never in a million years thought i’d be called skinny! all it took was one year of CICO to go from depressed to in control of my life

I started junior year of high school at 160 pounds as a 5’2 girl. Finished high school 125 lbs and 5’3- still not fully to where I want to be, but I helped a lady at work find the plant she wanted yesterday and today I came into work and my coworker said ‘a lady was looking for you, she said a shorter skinny girl with short brown hair helped her, that’s gotta be you right?’

I held it together but I’m so beyond happy. There were so many milestones for me- buying a cute bra for the first time ever, my best guy friend spinning me around like I weighed nothing, going from a size 9 or 10 to a size 4 or 5- but this one might’ve meant the most. I’m so thankful for this sub, it honestly saved me from some major depressive thoughts and brought me to a place where I can swim in front of my friends and just fully enjoy life. I’m going into college happy, healthy, and confident. I had a pretty girl flirt with me for the first time ever. All I did was eat 1,200 calories a day, and I wasn’t even strict about it!!! I never thought it could be that easy!!!! I used to cry at every fitting room in sophomore year and now I love shopping with friends. I got so many compliments at prom while at homecoming I was more focused on finding the least revealing dress ever.

I know I’m kinda ranting but thank you so much to the amazing people on this sub. I was able to run and play with my cousins and the kids at my job so easily. I lifted a few lighter kids above my head, I never would’ve been able to do that this time last year! My acne is gone, my hands look really elegant now, I went down a shoe size. My life is so improved and I’m so ready for the future I’m just gushing right now. I wore a tank top in public on my 18th birthday and that sounds so tiny but really it’s SUCH a huge improvement for me. Just. WOW.

Just ten more pounds to go and I know I can handle anything. No need to worry about the famed ‘freshman fifteen’!!
