00:00You can see in this photo I am not comfortable. I didn't want my photo taken. I hate being in photos
00:06unless I'm taking them. And you can see I'm just uncomfortable, unhappy, chonky. I'm not who I want
00:16to be. Who I want to be is the version I was in 2020, just with better eating practices.
00:24And if I can achieve that and look like this again, well, eating a balanced diet,
00:31eating junk food sometimes, I still do. But my body is now working in a way that it couldn't
00:37do by itself. That's why I resorted to such extreme measures. When you are going to the
00:41gym for hours a day and eating next to nothing and getting no results, you get desperate.
00:49And it isn't my fault for the medical conditions I have. So it isn't right to shame someone
00:58for using something to better themselves and level the playing field. Because trust me,
01:04if I could do this and not need to use the things I am, I would, but I can't.
01:11My son was born in August. I didn't start these medications until March. I had dieted that entire
01:17time and my weight had only increased. So I'm hoping that by sharing this and letting you guys
01:28see where I started and where I'm currently at and where I hope I'm going and where I've been in the
01:33past, you will understand why these medications are a lifesaver to people like me. And I can't
01:41wait for the next few months to see where I get to. And I'm hoping by my son's first birthday,
01:46I can be somewhat resembling who I was before. Now I do want to add a disclaimer that I am not
01:53saying people who have my current body shouldn't want it. What I'm saying is I don't want it.
02:00I feel like the best version of myself when I'm 180 pounds, which is still overweight and I still
02:06don't care because that's how I felt comfortable. And that's where I'm hoping to get to. So I've
02:10still got a while to go. This jump has been in storage, like, you know, we've been moving. I
02:14have literally just got this back in the last couple of days and I just threw it on this morning
02:19and thought, oh my goodness, like you can see, you can see the gut sticking out the bottom.
02:29You can see the size of my legs, my hair also a lot shorter. So, um, side note,
02:33majority does not make your hair fall out as long as you look after it.
