I joined Reddit exactly two years ago specifically for this sub. I’d never heard of the site, but I loved the idea of a positive community focused on weight loss. I committed then to losing the stubborn 50 or so lbs I’d gained in college.
Here I am, two years later, and I’m basically at the same place I started. I’ve lost a bit and gained it back over and over, but I am so proud of myself for my progress over the last few years in so many other areas! I might not have lost weight, but I:
- Learned how to cook and eat almost every meal at home.
- Went to therapy for my binge eating and have that completely under control.
- Started exercising more regularly, and I’ve even accomplished some recent fitness goals!
- Signed up for and completed a 5k.
- Stopped punishing myself for a bad eating days and just recommit the next day.
- I’ve gone on hikes, long bike rides, and all kinds of physical activity I didn’t think I could do.
- Graduated college with an awesome job lined up!
I could keep listing things, but I think the point is there. I may not have lost the weight, but my mindset to be healthier has carried over into so many aspects of my life and made me much happier. Also, I may not have lost any weight, but I did successfully stop gaining weight after steady scale increases for years!
I’m happy, and although I still plan on trying to lose the weight (especially now that college is over), I think my weight loss journey over the last two years is a success even though the scale never changed.
