so, about 3 years ago i was 5'5 and 180 lbs. i was severely low in confidence, suffering though the worst depression id faced. about a year ago, i was 5'6" 142 lbs. neither of these times was i really happy. its now 2021, im about 160 lbs, and guess what? for the first time in weight loss, im happy
i can say for a certain theres been a post like this before, but i feel like its important to day that if you feel like as you lose weight your confidence is plummeting, you should stop. when i reached my lowest weight of 142, i was fasting for days on end. i was convinced i was fine in terms of weight loss, and needed to keep going till i was smaller. i didnt realise it, but media had put an influence on me that it was healthy to deprive myself of nutrients, and that i was ugly unless i was dying. it shouldnt have to be said, but that is not the formula to good, healthy, permanent weight loss. after the episodes of starving, id binge HARD on foods. eventually i reached a pount where my confidence was so low, i couldnt take it. i stopped truing to lose weight
its been a year since that. i decided to reeducate myself. ive decided to take an approach on life that works for me. im eating enough to function snd do activities, but not too much. im losing weight at a rate that isnt too fast, but i still feel comfortable with. i wear clothes i want, i feel CONFIDENT. i feel pretty. not skinny, not fat, because those arent real. i feel GOOD.
i guess in whole, the message or tl;dr of this post is, happy weight is better than a low weight. do not pressure yourself so much that youre worse than when you started, and do what works for YOU.
