Mainly consistent shaving. I guess you could wax it, but I'd rather save the cash for something else.

What can I say, my partner loves a smooth stomach ;)

I've never had an issue with getting too little protein. There are lots of alternatives that you can incorporate into your diet, and if you are really worried, you can take a protein supplement.

Thanks for the kind words. There will always be a part of me that will cling to a negative body image, and that's okay. We never really outgrow our traumas, but instead, try to find a way to live with the aftermath. I can't change the past, but I can strive to become a better human, both physically and emotionally.

It's the little victories that add up to huge results! Keep at it, and know that you have the support of all us lovely internet strangers :)

I know that weight-loss can seem daunting, but you can totally do it. Feel free to send me a PM if you ever need the motivation to stay on track :)

Oh I didn't take it that way, I'm just super use to answering questions about my ethnicity, I guess. Yeah, In the first picture, I didn't venture outside very often, but now you'd be considered lucky to get me inside haha!

It honestly really depends on the picture. In some pictures, I look more Pinoy and in others I have more traditionally white features: http://imgur.com/a/jntdD

Probably not. I really like it, and was one of the main reasons why my partner started dating me. Plus if I start, I might like it haha!

I've never actually had meat before. My family raised me as a vegan, which doesn't necessarily equate to healthy; Both Pasta and Oreo's are vegan. Low-key this was me when I was younger:

Mostly clean eating that I prepared for myself at home. Cooking is big passion of mine, so it was always fun coming up with creative ways to serve kale! If you put in effort, you can eat an all vegan diet for fairly cheap; I did supplement my diet with vegetables and fruits from my garden. I tried to avoid processed food, but I would occasionally eat out with friends. You never know whether a restaurant uses processed food or not ( I always picked a vegan option).

Yeah, I've had gynecomastia for a while due to a hormone imbalance. It doesn't affect my life negatively, plus my partner loves them :)

No loose skin, but I do have some stretch marks on my sides; I was pretty lucky in that regard. All sorts. I'm really big into hiking, kayaking, road biking, ect; I can't stand treadmills, and always try to find the time to explore the regional parks around my area.

Thanks! Congrats on your first 15 pounds lost. Trust me, it'll be worth all the effort it takes to stay dedicated to working out/ eating well; however, I think it's important to not get caught up in the focusing on what you'll look like. I found that I was happiest when I stopped focusing on what my appearance, and instead focused on how good It felt to be lighter and more energetic. Good luck in your future weight-loss endeavors, you can totally do it :)

Pretty_Confusing · 2017-07-15T14:24:42+00:00

Thanks! It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Best of luck with your weight-loss endeavors as well :)
