Some days I still feel like shit, then I remember this.

geeksexual:

To the anon who’s STILL messaging me about how fat I look.

I’ve been overweight, I wore the same swim suit back then (before I shrunk it up) I know what fat on my legs  and sides looks like, I also know I dont have it anymore so you can give up on trying to make me feel like shit now, it isnt going to happen.
Fuck off. =]

I have no idea when I took the before picture but I found it while cleaning up my hard drive. I’m pretty sure I was sucking in then (like I used to in most pictures back then) and still looked like that.

My bodies not perfect now, but its a lot better than it was and today I feel extremely proud. I still have stretch marks (as you might be able to see in the picture) and I still have a bit of toning up I need to do to get my “ideal” body but I have lost 140+ pounds, I dont really think about that number much but its a huge change. Most days I still feel odd because my body is not exactly how I want it to be yet, I’m not going to feel that way anymore though. I’m turning over a new leaf, I have worked my ass off and come a long way. Stretch marks will fade with time and my skin will tone up as I gain muscle and even if it wouldnt, I did it, I lost the weight and I should feel proud about that.

My self esteem has changed quite a bit, but its still been a battle with me. Not anymore, from this day forward I’m holding my head up high for what I’ve accomplished instead of feeling bad for what I have yet to do. I’m beautiful, I am motivated and I’ve proven that I am stronger than I ever thought I could be, minor faults and all, that doesnt change, what I have done doesnt change.

This is a new Nia, one who is proud, one who will no longer compare herself to any other females with “the perfect body”, they havent gone through the change that I have, their journey is not the same as mine in any way, shape, or form. The new Nia is here to stay.

One more for the collection.

Sowed up my old bathing suit for summer this year.
I’m actually psyched to wear it out in public this summer.

I always hear people say that the last place women lose weight is in their thighs, its not true if you exercise along with a diet. Running and squats will slim down your thighs and legs pretty quickly.

BTW: This is to scale, my thighs used to touch.

Other than a 140lb difference in my body, my style and confidence have gone through quite the change in the past year as well.

Super Weight Revealing Side View Before and After.
Because the other pictures were pretty much head on they never showed how wide I actually got at my top weight.
I used to be super self conscious about this picture but I’m going to post it anyway.
