In the past month I (19M SW:190lbs CW:158lbs) returned to work after five months on furlough. Those five months were brutal mentally so I put myself to weight loss and it went well (so far, still going)
Anyway, on the first day back at work I had three NSV’s. Firstly, the uniform that used to barely hold me? Fits perfectly. No muffin top, no discomfort from it digging into me, nothing. That one felt really good.
Then I got to work and received two compliments on the first day and more as it went on. To have people tell me they noticed a change in me was really nice as to be honest I don’t see much of a change in myself so it’s good to know that to the outside world my progress is visible.
Then it came time for my break. This is where I always fell short in previous attempts. I work fast food and we get a free meal with every shift and every single time I’d convince myself I’d earned a massive meal and a dessert. Not this time. I worked out what I could eat beforehand and stuck to it. I could feel my willpower getting stronger and it felt great to be able to say no to food.
Then there have been two more recently. I noticed the other day I don’t feel pain in my legs and feet after a shift anymore. It used to be agony, but now I don’t feel anything. It took me a while to notice but I’m really glad I did, probably worth it for that alone lmao.
Lastly, I got invited to play five a side football. It had been arranged ages ago but restrictions only just allowed it. Was I shattered after it? Yeah, but I played for almost 90 mins and kept up with everyone else there. No way I could have done that a few months ago.
Finally I’ve been getting invited to more social things, I think I have become more confident and people are seeing that in me. Losing weight has done so many great things for me I just wanted to share. Not done yet but I am happy, good luck to all of you
