Trying to lose myself: A Vegan Weight Loss Journey!











{January 30, 2010}   Measurements

Back around the beginning of this blog I did a measurements post. I was my dreaded 254. When I did the measurements I followed a chart, but I was measuring too tight. This time I did it correctly. So yes, the numbers are a bit larger on most but I wasn’t squeezing the tape really tight. I’ve also included a few old front/side photos of myself. I’m sorry if the forwardness of these photos upsets people, I feel its important to show the fat, not hide it. I’ve also included two new photos taken tonight. I tried REALLY hard to tell the differences but from the different camera angles it’s almost impossible. However my legs/arms look slimmer in the new photos, even if the measurements lie. I also noticed my neck area looks slimmer. On the front shot my stomach looks flatter and doesn’t “pouf” in the middle. And yes, the socks are comfortable, they were Xmas gifts from my sister-in-law.
