Seeing the Progress: A Personal Weight Loss Journey

I just want to give myself a little praise today. It’s crazy how big of a difference you can be making and not even notice it. I know the scale shows me 35lbs down, but to look at the photo on the left from March versus the photos I just took at the rest stop about an hour ago… it’s truly mind-blowing.

Seeing the numbers on the scale is one thing, but actually seeing the transformation in photos is a whole different experience. It’s hard to notice the changes day by day because you see yourself all the time, but those progress photos tell the real story.

I remember feeling so discouraged some days, thinking I wasn't making any progress at all. But now, comparing those pictures, I can see how far I’ve come. It’s a reminder that even when it feels like nothing is happening, your body is still changing and responding to your efforts.

So, just keep going, even if you don’t think you’re making progress, because I promise you, you are. It’s the little steps every day that add up to big results. Celebrate the small victories, like making healthier choices, sticking to your workouts, and just not giving up.

Looking at these photos side by side is the proof I needed to see that my hard work is paying off. It’s a journey, and it’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it. If you’re on this journey too, keep pushing forward. Trust the process, and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re doing amazing things, even if you can’t see it yet. Keep going, because you are making progress!
