Wow! It's only taken fairly recently to finally realise how much weight I've lost since my beginning journey of Instagram. I have been getting a lot of compliments these last few months from family and friends who haven't seen me in a while, mentioning about how much weight I've lost and how great I look. And you know what? It feels great. My head has been so focused these last few months with work and building myself up again from a long period of dealing with mental health, that I haven't even realized and stop to look at myself to finally feel proud of myself because of the weight lose. Since the compliments, I started looking through really old pictures of mine on here and Im just so shocked to see how much bigger I was back then compared to now, as though I'm now looking through a completely new pair of eyes and seeing everything clearly for the first time. I never knew back then that I was actually considered as "chubby" until I recently looked at my old pictures. I'm just so shocked but happy I finally managed to lose that weight after trying (at that time) for three years and the main reason for why I gained so much weight back then? Was simply because of the anti-depressants I was on at the time which causes extreme weight gain which now I can see. Now I'm thriving, happier about my body and now trying to build myself back up again from a rough patch of dealing with mental health. So just remember, like me at the time hating my body size and giving up trying to lose the weight because I never knew how to and thought it wasn't going to be possible, take my experience as proof that there's always hope in the end, you just got to be patient and things WILL look up for you even if it doesn't seem possible now!
