Life and weightloss!
8 years ago
I havent made a journal for about 6months, Wow, A LOT has happened in the past 6 months its been a total journey, boy where do I even start..
Work
Last month I once again changed jobs because the hours werent great and it was just progressively getting worse to the point it was beginning to feel like my previous job and I really didn't want another repeat of that.
Now I have a job where they fully respect me, ask my opinions, show me new things and actually offer assistance where needed! No longer on hourly rate but instead have been given a yearly salary which is amazing to be on, and really Ive been here a month already and theres not been a day where I wish I wasnt there.
Personal
Ive had my ups and downs mainly with Anxiety but im getting there, Ive always had issues with it and before I have just let it get to me and basically let it control my life.. But now I have more faith in myself and Im beginning to see what Im really capable of so I'm now starting to fight back!
4 months ago I went to Mexico and it was an amazing trip, met the most amazing people in my life and fought my anxiety to travel to a country on my own for the first time and not really knowing the language very well. I am due to go back again in a few days time to spend more time with them and be there for one of their birthdays! Im very excited to say the least.
Weightloss
In September I decided enough is enough and started dedicating time to going to the gym, my weight has always been an issue but it had got to the point where I really needed to start doing something about it. When I started going to the gym I weighed.. 225 pounds and upon weighing myself recently I am now 180 pounds which is absolutely amazing, I have never been able to achieve such weight loss before, aiming to be around 160 pounds, thats my current goal. I didnt really feel any different with how I looked until I went to a furmeet this weekend and compared it to photos I have from previous meets and wow I have done incredibly well so far..
The only ones I have on my FA are these..
Before: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13336676/
After: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22726883/
In the after shot, that shirt before would never have fit me, you cant tell as well from these the progress but if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you can look through the images ive posted there!
Commissions
I'm still on/off working on commissions and personal art, I am now closed until I come back from Mexico, my current pricelists are outdated but I will update them when I get a chance.
Thanks for your time guys!

Anxiety is awful when it flares up but great to see you overcoming those challenges, not an easy feat for sure. You've taken some drastic yet rewarding steps forward, showing that you can do whatever you put your mind to!
Weight loss isn't easy, especially with all those temptations out there! So well done for keeping at it, I bet you feel so much more energetic and healthier
Sounds like the past 6 months have overall been great!
