| If you are gonna overeat. Do it right. And here is how. Posted: 09 Dec 2020 08:41 AM PST You know those days when you just know you will overeat or go over your calorie budget? Today is mine. And I realized what I hate in my food behavior. The sneaking around. Binging in the dark kitchen with the fridge light. And today I was hungry all day. And now I realized that I will definitely go beyond that chocolate that I ate. And probably eat around 2,800 calories. (Just to be clear this is for the entire day) So here is what I did. Went into the kitchen. Turned all the light on. And decided to at least enjoy cooking what I was gonna eat without guilt. I took some bell pepper, some cheese, some pita bread and barbecue sauce... And decided I wanted to make a mini pizza with veggies on the side. I enjoyed cooking it. And now will enjoy eating it. At least I am beating my sneaky behavior And I feel like this is a healthier approach to those types of urges. [link] [comments] |
| You know the face gains are real when you have to re-do your iPhone’s Face ID Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:28 PM PST For the past month I've been noticing that my phone's Face ID is really finicky and won't let me unlock my phone half the time. Yesterday I was sitting in a well-lit room with my phone straight in front of my face and it still wouldn't work. My first thought was that I somehow messed up my phone and would have to resort to using a passcode from now on, until I remembered that my face has changed a ton this past year. Since January, I've lost almost 70lbs (225lbs -> 158lbs) and had serious face gains. I re-programmed my Face ID last night and now it works like a charm! Thought this was a pretty cool but unorthodox weight loss milestone and wanted to share with you guys :) [link] [comments] |
| After 7 years, I’m officially in onederland! Posted: 09 Dec 2020 05:45 AM PST I'm excited to share with other people that I've finally hit onederland! I've been waiting for a few days to share because I wanted to make sure it was for real, and so far every day this week I have weighed under 200 pounds for the first time since at least 2013! Starting weight: 240 Highest weight: 260 Current weight: 198.6 I'm very tall for a woman, so my goal weight is 170-180 pounds Editing to add my weight loss journey chart also adding that the app pictured in the screenshot here is called Happy Scale for iPhones, from what I read online the Android equivalent is Libra! For the past 7 years I've been gaining and losing weight repeatedly. My strategy was always the same - CICO (eat at a caloric deficit) and work out almost every day (HIIT, weightlifting, cardio). I always fell off the wagon. I began my weight loss all over again in January 2020 but this time I was only focusing on my diet. I forgot about exercise and just focused on eating healthier meals and smaller portions. My only exercise was going for walks around my neighborhood. The progress was slow at first and the temptation to get back in a gym and go hard with the HIIT and weight training was real. Then covid struck and gyms closed - which I think for my weight loss journey was a blessing in disguise. I continued focusing on my diet and walking each morning and evening. And the weight loss was slow and steady - about 1 pound per week. What I noticed this time around is that my appetite has been exponentially easier to manage, and I attribute it to the fact that I'm not working out intensely. About 8 weeks ago I started HIIT and weightlifting at the local gym again and I noticed an immediate change in my appetite - I was SO hungry all day during the days I worked out and my weight loss progress came to a halt. 2 weeks ago I decided to dial back the workouts again and only go to the gym once per week, and just walk the other 6 days. My appetite has been much easier to manage and I'm back to losing weight at a steady pace again! [link] [comments] |
| NSV: I'm getting carded again! Posted: 09 Dec 2020 04:30 PM PST 25F 5'7" SW:260, CW: 192. I'm in the US so drinking age is 21. The title says it all. I remember being disappointed that I wasn't carded on my 21st birthday. I thought I just looked older. By the time I was 23 and started on my health journey, I was basically never carded. Well, I've noticed that I'm getting carded a bit more at stores, but I always thought grocery stores carded a lot and I don't exactly go out to bars anymore in COVID times. But then this happened a few days ago. I was traveling for the holidays (yes being careful yes social distancing) and the hotel I was staying at was offering free booze to guests over 21 (in to-go cups for you to drink in your room). After a long day of driving, some wine sounded nice, but I'd left my wallet in my room, so I decided to just ask before running upstairs to get it. Again, I'm very used to not getting carded. Not only was I carded, but when I came down with my wallet, the person working the bar was surprised to learn I was 25 like I'd said. "You look so young. I thought you were a lying teenager. You really need to keep this on you." Part of this might have been the mask covering most of my face, but I was still shocked and flattered. I knew my face had changed with the weight loss, but I didn't think I'd lost 5+years in appearance! I guess I'll be more careful to have my ID from now on. [link] [comments] |
| 70lbs down in 8 months! 37M SW 336/ CW265 Posted: 09 Dec 2020 12:47 PM PST Progress pic at the bottom April 8th was the day I started using Noom and counting calories. Ive been heavy for over a decade and I decided if I couldn't lose weight while stuck at home, it was never gonna happen. My daily calories usually hover between 1500-1800 a day with protein shakes and protein bars as supplemental snacks. 16:8 IF has been a regular occurrence and the only day I dont adhere to it is on Sundays when I wake up and make myself a nice breakfast of eggs and bacon. Usually I have cold oats for lunch (with flaxseed, Chia seeds, almond slivers and a little brown sugar) and then I eat whatever I cook for dinner. As far as exercise I have weights in my garage and a row machine so I lift weights 5 days a week and try to get in at least a 5 mile bikeride or 20 minute row everyday. Just wanted to share my current progress! I wanna lose another 30lbs but ive been packing on some muscle so I dont know where to stop the actual weightloss and start maintaining. I've also been plateau'd for 3 weeks which is frustrating! https://i.imgur.com/gSKv8g8.jpg [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:27 AM PST Disclaimer: not a nutritionist, just a girl who struggles with diet and has found a helpful mental hack I'm 23F at 5'4/140lbs with approximately 27% body fat. My goal is to be at 25% or lower, and I know that the only way to do this is via body recomposition. I have to eat around 1400kcal a day to achieve this, but every time I've attempted that level I never feel satisfied. I'm low on energy, and I find that my cravings get worse. I also have a tendency to binge and have always had an unhealthy mindset about food (multiple bouts of eating disorders through teens and adulthood). This changed when I shifted my focus to consuming 1g protein/1lb of lean body mass. Once I started increasing my protein to min. 100g/day, keeping a caloric deficit came naturally. My cravings subsided and I wasn't obsessed with how little I was eating. I was pushing myself to eat MORE protein. Now I end up feeling quite full around 1200 calories which leaves enough room for a treat if I feel like having one. What's helped me the most is the mindset shift. I'm not "restricting" my diet anymore. Not obsessing over how little I was eating has freed my mind from constantly thinking about food. EDIT: I want to make it clear that my protein focus works for me and may not apply to everyone. The biggest takeaway is changing your mindset with respect to food if you have a proclivity to eating disorders like I do. Always thinking about how little you're supposed to eat (restricting = negative mindset) is harder than thinking about how much you should fuel your body (fueling = positive mindset). I look at eating now as rewarding my body for it's muscle rather than punishing it for it's fat. Again, I don't expect everyone to vibe with this approach. [link] [comments] |
| I hit my first big goal and know no one will understand as much as you all! Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:31 PM PST I hopped on the scale and there it was: I was below my pre-COVID weight!! I can't really put into words how great that moment felt but I knew I could find kindred souls here who would get it. When I was able to first return to work after months of remote work (still mostly remote, just on site twice a month) I found myself unable to fit into my work clothes comfortably and felt so incredibly self-conscious. Now, I am 17 lbs down and weighing in at the same weight I was according to a doctor's appointment in November 2019. Clothes fit better, I have convinced myself my shoulders look better, and overall I feel like I am on a path towards a better understanding of my body's health and needs. The Road So Far: - I have found that I naturally prefer intermittent fasting. I have always tended to skip breakfast beyond black coffee and now just do so with intention. Once I started I managed to overcome a mini-plateau at 190 so I think the change-up from trying to force myself to eat three meals a day really helped. - Exercising has been bad lately due to foot and hip flexor pain from old injuries and cold weather but I am looking ahead with excitement to when I can hop back in and until them am focusing on getting in enough steps and stretching, along with aiming for 100g of protein a day. - Steamable veggies are lifesavers as busy lunch hours have kept me from my normal meal preparations. Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and edamame al taste great with heaps of black pepper and garlic powder and are perfect for mid-meeting nibbles when I can't escape my desk for longer. - Water can not be emphasized enough. I can tell days when I skimped on water because the next day I feel congested (thanks, winter), bloated, and overall just worse off. Every week I need to renew my goals of drinking more water and stocking enough tea in the house has been key in helping me remember to refill my glass throughout the day. I love reading all of your journeys and learning from the wisdom you all share here. I can hardly believe that that weight is gone, when so many previous attempts have failed, and every day is a new joy as I learn the habits necessary to promote my health and find them working now that I am finally committed and motivated. Thanks to everyone here for being the most supportive community that I've found. You all keep me grounded and accountable. [link] [comments] |
| The thing I didn't realize about tracking calories to lose weight. Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:24 PM PST I've been tracking my calories now for about 6 months to lose weight and it hasn't been easy. Initially everything was great for the first few weeks. I calculated that I needed to average eating 2100 calories to lose about a pound a week. Over the few months I lost exactly 12 pounds! (I started at 5'11, 200lbs, and am 20 years old). Unfortunately around the middle of my third month I noticed my scale wasn't budging at all. My weekly weight averages had plateaued despite my dieting and careful calorie counting. Turns out, after digging deeper I learned that my maintenance calories had probably decreased as I had lost weight. I felt like I wasted valuable time and energy not preemptively decreasing my calorie intake further as I progressed along my weight loss journey. I did some research and found that this is a result of having less body mass overall (less cells burning energy) and "metabolic adaptation". You must figure out your TDEE and reevaluate it periodically to make counting calories worth your while long term. I know this subreddit recommends to use the spreadsheet in the FAQ and that's an absolute must. The online tdee calculators out there are okay for a baseline estimate using a formula to get started but if you want to get serious about losing weight long term you need to track both your calories and your weight as rigorously as possible. I feel like I've tried dozens of paths to losing weight but personally calorie tracking alongside weighing in often into adaptive TDEE calculator has been the most predictable and accurate way for me to ensure I am consistently below my TDEE regardless of how my body changes over time. If tracking on a spreadsheet is annoying, I also recommend using this site called calorietracker.io. I've been using it for the past few weeks since finding it on the myfitnesspal forums and it appears to be more or less 1:1 with the spreadsheet in the sidebar in terms of accuracy with the benefit of an easy interface and can automatically sync with myfitnesspal which I do all my calorie counting in because of its massive database. Cheers. I wish everyone well on their own journeys. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 05:14 PM PST Hi 36F, 5'3, 266.8 lbs here. First time posting and I feel rather silly posting this, but it happened a week ago and still can't stop smiling. So about a month ago I went to the doctor to get my thyroid and vitamin levels checked on recommendation of my therapist to see if my physical health was affecting my mental health. No such luck. But they weighed me in that visit at 270.6 lbs. and they took my A1C1 which thank God came back normal. But he put me on Metformin anyway for my PCOS and of course it would help if my blood sugar was spiking which he thought it might be. Waiting on those test results the next few days was terrifying. Not because I was afraid of what they would find, but what I KNEW they would find. And they did, my cholesterol was a little high, sugar a little high, and after an ultrasound fatty liver all which could be reversed with diet and exercise. He was a new doctor and I wanted him to know I was taking this seriously. I ate better most days and went to the gym like 3 times and when I saw a month later at his office I had lost just 3 lbs I felt so mad at myself. He spent the first good half of the appointment praising me on my loss and how I did such a great job. 