SV: Down 46 pounds! Motivation? Spite.
I saw a new doctor about six months ago for routine labs. Everything came back fine as I eat too much but also exercise, and am basically lucky. I'm very much an emotional over-eater, and when left alone with food will eat it like it doesn't count (??), and have a lot of food hoarding issues, binge, stealing, etc. Basically, Food Issues. Years of therapy might help. I've been dieting and fat-hating since age 8.
Anyway, this jumped up resident tells me my BMI is high and I'm in the obese category. Which is her job. I get it. But I'm a shit, and pretend it's the very first time anyone has ever told me I'm fat and have a very loud case of the southern vapors. "Fat??? I'm just big boned!!!" So after I "calm down" and it becomes clear that I was being a shit, she says that she has to set a weight loss goal in my chart. Uh huh. So. It's six months to my next checkup so I say (a pro at the 2lb a week calculation) 45 pounds. AND SHE SAYS, "Let's be more realistic."
LET'S BE MORE REALISTIC!???! Oh, okay. OKAY. OKKKKKKAY!!!! Tell me I can't do something. She puts down something like ten pounds.
And this morning, three WEEKS before my next appointment. 46 pounds down.
Also, what I'm particularly proud of, is that I only succumbed to a binge/restrict cycle for one week. The rest was just me and MFP and around 1600 cal a day.
(*This weight loss due to spite also brought to you by my housemate's MLM diet, which I really wanted to watch fail, and PokemonGO.)
