70 days and 42 pounds lighter

I'm posting this mainly for future me, I'm feeling pretty down right now, but despite that 2020 has been like a fresh start to me.

In 2015 I developed a panic disorder after some trauma in my life, long story short; I let it take over and put my life on hold.

7th of January I stepped on the breaks after some rough holidays and seeing 320 lbs on the scales. I've had my panic disorder under control for a few months at this point.

I bought myself a Food scale and a Fitbit as a "can't let this go to waste" type of deal. I started carefully logging my calories, switched out sodas for water and diet sodas, started IF and also started following Fitbits 5 days a week exercise tracker.

Fast forward to today, I'm almost halfway to getting back to my old weight, I'm no longer morbidly obese (not really an achievement but still) and other things in my life are slowly getting back on track, too. I'm seeing new people, getting outside again and finally went to the dentist after 5 years to get my incisor fixed.

My mother says you can really see it in my face, I still don't see a difference in the mirror, but my belly fat feels "looser" where before it feels quite firm though this could just be placebo.

The exciting part is over now, weight loss is starting to slowly but surely slow down, and my diet change has become routine.

I haven't fallen off track yet, and hope to keep it that way! And even though I still have some tough days mentally, I will continue trucking along hoping, that everything will slowly fall back into place.

Life can be rough sometimes friends, but we can't sit idle. I hope everything is going well with all of you and good luck on your weight loss journeys.