😀. I'm in America this is my GP, no clue how this clinics doctor can spend so much time with me, but I'm glad he did. FYI, I feel like I kinda cheated cause Metformin gave me HORRIBLE stomach issues. But whatever, I see him at the end of this month and hopefully I'll be at an even lower weight. TLDR: Lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks, doctor praised it endlessly. [link] [comments] |
| Why do I keep on forgetting how awful it feels to overeat? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:06 AM PST Every single time I overeat, it feels TERRIBLE. I hate the physical feeling of my stomach being overfilled. How I get so hot and sweaty after, and even feel nausea sometimes if I really overdid it. Feeling just bloated and sick and gross for hours and hours after. Not to mention the mental distress of knowing I let myself down. So, I have a really hard time figuring out WHY I KEEP DOING IT?? I've been overeating for tens of years now. Every time after I've done it I think 'This feels so bad. I will never ever do this again!' So how does my brain the next day completely wipe out all the millions of bad experiences I have, and start thinking it will be okay to overeat again? I also hear a lot the advice to just not buy food at the store except things I won't binge on. But again it's like my brain completely wipes out. I know for a fact that if I buy a shitload of junk food I will 100% for sure eat it. But when I'm standing there at the shelves, why on earth do I always end up thinking it's okay this time? This is part a rant but mostly genuine confusion and a question. It makes me question my sanity, if something is actually wrong with me that I cannot seem to learn from my experiences to change my behavior. Does anyone else experience this? What do I do to make myself remember the bad parts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 03:20 PM PST I am 22, I have been overweight my entire life and for the first time for as long as I can remember I am no longer obese. Of course with weight fluctuation i go above the 215lb mark (I'm 5'11), but it doesn't change the base weight. I have been extremely worried about my weight loss since I have been bedridden due to a multi-story fall, some serious injuries. I started at 390 and I was ~225 42 days ago just before the incident. I knew healing takes up a lot of energy and sadly muscle atrophy does happen (my broken leg is ~half the size it once was) but I couldn't control my calorie intake too well. Eating from boredom is a big one too. I was resigned to gaining weight and fully expected 230 on the scale. The relief was insurmountable. Just having reached this point has made it so I don't feel too bothered by the idea of gaining some weight now, since now I feel in control again. Not saying I am mobile, but I can now count calories and I'm no longer eating out of boredom (as much as I had been). Onederland is coming early 2021, I can see it clearly Stats: 22M, 5'11 SW+Highest: 390lb - March 2018 CW: 215lb - December 2020 Healthy Weight: 180lb Goal Weight: 170lb Back in March I was 300lbs, I had a year long hiatus of maintaining my weight, too.

| After 2 years of struggle, I'm finally in onederland! Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:38 PM PST I stepped on the scale today and saw 199.0 lbs. I can't believe I finally made it here! I started few months go at 220 lbs. I know that doesn't seem like much, at only 20 lbs weight loss. But it's really been a rough couple of years that have led to this and this feels like a significant milestole. My start weight was actually 170 lbs about 3 years ago. I worked hard on losing weight with the wonderful help from this sub, and got down to 135 lbs. It was glorious and I was so proud of myself. I love fashion and enjoyed so much building my capsule wardrobe, and being able to enjoy dating, looking good in photos, blending into the world and just doing normal things. I really had the best time of my life when I was a normal weight. But then everything went wrong. Since I was on a roll with weight loss, I decided to quit smoking. This was a great decision, no regrets. But it led to me being diagnosed with