So I’ve seen (and taken part) in lots of posts that say ‘reblog this if you don’t like one or more things about your body’ I decided to make my own experiment.
Reblog this if you LIKE one or more things about your body, let’s see more body positive posts on tumblr!
I love my body, i’m 210lbs of beautiful and i’m not even sorry.
“Love what is ahead… By loving what has come before. You need to let go of past hurts in order to fully experience the love that is present in every single moment of every day. Don’t let fear of future pain stand in the way of the inexplicable joy of being alive. This joy, this love, is not something you’ll find in a relationship. You won’t find it in material things or anywhere around you. Stop looking to the outside world for things that are in fact available to you right here, right now! Look inside. You’re beautiful. Life is beautiful. Don’t hold back. Set yourself free.”

I keep seeing too many people complain about having big thighs and being fat or skinny so I made these!
Encouraging Zangief!
Just cycling. What happened to my leg? I look like a triangle.
Stressful day tomorrow, i’m going to bed now and getting a solid 12 hours. Goodnight!
Went out for dinner for my Dad’s birthday. I’ve eaten out 3 nights in a row. grr.
I chose salt and pepper tofu for starter, and boiled rice, garlic broccoli and shredded beef for my main course, so hopefully it wasn’t too bad.
Gonna have a well good day tomorrow, i’ve already planned my food.
Breakfast: Banana
Lunch: Porridge made up with water and almond milk (HeB + 1/2 HeA)
Snacks: “Skinny Popcorn” - 7 syns (While I watch Les Mis agaaaaaain)
Dinner: Veg Stir Fry
Dessert - Yoo Moo Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt - 7 syns
Total - 14 syns.
In today’s video, I talk about what excess skin is like, and I show the excess skin on my body 3 years after gastric bypass RNY surgery. Excess skin like this usually only happens after rapid massive weight loss, so don’t panic that you’ll get this after dropping 20lbs.
This video is not meant to debate the merits of gastric bypass. It’s not meant to be a plea for cash or pity. It is simply to show what I live with everyday. I get a lot of questions about it. A lot of staring and looks of disgust, too. But this is my body. And until I can save up ~$30,000 for the series of reconstructive surgeries this requires (very difficult while unemployed and paying off student loans), this is the body I have to live with. Insurance will not cover this for 99.9% of patients.
If you have any further questions, my ask box is open. (Sorry this video is so rushed. Tumblr has a 5 minute time limit, and I’m not putting this on another site.)
Happy birthday to me! Bumping to remind myself how far I’ve come. Maybe this year I’ll be able to start my surgeries. I’m 10% of the way there in my savings.
This is my “why the fuck aren’t I skinny yet?” face.
Post-workout.
Super tempted.
Last night, the kitchen table was full of cheesecake, toffee pavlova, profiteroles, flapjack, pizza, etc.. I stuck to a simple tomato pasta bake and a side salad.
Tonight, my family just suggested that we go to the pub for a meal!
I don’t think so.
Very, very tired and hungry. I’ve had a syn free day today, can you believe!?
I’m making chicken tikka pieces and slimming world chips with salad for dinner, all free too.
Phew, hello willpower, where have you been all my life?
(I’m still definitely sulking though, I WANT A PIZZA!)
I know this feeling and face so well ‘sisters in arms’! The pizza will taste better when we’re skinny and and we have worked for it!!!
Omg! Haha, this is fantastic. Look at how much motivation I used to have :’)
