I’ve finally gotten started! (First update)

Obligatory on mobile!

Hey y’all, I’ve posted on here before, but I’m super excited about it this time. In 2018, I took a depression booster that absolutely packed the weight on me. Like, we’re talking 50 pounds in 4 months. (I’m from the US, so sorry, I don’t know what that is in KG or stones.) After stopping the medicine (switched to a better one for my body, am in care of an AWESOME psych), I gained about 10 more pounds. I topped out at around 221 lbs last year and haven’t gained or lost since then. Now, for most of my life, I have been between 150-160 lbs. The healthiest I’ve ever looked and felt is about 145 lbs a few years ago.

I’m finally in a good enough headspace to take care of me, and though I’ve been talking about and thinking about losing weight to feel better, I’M FINALLY DOING IT. It helps that I’m back in a house with steps instead of a flat apartment. More natural moving! The big update? I HAVE LOST TWELVE POUNDS!!!! I’m seeing a number I haven’t seen since before I got married! Just having that little bit of progress is encouraging me to really start in earnest. I’m working on having a healthy relationship with food, and I’m thinking about starting the Beachbody workout thingy. I’ve got Ring Fit Adventure, too, which I’d highly recommend.

Now, I’m lucky enough to have a spouse who thinks I’m beautiful no matter what, but secretly, I’d like to be back at my healthy weight (145-155 but no lower, probably) to feel better, look better, and have a better quality of life. Plus, I’d like to be pick-up-and-kiss-against-a-wall-able, if you know what I mean, and I just am excited to be healthy.

I’m mostly posting this for encouragement to keep going and for any tips or easy, cheaper recipes or meal prep ideas you might have! If anyone is interested in an accountability buddy or anything, feel free to PM me. Any weight loss things I should know? Anything to expect? Any ways I can encourage any of you???

Twelve down, and still a bunch to go, but hey, I’m 12 closer than I was a month ago!!!!!!
