When I got engaged I was 150 lbs. At the time this didn't bother me, I was teaching body image workshops and was really into this new theory called Health at Every Size by Dr. Linda Bacon whom I had arranged to come give a lecture at the hospital and she preached against scales so in reality I was okay with it because I really had no idea I was 150. I was so caught up in the movement of not being weight conscious that I had allowed myself to put on pounds and not even try a little bit to workout. Once I got engaged and wedding dresses came into play I got serious, especially when I found the perfect vintage dress on Etsy that was made to my ideal measurements, how motivating. I didn't crash diet, I worked hard. I ate clean and vegan, ran 3-5 miles 5 times a week, did yoga 3 times a week and was constantly drinking water. in the 10 months up to my wedding I lost 20 pounds and got down to a nice lean 130. I've gained 8 pounds since the wedding and am on my path to drop most of them by my anniversary and this time by incorporating weight-lifting I can get some definition. Here's to 26.
