As much as I still hate my arms and think they’ve made no progress, I look back at old pictures and realize how much smaller they are now. No wonder my arms never fit in any jackets….
Super random, but I wanted to do a comparison. My friend had a party for her birthday this weekend (jungle themed), and it got me to thinking of the party she had thrown this same time last year (cowboy themed), in the same apartment. I remember going to the thrift store to find a flannel, and nothing would fit. I had to get a guys’ flannel that barely fit (it says size 10 on the tag) - it wouldn’t button, the sleeves were uncomfortable, and I felt like I was busting out of it. But it was the only flannel in the whole store that would fit me.
Now the flannel is too big, and looks a little something like this:
I also just remember feeling uncomfortable the whole night. When I really think about it, I felt uncomfortable my whole life. Notice how I barely fit on the couch with my friend. My purse is hanging awkwardly because the strap wasn’t long enough, so my purse would hang just under my boobs, when it should be at my hips (where it sits comfortably now).
And so here’s a years time. The party size and atmosphere was much different between the two years, but I still felt so much more confident and comfortable this year. The picture from this year is of me and another friend sitting on that exact same couch. Except last year, with two other people sitting on the couch, I barely fit. This year, the couch sat three people comfortably with me on it, the way it was intended.
So even if the scale won’t budge temporarily, it’s still nice to look back and remember the progress I made. That cowboy party honestly doesn’t feel that long ago. I remember posting those pictures on my personal tumblr, and an anon asked if I had gone as a fat cowboy. Well anon, who’s the fat cowboy this year? Haha. I was a snow leopard by the way.
Posting photos of myself like yeah. Procrastinating this essay like yeah. Singing Miley Cyrus like yeah. Yeahhhhhhh it’s going to be a really late night.
Looking through old photos of me on my personal. I can’t believe how chubs my face was. That was then, this is now:
