True story...I'm really bad at keeping up with this blogging thing. It's not that I don't want to, I just never know what to say. So I deleted all of the old posts and decided to start fresh. Sounds logical right?
What to say, what to say... Ok, how about I start by talking about me? At least that's something I know a little about.
1. I'm Kristen.
2. I'm 29 and not so sure how I feel about turning 30 this summer.
3. I teach middle school, which is probably why I feel like I'm going crazy at times.
4. I've lost 90 pounds thus far with Weight Watchers...I guess I know a little about that as well.
5. I have a really hard time seeing myself as 90 pounds thinner. More on that later?
6. I'm siiiiiingle. What's up boys?
7. I have a fear of dating, which makes #6 laughable.
8. Apparently I'm not that great at talking about myself because I've run out of things to say.
About this whole "seeing myself thinner" thing...anyone else have this issue? For years and years I was morbidly obese. I remember wanting so desperately to fit into clothes at certain stores and couldn't...even at Target! Seriously. What's even worse is that now, even after losing all this weight, I still have a fear of going into a dressing room and the clothes not fitting. Even though I know all the clothes in my closet are a size 6, I still see that girl who wears a size 18 or 20 in the mirror. It just doesn't click. And if I'm being real honest, when I look in the mirror, I still see the same amount of stomach fat as always.
I know this is something I have to work through and I'm so thankful for my Instagram friends and their unwavering support. I literally blush when someone says I look thin because I've never thought of myself as a thin person. So if any of you are reading this -- <3 p="">
And if you're not my IG friend, what's wrong with you?! Just kidding -- follow me @krisnichgill -- and you can see what I ate for breakfast. No seriously, I'm one of those annoying people. You've been warned.
I totally get it girl! Just the other day I purchased a skirt from H&M and when I got home and tried it on I realized I needed a smaller size. It's been four years since I've been at my heaviest and it still happens to me. It'll take some time to adjust. But soak in all the comments! We're not lying when we say you look skinny!!!
ReplyDeleteI am an instagram friend -- or at least an instagram follower :) But I also teach middle school (us crazies have to stick together), just turned 30 last summer, and am a weight watcher -- down 15 pounds so far.
ReplyDeleteI am loving following you on instagram and am so excited to see you blogging -- you have at least one follower! :)
