I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how much I regret my weight gain. I was sucked into HAES after using unhealthy binge/purge cycles to deal with past trauma. I didn’t even realize then that my food issues were a coping mechanism for buried trauma, and HAES offered a “solution”. As a result my husband and I are both not just overweight, but obese. Until this year I refused any kind of intentional weight loss.
While I was feeling sorry for myself and all the time I’ve wasted, though, I had a moment of clarity where I remembered I’m still only in my 20s. I have the rest of my life to get to a healthy weight and stay there!
One day I hope to be able to say, “yeah, I was overweight from 2015 to 2020. But then I changed my habits and got healthy.”
“Losing” 5 years is so much better than never reaching my goal.
