• F and I went to paint pottery again today and pick up our last projects. I did the cutest little mug with lavender sprigs on it. I cannot wait to get it back next week. I look forward to this every week. We had the best time.

• I'm at 337.8 today. I'm excited. I wonder if I was holding on to a lot of fluid because of exercising. *shrug* I haven't been to the gym in like a week and I haven't gained anything. I'm sitting in the office and typing away on my computer. Work feels like a lot today and I'm looking forward to being done. Feeling quite hungry today as well which is crazy since I took 7.5mg of tirzepatide yesterday. I should be good to go. Actually, it might be working because thinking about it, I had no...

  • 22 minutes treadmill (18.5min / km; slow pace)
    • I was just getting over the flu and this walk kicked my ass. It was my first time at the gym in about 4 years. Crazy.
• Thursday, March 27, 2025
  • 30 minutes treadmill (15min / km; leisurely pace)
    • I was so relieved. Seriously, after Monday I thought I was in way worse shape than I am. But "leisurely pace"? BS.

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 am wearing a ring. I never wear rings since I have quite fat fingers but I guess I can wear a 9 on my ring finger.
• A client didn't recognize me today. She said I looked different and good.

• K & C 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. Okay, it's not exactly a NSV but I wanted to start a list and I haven't had much of one yet. I want to be able to look back...

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.

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.

Changes I am making:

• More Protein
  • I am working to get up to 125g of protein each day. I have not succeeded thus far in making this goal everyday. I am going to be looking into more meals or snacks to boost that.

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 love dresses. I currently wear a 26/28 and the options are...dismal and I don't want to look like I should be playing bingo with the gals at the nursing home (I'm 35). Also, why do they not have sleeves? I have fat arms, I can't just be flailing those things about.

I can't wait to be able to really shop for dresses I love. Here are my favorites:

• Vaeda Midi Dress from Baltic Born
  • I love the olive and cream colors.
• Margaux Sweater Dress from Baltic Born
  • Definitely in the cream. Black is okay but I just don't care for it here.

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.)

315lb

• I am so close to being out of the 300s. I want to reward myself with something that makes me feel good.
  • Reward: Haircut & Waxing!

300lb
