Hi All! This is my first post on r/LoseIt and i'm so excited to start a weight loss journey again.
When I was in college, I took the pursuit of weight loss a little too far and developed an eating disorder. I became severely emaciated and my health was incredibly compromised. Since then i've had to take a step back and rediscover how to eat normally - which I don't regret at all! I've recovered and happy. However, i've gained back the weight i lost and then some, probably 15 pounds more than I was back then. I'm not really comfortable in this current body and don't feel great or confident in clothes. Ive also developed some not so healthy eating habits and preferences and want to get back to looking and feeling my best , fueling with whole foods and improving my athletic performance.
I tend to avoid the scale due to my past, so i don't know my current weight. But I think progress pictures are not triggering - and i took my first few in months!!
I know I don't have *much* weight to lose - maybe 10-15 pounds at most. So I think employing some simple strategies may help me feel better.
- Make sure I drink enough water
- I already work out about 5-6 times a week, but I want to up the intensity of my workouts, add more HIIT and lift heavier. I'll probably purchase a workout guide to take the thinking out of it
- Alcohol: limit drinking only to weekends, try to stick to vodka soda and white claw. This is definitely one of my biggest culprits.
- Make veggies and fruits the focus of my meals and limit my processed snacks.
- Track calories but give room for some untracked fun meals!
I'm posting for accountability and motivation, and i'm excited to get to know you all. I think I can do this safely and sustainably, and i'm excited to truly get healthier for the right reasons.
