For those who remember me, I wanted to give an update and check in with you wonderful ladies. Thus far I have been maintaining for several months now - sincerely blessed to be able to say I can do that! I only have a few more pounds I want to lose, but I wanted to update that it's been ONE YEAR since I started seriously losing weight. So much has occurred over the past year. It's been an emotional journey. I am so very blessed to have the support system I do - plus have this website as a reference of encouragement and knowledge.
Here are some updated images and things that have occurred:
I got a kitty named James Bond. He's the most loving and sweetest!
It didn't take a year for me to notice this change, but wow!
I finally achieved a dream goal of mine and cosplayed at Blizzcon!
I caught myself quite the catch a few months back. He's very supportive and impressed by my progress. I'm a lucky lady!
I will say that none of this was made possible BECAUSE of weight loss, but because I finally loved myself enough to see I was worthy of love, happiness, and adventure.
Keep going ladies, because next year you'll never know where you'll end up!
