Revelation: weight loss is no longer the main focus of my life

A few months ago, I was obsessed with losing weight. It would literally be all I think about. I would freak over every calorie, how much I worked out, calories burned, what I would eat for breakfast the next day...plateaued, panicked and turned to intermittent fasting to speed things up, might have developed a few obsessive tendencies afterward.

I eventually stopped these obsessive behaviors and started intuitive eating, obviously being mindful of my overall intake. Eventually this whole weight loss thing stopped being the main focus of my life and I just started living. I work out every other day not to lose weight, but because I miss the endorphins or I’m just bored. If my mom makes some enchiladas or if my sister orders some MickieD’s, I eat it, because one burger will not kill me. I’m no longer afraid to eat an apple at night In fears of breaking my fast. I am living!

I stopped weighing myself daily because I realize, if I just eat healthy and make healthier, wiser lifestyle choices I WILL lose weight eventually. Maybe not as fast as I’d like to, but I shouldn’t put so much pressure on myself to lose so much weight in so little time. No one deserves that.

And if I don’t lose weight, it’s not the end of the world. I am healthier. And that’s what matters :)
