I finally did it. After eight months of eating at 1,200 calories a day and the occasional cheat dinner at the in-law’s, I did it. I got to a healthy weight for the first time in my life.
This entire journey taught me just how bad my old habits were. I used to eat huge, high-calorie meals with plenty of desert. I’d snack at night. I’d eat multiple meals a day. I changed to not only eating at a deficit to lose weight, (I’m 5’1 so smol lady means smol calories) but I began eating healthier as well. Protein like fish has been a life saver! Avoiding oil has helped tremendously and I stay away from fast food as if it’s the plague.
Pros! I went from size 11 jeans to about 2/3. I can cross my legs effortlessly when I sit. My stomach doesn’t fold. I can see my collar bones and my vocal cords! My knees are defined. My tall boots fit my calves! I don’t feel self conscious anymore about my man being a toothpick next to me. Now we’re both tiny people!
Cons! I’m always freezing. Always. Fucking. Freezing. My blubber used to keep me warm apparently but this might be great in the summer when the weather becomes more akin to hell. My skin sags a lot. The volume in my chest is completely gone and I only lost one cup size. My behind is flatter than mcdonald’s pancakes. Where are my hips? Oh, they went out the window, too. I get hit on...a lot; by clients, crossing the street, walking into the tattoo shop, walking down the sidewalk, you get it. I hate that sort of attention but i dress cute because now i love looking in the mirror! My eye hollows are now ripoff gucci bags. I still have dysmorphia.
10/10 would recommend CICO. I will now maintain this weight if not try to be between 115-120. Thank you to the kind souls in this sub and to my amazing partner who has been my biggest supporter.
