly no idea. This is genuinely new territory for me, and it's hard to sit with, considering that fuller, wider face shape always felt like something that set me apart.
