My NSV is a very vain one, but bear with me. Sometimes you just need to feel good about yourself, even if it is on a very superficial level.
I’m down 52 pounds in a year ( 29,5 of those last year (Feb-Dec) and 22,5 this year with keto & fasting). Since the very first two weeks of January I started to notice how my skin was improving. And now my cheekbones have definitely started to come out.
This morning I was in the shower, and it was the strangest thing - when washing my face - there was like, so much less of it to wash. I was reaching for my cheeks and there just wasn’t much to reach.
Super odd feeling. Applying makeup (hadn’t done it in a couple of weeks) was a joy, because of the more pronounced cheekbones and hollows under them.
And then… I did the grocery shopping, and went to buy a bottle of red wine. I live in a country where the legal age of drinking is 18, but technically they’re supposed to check your ID if they think you look under 30. I will be 37 next month, and it has been years since the last time I got carded. But, yes, today I got carded. Me happy.
