I don’t expect this to get any attention, and to be honest that’s ok.
I’ve been dieting for what feels like forever and I really thought I’d made no progress. I’ve been trying on and off for years to try and see some form of progress but it’s never seemed to work. All I have is a photo album of “before” pics that are progressively fatter than the last which has led to me feeling worse and worse about myself
Then, somehow, out of absolutely nowhere I decided to make a change. I was sick of feeling like shit all the time and started making a conscious effort to eat healthier - but not just what I thought was healthy, genuine ‘steamed veggies and protein for dinner’ healthy. I stopped associating my happiness with binge eating after a long day at work, and started thinking “is this going to make you happy?”
After 8 impossibly long weeks I went out for a few drinks with friends. At the end, after I’d well and truly tied one on, I did my usual and impulsively asked the cab to take me through the local drive through to get a burger and large fries as a treat for when I got home.
But this time it was different.
After I bought it I felt so guilty, and said to myself “weigh yourself first before you’re sure you want to do this.check your progress first.”
Well, lucky I did. Because I saw a number on the scales that I hadn’t seen in six years, and honestly.......I broke down crying.
I genuinely never thought I’d be at this weight for the rest of my life.
All the hard work and sacrifice had manifested itself on the scales to the point I just couldn’t believe that it was me. I’d been thinking of myself as a “fat loser” for so long that it was hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel - but there it was. Irrefutable proof that my hard work had been paying off.
So I immediately threw that junk food in the bin with a renewed sense of optimism and a feeling of confidence that maybe I can reach my ultimate weight loss goal after all - and I’m not a complete lost cause.
