I just saw a picture of myself from last year, before I gained the weight back. I can't believe I thought I was still fat. Seriously guys, take care of your mental health while losing weight.

I lost 20 pounds last year. At the time, I didn't see a difference at all.

I thought I was just as big as before. I thought I still needed to lose another 30 or 40 pounds. My weight is very evenly distributed, so I didn't lose a pant size or anything. My pants just fit better, which validated the idea in my mind that I didn't really lose that much fat.

But seeing that picture when scrolling through my photos actually made me gasp. I looked like that?! I was that small? It wasn't even a proper full body photo, just the difference in my arms and face were HUGE. It's honestly such a pretty photo of me, and I hated it so much.

I'm so sad for my past self right now. I was so insecure and thought that I'd never look the way I wanted to--when I already did.

On the bright side, it really spurred me to get my ass back into gear. I now realize that I have a lot less weight to lose than I thought I did, and that even in two or three months I'll be able to see a huge difference.
