• I picked up my bicycle yesterday! She's lovely. I can't wait to go for a ride. I haven't had a chance to just yet but I'm so excited to. I'm definitely going to take at least one ride this weekend. I'm thinking just going down on the road that I live on (I'm out in the country) and riding there might be the best idea.
• I'm also down in weight. I'm not sure why but I'm not complaining. Actually, I do know why now that I thought about it. I started that medicine from the new company and holy shit is it strong. I'm consistently nauseous now. Not like, I'm going to be sick kind of nauseous but my stomach is like, "I'd hesitate to have anything right now." I'm getting full really quickly. I'm not complaining. This is how it was when I first started the medicine so I'm not sure if it's just a different maker...

Non-Scale Victories (NSV) are the little things that you notice that make it worth it and show you that a difference is being made. It can be with how you feel, your health, old clothes fitting, etc.

• I stopped by Lane Bryant today just to see if they had any tops that I might like. They did, 4. I bought a 22/24 in all of them. Y'all. Did you know that Lane Bryant is known to run small? And I basically just went down a full size comfortably. I really thought I was still a 26/28. I picked up that size first. It was way too big. I'm so glad. I can't wait to have even more options! There were a few tops that I couldn't find in anything larger than an 18 or 20. I'm nearly there already.

Did they notice my weight loss? Yeah, they did!

Here's when:

• K & C at work commented that I looked different. Then C asked if I had lost weight and I told her I had. K asked how much I'd lost. I told them 20lbs. They were so happy for me. It's nice when people are rooting for you.

• A client didn't recognize me today. She said I looked different and good. She was impressed.

• Dad said, "Now today I can tell you're losing weight." He was the first to notice but then he also noticed there wasn't much of a change for a while there.

Quotes from 'skinnytok' that stick with me:

• "eat small, be small / eat big, be big"
• "Just because there's a certain time on the clock doesn't mean it's time to eat."
• "Why is food the most important part of your day?"
• "Hungry to bed, hungry to rise, makes a girl a smaller size."
• "To waste, or to the waist?"
• "Being hungry isn't an emergency."
• "You are not a dog, why are you rewarding yourself with food?"
• "What you eat in private you wear in public."
• "You don’t need a cheat day, you’ve been living a cheat life!"
• "Stop choosing comfort over commitment."
• "No time to workout? Check your screen time."

Here's how my weight is going. Please note that I weigh myself first thing in the morning after peeing. For the sake of record keeping ☆ will indicate I was menstruating. On days that I took my tirzepatide 💉 will be used.

I have started a weight loss journey on Monday, March 3, 2025 at 360lb exactly. Then on Monday, March 10, 2025, I added a compound tirzepatide thanks to my doctor. I was weighing in at a whopping 355.6lb.

Why am I making these changes?

• I want to feel pretty.
  • I'm stoked to see how my face card upgrades.
• I want to find nice clothes and look good.
  • I honestly cannot wait to be able to walk into a store and not have to go to the hidden little rack in the back for the fat girls and most of that not even fitting.
• I want my health to be better than it ever has been.
• I want to move freely in / with my body.

I've decided to create some goals and rewards for myself. I'm starting this list at 339.4lb so there will not be any retroactive rewards.

🗹 330lb

• This is where I tend to give up and I am not doing that this time. I refuse to give up. This one is a big one for me. It will be 30lbs lost.
  • Reward: New Bag! (Honestly, I already ordered it and I should be below 330lb by the time it gets here.)
• It took me about a week longer to get here than I thought it would but I did it!

🗹 315lb

• I am so close to being out of the 300s! This is my 25% goal. I want to reward myself with something that makes me feel good.

I am aiming for a more elevated casual look but I don't want to age myself. I'm trying to decide what style I want to wear.

I feel very comfortable in nice flats, well fitting leggings, and a nice top or even just a well fitting tshirt. I am a millenial after all!

I also like to wear nice jewelry and if I can find a good bag, I'll take it!

Brands recommended to me:

• Eileen Fisher
• Quince (iffy on this one)
• Universal Standard

My Goal:

• Elevated Casual
• Capsule Wardrobe
• Flexible Color Choices (my favorites right now are light olive green, navy, and white, with some black sometimes)
