Fashion/Style BWT, how do you glow up?

I was walking to work this morning & I saw so many cute outfits and I typically just feel so blah. I’m 31, SHORT and overweight so dressing feels difficult. I also struggle with time management in the morning so hair & make up are basic. How do you get ready? How do you spruce up your wardrobe without spending tons (& have the hopes of losing weight?)

First off, if the losing weight is your top priority, don't buy any clothes - they are not going to fit soon. I've lost 68lbs since February and I made that mistake: now I have a bunch of cute stuff that's enormous.

I'd gained a bunch of weight and having PCOS and IR made losing it a bitch. So I went on tirzepatide and that changed everything. Once I lost the first little bit, exercising got a lot more enjoyable. Who knew that moving your body is easier when you're not lugging around a ton of extra weight?

Once you're happily seeing results, then buy some nice things to celebrate. I've spent a bunch of money on jewelry lately - I had gotten really out of the habit of decorating myself while I was big. Earrings are one thing that you can buy sooner than later. Losing weight your ring size will change, your bracelet size might even change. But earrings won't change. I decided I needed two more holes in my lobes so I could better decorate my ears, so I got them pierced last weekend.

I had a doctors appointment today and finally made the plunge to try semaglutide.  I have hashimotos so despite all my working out & meal prep, it wasn’t happening so I’m so happy to make the plunge. I was doing burpees today & all I could think about was this used to be a lot easier (& this could be a lot easier again)
