Popsugar Health & Fitness Then And Now Screw the Scale Transformations These Before-and-After Photos Prove How Useless the Scales Can Be When You're Slimming Down 24 June 2018 by Jenny Sugar View On One Page Photo 24 of 25 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow Getting heavier and stronger by the week 💪😍 I never thought I would be this accepting of myself. I honestly thought 'self love' was a mythical concept people dreamt up that wasn't actually real. Especially for someone like me 😔. What I mean by that, is someone who used to live on veggie soup during my school years to keep the scale below 50kg. Who used to run on the spot in my bedroom till I got knee splints and would pass out from exhaustion to 'work off' the bite of muffin I may of had. Who smoked ice for 5 years determined to avoid food at all costs and who later injected heroin for relief from my crazy abusive thoughts that just criticised me from the moment I opened my eyes, till I laid down each night. Weight gain has been excruciating at times, don't get me wrong. This hasn't been 'easy'. But I have a long term goal, and I'm doing whatever it takes to get there. Blood, sweat and tears. Right now though, in this day. I have self love and self compassion and it really is a beautiful thing 🦄🙏 One day at a time ❤️😘 A post shared by Fenella Scarlett McCall (@fitfenji) on Jun 20, 2017 at 3:50am PDT Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 24 Previous Next Start Slideshow Then And NowBefore And After Weight LossWeight Loss
