• My weight fluctuated almost 2lbs from yesterday to today. Is it because I had pickles yesterday? A part of me thinks so. A part of me is just pissed off. I need to start going to the gym. The slower loss is just not where it's at.
• On the other hand, it's okay. I am seeing changes. Other people see changes. I am sleeping better. I feel good. I just have to accept that a slow loss is more sustainable than a fast lost.
• It doesn't mean I like it though.

• I still haven't gotten my medicine in the mail. FedEx—specifically the driver, Justin—has failed me. Today will be 2 days late. That's if I get it. Let's see if Geoffrey fails me as well.
• Apparently I'm discouraged. BUT I am stil...

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)
