I almost started bawling when I put this together.
The before pic was taken around April of last year. I packed on like 70ish pounds in just a few years because of autoimmune BS and hormone issues. I was so grossed out by myself, felt awful all the time, hated that none of my clothes fit, and just felt totally hopeless. Seriously, just freaking done. I'm usually super active, but I couldn't even get through a simple workout. Felt completely broken.
I had a full hysterectomy like a month later in May '24, and instantly dropped a size. Then I had a bad concussion in late summer. Started getting back into working out around September '24. I managed to lose maybe 15 lbs and then I completely plateaued. So I finally started semaglutide in January of this year.
And this week, my old pants fit! Zipped up without any struggle. I actually cried. No crazy diets, no starving, no mental torture. No pushing myself too hard or depriving myself. My body just went back to normal, and I'm finally feeling healthy and strong again.