anxiety because apparently I had been "holding it all together" by smoking. I started SSRIs which had a terrible side-effect of increasing my appetite to the point where I never felt full. I put on about 70 lbs very quickly, in less than one year, and it continued to creep up from there. I felt like I'd completely lost control of my life and everything just became pointless and hopeless. A few months ago I got diagnosed with high blood pressure, and my doctor told me I needed to lose weight. I explained that the SSRI was giving me an out of control appetite but they weren't willing to do anything to help. I've tried to tell the doctor this before, including while I was at my lowest weight, when I went to them out of desperation begging them for help not to gain any weight when I first started the meds. My doctor has unfortunately been quite dismissive on many issues I've taken to them, including this one. In hindsight I should just get a different doctor, but it was hard to see that while I was in the middle of all this. After trying and failing to lose on willpower alone, I took matters into my own hands and stopped taking the meds (to be clear, I shouldn't have done this, and please don't any of you do this, the withdrawal side-effects can be very bad!). Finally I was able to do what I had done before three years earlier and eat at a reasonable calorie deficit. Immediately the pounds started falling off. In a way I feel vindicated that it was the meds causing the problem. But I regret so much that I've ended up in this situation in the first place. Also, fuck my doctor. I'm taking it slow, losing half a pound or one pound per week. I'm eating OMAD mostly because it just works well with my daily routine and it's easy to not screw it up. I bought myself some new clothes on Black Friday to celebrate, because I've basically been wearing sweat pants for two years. I have all my "skinny clothes" in three big storage boxes, organised by season, and I cannot wait to lose more weight so I can open them! Thanks for listening to my onederland ramble :) Height: 5'4" / 163cm Start weight: 170lbs Highest weight: 220lbs Current weight: 199lbs (yay!) Lowest weight: 135lbs Goal weight: To fit all my beautiful clothes again! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:41 AM PST It's a dark winter here, and I'm feeling a lot of temptation to curl up on the sofa and snack all evening. Usually, I can push past the urge and have a little treat without blowing my budget. This evening, though, I really wanted a chip butty. (For the uninitiated, this is the carb-on-carb pinnacle of British cuisine.) I bundled up warm, went to the chip shop in the next village rather than the one nearby, and kept walking. I saw some amazing Christmas lights, felt full of energy, and I wasn't even able to finish the chip butty. It was a great treat, but I enjoyed the walk just as much as the food this evening.

| 112lbs down in 1.5 years, still 33% body fat Posted: 09 Dec 2020 10:06 PM PST Female, 183cm/6ft Highest weight: 140kg/308lbs Current weight: 88.8kg/195lbs Goal weight: 70-75kg/154-165lbs So back in June 2019, I hit my highest weight of 140kg, i knew when I saw that number I was not going to let it rise any more. Looking back I never truly realised how big I was, but I'm so glad I decided to do something about it. I admit it was not the healthiest way which is why I've come on here for advice. I pretty much ate all the same foods; fast food, chips, pizza, chocolate etc. but I limited myself to only eating 1 or 2 things a day, like if I knew I wanted takeaway I would put off eating until dinner time so I could eat it. I don't think it was all on purpose, more of a too lazy to cook decent meals so I knew I would just snack on bad food. I also picked up skateboarding, and would use it to get around to work, the shops etc so I think that may have helped the weight loss, considering before this I wasn't doing any daily activity lol. Anyways, Ive ended up losing 51kg/112lbs since hitting my highest weight, and now I'm concerned as I checked my body fat % and It's at about 33-34% which is incredibly bad. So is it possible I lost a lot of muscle mass as well considering my % is still that high? And how do I go about lowering it? Probably eating better but I have no idea when it comes to nutrition and what's good for my body. I still eat like rubbish, fast food probably once or twice a week, and I rarely cook meals at home. So if anyone has some simple but nutritional meals they could share that'd be great! Tl;dr lost 50kg/112lbs, still have 33% body fat and wondering if I lost muscle mass lmao. And how to lower that %.

