So a short update on my life, though I assume some already know. My long-distance relationship, in which we became engaged, recently ended. It was really tough on me for a multitude of reasons. In fact, I pretty much considered myself to hit "rock bottom" at one point.
But then I decided to focus on myself, and on things I can affect. So I started working hard on school, going to the gym daily with a friend, and changed my diet. I cut out all soft drinks and pretty much solely drink water. I also try to only eat healthy meats like turkey, ham, fish etc., and only have whole wheat breads etc. I also added a B12 vitamin supplement to help with energy.
The result is that I feel *fantastic*. I've never felt better, I've lost about 15 pounds in a few weeks, and my confidence is through the rough. I honestly notice people talking to me more, and I don't shy away like I used to. Plus, I can fit in pants and shirts that I'd long since been unable to, and my belt is now a bit too large for me after moving it a couple notches already!
And I even had some time to reflect on my last relationship and notice things I didn't before. Because my ex is a GAFer, I'll refrain from giving details. But with the help of some friends with both more experience than me and an external view on the situation, I was able to see why it broke down and wasn't working. Now I know what to look for.
I've had a few coffees with some cuties just to put myself out there, but I just don't think I'm ready for it yet. Besides the fact that I'm still in "recovery" despite feeling amazing about myself, I just don't think I want to dedicate the time right now to starting a new relationship when I've already got a lot on my plate with school.
Oh! I've also started getting back into photography. I update my Instagram daily now. For those interested:
