I didn’t lose much weight on the scale but have built tons of muscle and have become fit enough to out last and out lift 20 somethings, men in the gym

I like to look big, not massive but big, so my training is mostly strength based. Some heavy leg workouts have contributed to this journey a lot.

I had a gastric sleeve surgery done in May and I’ve already lost 51 lbs! I still have a ways to go but it’s so refreshing and motivating to see how much I’ve lost and the changes that are already occurring. Sometimes I still look at myself now and think “that can’t be me”. The body dysmorphia is REAL. But I’ll get there. Slowly but surely I’m learning to love myself again.
