Today I was told that my cappuccino was better than any of the one’s this older italian woman has ever had in Italy.
I legitimately thought I was going to cry when she told me this. I was so proud of how far I’ve come as a barista and how much I love this industry and the cultures that are involved.
She asked me where I learned to make my cappuccinos. Thank you so much Jay Caragay and Bonnie Hohman, you two have been the biggest and most respected barista mentors in my life. I’m so grateful to have worked under someone who has such a huge influence and part in the barista community (Jay).
Ugh, that seriously made my day.
Weight loss is a weird thing, because when your goal weight is far away you have this model mentality about being skinny, and then once you get there, you’ve still got the same body type you had before, its just…smaller.
The further I get from the biggest I was, its harder to remember how far I’ve come, and therefore easier to get discouraged about my shape, if that makes any sense. Not to say I don’t think I’m a total babe at least like, 95% of the time, but occasionally I fall victim to the constant onslaught of images of tiny tiny women that we’re all subjected to daily.
Maintenance is a weird place to be in, because even though I could go down a bit, and could tone up a bit (and am hoping to do so) not much is going to change from here as far as overall size and shape goes. Which is weird and hard to wrap my brain around. It’s not always the easiest to feel 100% okay with being on the curvier end of healthy.
I’ve spent this morning looking at old photos of myself, there arent a ton of me at my biggest (because I was the saddest ever and avoided cameras like the plague) but I scrounged up some before and after pictures, and I’m gonna post em here, because I think its good to remind myself of where I’ve been, and how far I’ve come, especially on days where I’m feeling a bit discouraged. Because at the end of the day, I’m healthier and happier than ever, and a few photos of skinny ladies on tumblr shouldnt take that away from me.
This woman is so strong and beautiful in every way, shape AND form.
She’s such an inspiration.
Seeing these photos makes me want to strive even harder to get to a place that makes me content and happy with how I look.

What’s not to like?
I would rock the hell out of my sports bra at the gym if I had her body.
I wish I could find a doctor or trainer of some sort who could take a look at my body and give me a “guestimate” of what I could achieve in the long run. I have large ribs and a shorter torso than most. Plus I’m really short so my body weight is distributed quite differently than some people. Hmf.