| NSV & Update: I faced my fears & went to the doctor! Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:22 AM PST I just quickly wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave me words of encouragement and advice a month ago, when I posted about being absolutely terrified of seeing a primary care physician. I suffer from some pretty severe anxiety about doctors and I made a vow to myself that after not seeing a GP for almost a decade, I'd do it this year. With 22 days left In the year, I followed through. This morning I woke up in a near panic, was trembling like a leaf, AND there was a snowstorm. I wanted to cancel so bad, but I went through with it. I am so fucking proud of myself. For everyone else that has similar fears, trust me when I say if I can do it, you can do it too. I feel so much better knowing I took this necessary step towards bettering my health. I also wanted to add that the doctor and nurse I saw today were absolutely lovely humans, took their time listening to all my concerns and questions, and did not make me feel shamed or like an "obese whale" at all. I worked myself up over this for damn near a decade and it was fine. Thank you again to everyone who suggested fasting before my appointment for the labs, and keeping a log of my blood pressure due to "white coat syndrome". I was able to knock my blood work out there and then, and they are looking into my thyroid functioning, cholesterol, etc. I prepared a lot for today and the doctor was happy that I was so thorough. I can't thank this community enough for the support. I'm just so proud of myself. I did it!!!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 03:34 PM PST My one true "goal" to losing weight is to be able to ride a roller coaster. I absolutely hate heights and the handful of times I have ridden on them whenever I was younger I hated every moment of it, but being a bigger person and being invited to amusement parks there isn't a lot to do because I'm paranoid about idk dying on a roller coaster 😅 This is really just a post to see what everyone wants to do after they lose the weight they want, and kind of just to see where people stand. Sorry if this goes against the rules I tried to read through them to see if it went against them or not! I'm also really trying hard to be able to comfortably fly on a plane for the first time. I don't want to be a burden to anyone. [link] [comments] |
| A little self talk trick for comfort/stress eaters Posted: 09 Dec 2020 08:06 AM PST You may already do this, but what works for me when I'm having a crappy day or when something horrible has happened. That usually triggers me to thinking of all the foods that I want to binge on, because full belly=soporific comfort. What I do now is say, "oh you want to eat XXX that's absolutely fine, you can have it if you want it. But I know you're angry about that thing, so maybe don't take it out on your body. You know eating XXX is not going to make your body happy." For me there are two steps 1) give myself permission to eat whatever (that which is forbidden is very alluring) 2) articulate that by eating crappy foods, I'm punishing my body, and what I really want to do is punish the stressor [link] [comments] |
| I can’t tell when I’m full and I’m always hungry? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 12:22 AM PST I need help. Even when I was a little kid I couldn't tell. I don't know when I'm full, only when I am absolutely thanksgiving dinner stuffed. As a child I used to eat so much to the point where my body physically couldn't take it and so I would throw up. Not on purpose, of course. Every single day. I never said no to food. Whatever little signal people say they get, I don't have that. It doesn't click and it doesn't work. I am ALWAYS hungry and I'm NEVER full. If I'm stuffed, it only lasts 30 minutes or so, then I'm hungry again. It's getting ridiculous lol Idk what to do. It gets even worse at night? Like I'll follow the little diet during the day, but it's like I become a fucking monster at 23:00 sharp. Everything goes out the window and Idc I'm fat anymore, everybody's gonna die right? My mindset completely changes out of nowhere lmfao, then I regret it 10 minutes later. What do I do lol? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:29 AM PST Title pretty much says it all. I'm worried about his mental and his physical health! I don't think he sees a therapist. Of course we've complained to each other this year and confided in each other a lot being so isolated together, and we were already good friends, so I don't think it would be out of place for me to ask how he's doing. He's lost a job and struggling to find a new one. He's been really inactive, and he's honestly ballooned at least 100 pounds this year. I know that sounds unbelievable but that's my honest guess. Maybe I'm over exaggerating. But it's definitely not healthy. I just worry if someone doesn't say something, someone he trusts, he might not realize how bad things are getting. Is this out of place for me to do? Would really appreciate any advice here. He's driving home to see his family for the first time since last Christmas this weekend, too, and they haven't seen him since he's put on all this weight. I'm worried he's going to create a really awkward situation for himself without even realizing it because I don't think he even realizes he's put on the weight. He hasn't upsized his clothes or anything and brushes it off if I ask him if he wants to work out with me. I want to make it very clear that I am by no means fat shaming him; I would be concerned if anyone I knew at any size put on this much weight this quickly. Something isn't right. I would just never bring up a friends weight under any circumstances unless I was genuinely worried for their health and I really am. I just don't know how to have this conversation and figured some folks here might have some good suggestions. If anyone needs any more info before giving advice on this please comment and I'll do my best. Also posting from a backup account as I know he's active on Reddit. Thanks folks. TLDR: title says it all. Roommate has lost his job and his motivation during COVID; stays at home and had put on probably 100 pounds this year. Is it appropriate for me to politely ask about it / how he's doing? If so, how? [link] [comments] |
