Introduction

The weight loss journey is a long and challenging process. One Reddit user, throwawayxxchromoso, shares her experience in reaching her weight loss goal. In just 2 months, she was able to lose 20 lbs. But despite her progress, she is struggling to see any difference.

The Progress

While the user struggles to recognize any difference, the comments on the Reddit post prove otherwise. From the side view, we see a significant reduction in the midsection, especially on the upper back above the bra area. The user's posture also improved as shown by the before and after photos.

The Struggle

For years, throwawayxxchromoso suffered from the effects of her medication, specifically her anti-depressants and birth control, which caused her to gain weight. She also had a history of an eating disorder that made weight loss difficult. However, when she switched medication, she was able to lose weight effortlessly. Despite the progress, the user is still struggling to recognize any difference.

Small Victories

The Reddit thread shows that recognizing small changes is crucial in keeping oneself motivated. Sometimes, it's the small things that lead to significant progress. Like the user's collarbone area and improved posture, small changes should be celebrated.

Conclusion

Throwawayxxchromoso's progress shows that with patience and consistency, weight loss is achievable. The journey may be challenging, but it's essential to recognize small victories and celebrate them. To those who are struggling with their journey, take a page from throwawayxxchromoso's book and stay patient, consistent, and most importantly, be kind to yourself.
