I fit into a size Large today. I haven’t been this small since elementary school.

I’m female, 20, 5’2”, started my weight loss journey at 300 lbs in January 2019 and am now at 210ish lbs and still losing. I’ve been doing CICO and have opted for lower-calorie plant-based substitutions such as non-dairy milks, etc. (but I am still eating meat/animal products). My biggest problem that made me so overweight was food addiction (which can still be a struggle but I have it under control much more than I did before) and eating out 4-5 times a week, sometimes more.

I went into the Disney store as I always do when I walk around the mall and they had some Star Wars merch on sale for a really good price. They had this one sweater that I really wanted, but the only sizes they had were a 2X (too big) and a Large (too small... or so I thought). So I figured the price was too good to refuse and I would fit into a Large eventually so I bought it.

Decided to try it on at home so I could find out just how tight it might be and how much more I might have to lose to wear it. And oh my god, it fits? And it’s not tight! Holy crap, I fit into a size Large!!! I was and still am ecstatic. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I wore anything smaller than an adult XL. I did notice that I have a decent amount of room in my XL shirts that I was wearing but I thought that I still would fit into size Large yet. It’s victories like these that keep me going. I have never felt physically better than I do right now.
