i’m honestly really nervous to post this but I don’t have anyone to talk to about it since everyone in my direct circle of friends is a little sour on weight loss and I don’t want to make them feel bad. I’m just excited!
I didn’t achieve any SV or NSV today but just felt like taking the time to acknowledge what a difference I’ve made in the past 5 weeks. I think pictures sometimes speak louder than words so here’s a link to a couple comparison shots
the sports bra from the before pictures actually doesn’t fit me anymore which actually makes me sad because I liked wearing it and uh, my tits are gone and sad now, but I’m also happy because I remember buying it, and how it was fairly tight back then.
I didn’t count calories at all and to be super honest I also didn’t give that much of a fuck about what I ate. I still eat the things I like but I’ve been making a conscious effort to do small healthier decisions. like say, using spelt pasta instead of regular pasta (even if I drown it in a cream sauce lol) or ordering the fish with vegetables instead of the deep fried dish. Stuff like that!
I think the biggest difference was however in portion control. Before I would eat until I couldn’t move anymore. Ignoring all signals from my body ‘because it just tastes so good’! Or eating the huge greasy pizza even if I knew it was gonna make me feel like pure ass (because I don’t have a gallbladder anymore and IBS). It was all for the taste. Which really wasn’t all that great in a lot of cases
Now, I really watch how much I eat. I don’t restrict myself, but I take my time and listen to my stomach and my fullness feeling at regular intervals. When I notice myself slipping into over drive by eating too fast and becoming greedy (like not even finish chewing before the next bite is raised, or literally using two hands to shovel my fries) I stop and take a sip of water. Regroup, assess how full I’m feeling and then go in again but much more consciously and I savor the next bites. As I said, very often I’ve found that the food actually isn’t all that good and I was just getting a little overexcited
So, in the past 5 weeks I went comfortably from 50.4kgs/111.1lbs to 47.5kgs/104.7lbs. My goal weight is roughly around 45kgs/99lbs because that’s what I used to weigh as a teen and I was most comfortable at that weight. I’m only 4’11 for reference!
Lastly I want to say that food was always a comfort to me, and to an extent it still is. I still look forward to a hearty meal after a tough day, but I’ve gone from using food as a blind fix for all, to food as a supporting hand on my back as I work through my shit.
Thanks for being such a cool community and letting me share my excitement!
