20 MONTHS AGO vs NOW 🥹❤️

20 months ago, I was:
• 16 stone 8lbs heavier
• Struggling with my mental health
• Isolating myself from the world
• Lacking confidence in myself
• Feeling like I had no direction in life
• Hiding away rather than living my life

Now, 20 months later:
• 8 stone lighter 🫶🏼
• In such a happier place mentally
• So much more confident in myself
• No longer isolating myself from the world
• Putting myself out there and posting willingly
• Actually living my life instead of hiding from it 🥹❤️

Honestly, it’s absolutely CRAZY how much things can change in 20 months. 🥹 It’s not just the physical transformation, it’s the mental transformation that means the most to me. The confidence I’ve gained, the happiness I feel, and the person I’m becoming are things I never thought I’d be able to say.

I’m not the same person I was 20 months ago, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far I’ve come. This journey has changed so much more than my appearance. It’s given me a life where I feel happier, more confident, and more comfortable being ME.

8 stone down, but so much more gained. ❤️✨

And if you’re at the beginning of your journey, please remember that things really can change. Keep going, even when you can’t see it yet. 🫶🏼
