When I started my weight loss journey (this second time around) I set a very ambitious goal 135 lbs. I started at 197, and I thought to myself “ I’m gonna get there, I need to get there”
The journey has been very eye opening and I realized a few things:
-
I have several disordered eating habits
-
I don’t NEED to get down to 135 lbs
-
I look exactly the way I want at 155, and I’m comfortable here.
-
Lastly, my mental health is far more important to me than my weight.
I used CICO, sometimes unhealthily, throughout my journey, nothing more nothing less. And now it’s time for me to get in the gym to build up all the muscle I lost because I was scared of seeing the scale move up from exercise related water weight, and I’m also pursuing a diet change that consists mostly of fresh fruits and veggies, with healthy carbs, fats, and proteins. I realized I don’t like how beef and pork and cheese make me feel, so I’m not gonna eat that anymore.
I’m also going to stop being a human garbage can just to placate others, and you should too. Your mom or grandma or co worker aren’t going to die if you don’t eat that cake or that super unhealthy or unappetizing meal. You owe yourself more respect than to just dump everything into your body simply to please someone else.
I hope everyone else is having a good journey! Mine is not over, it’s just different now. Stay strong, and always do what’s right for you.
