Original caption

A year apart. Same spot. Same body. Same lipedema. The biggest difference? I stopped believing that nothing could change. 🤍 I’ve lost overall weight, yes — but I’ve also spent the last year learning how to work with my lipedema body instead of constantly fighting it. And just to be clear: this is without surgery. I’m not sharing this because I think everyone with lipedema should follow exactly what I did. I’m sharing it because I want to be a reminder that change is possible, even when you’ve been told your body can’t change. I’ll keep sharing what worked for me here. If you’re navigating lipedema and want to see what’s possible, follow along. 🫶 #lipedema #lipedemalife #lipedemafighter #lipedemawarrior #lipedemalegs