| Start your New Year’s resolution now Posted: 09 Dec 2020 01:06 PM PST Roughly three weeks from now many of us will attempt to change something in our lives that we don't like. Why not start now? Many of the things we attempt to change arise from excess. Eat too much (or too much of the wrong thing), drink too much alcohol, sit around too often, etc. This is a great time to introduce your change in habit a little at a time. Order a salad with your pizza, take a walk when you have an extra 15 minutes or so, grab a bottle of water instead of alcohol. If you start now, slowly, you have a greater chance of sustaining your habits and making the new ones permanent. Go ahead, you can do it!! [link] [comments] |
| I've fallen off the wagon and I'm getting back on Posted: 09 Dec 2020 04:35 PM PST This is an accountability post for myself, I am manifesting it and putting it in writing so I can internalize it, hopefully if anyone is going through something similar they won't feel alone in it. I have been overweight my whole life, and I got sick of it. At my heaviest I was 260+, after some lifestyle changes I unintentionally got down to 220 and decided this summer that enough was enough. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to look and feel nicer, and back in September I started trying to lose weight. Through CICO and light exercise, I got down to the 190s, and I was doing great. My relationship with food changed, I was making sustainable changes, and I was really happy with the changes in my habits and appearance. Then, my little brother passed away unexpectedly and I was a wreck. People were forcing me to eat because I wouldn't do it myself, I stopped exercising, and I stopped giving a fuck about anything in my life except that. I went back to my home country (NOT easy during covid) and was met with more food, even less exercise, and I started slipping back into the habits that had made me overweight before. I didn't want to eat, I didn't think it would make me feel better like it had in the past, but I did anyway. I got a bit into the mindset of "x food isnt available in the country I live in now, might as well enjoy it while I'm here" and "I'll start back up again once I get home", I felt like I was existing in a little bubble of mourning but now it's been a month and I need to move forward. I was supposed to go back home yesterday but travel restrictions changed and my flight was cancelled. The soonest I can go back is in 2 weeks. I need to get a grip on myself, I need to start the "moving forward" part and find a new normal, and I need to get back into dieting and exercising and caring about my body. It just seems so hard to do while I'm stuck in my home country, in my bubble. It doesn't seem like real life. I know I've gained weight since I've been here, I weighed myself yesterday and I'm at 198. This is the heaviest I want to be ever again, this is my new starting weight. Tomorrow I'm going grocery shopping and I'm gonna stop eating the unhealthy stuff that's been made so readily available to me. I'm gonna start logging my food again. As soon as I'm done typing this post, I'm gonna go exercise for the first time in a month and it will be the start of my new routine. The first milestone weight I wanted to reach was 180, right now I'm 18 lbs away. I'm 2 months away from reaching my first goal. I'm starting again now, and nothing else is going to keep me from continuing on my weight loss journey. [link] [comments] |
| Have no idea where to get started 25F SW 195 lbs H: 5’8” Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:09 AM PST Hi! So I was pretty much 150 lbs my whole life until I had my first baby almost 4 years ago. I've had two kids and can't seem to lose all the weight I've gained. I don't think I look like obese but I'm definitely not happy with my body. I BF both kids and everyone says that you lose weight from it, but I just seemed to gain/maintain. Before the pandemic I joined a gym and was lifting weights & eating healthy for 3 months but I only lost 5 lbs. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or why I'm literally stuck at 195 no matter how little or how much I eat, move around, drink water, etc. does anyone have any tips here for those of you who seem to have a difficult time moving the scale? I take non hormonal BC & wellbutrin and those haven't affected my weight either. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 04:55 AM PST hi y'all. i've struggled with a poor relationship with food my whole life. when i was in high school i was very restrictive, and during college i found comfort in food. i reached 228 pounds (22 y.o 5'5 female) and when i went to the doctor and they put "obese" on my chart i realized something had to change. i've tried to lose weight soooo many times but this time just feels right. i've started anxiety medication and left my high stress job and am seeing a nutritionist who's been wonderful. i started this "journey" at 225 pounds and today i weighed in at 219.2. I know that's not a crazy weight loss and I have soooo much more to go, but every other time I would start at ~228, get down to ~222, and fall off track. I haven't been out of the 220s in a long time. this is such a huge motivator for me, and i can't wait to keep pushing!! [link] [comments] |
