I am a 5'11, 28 year-old female and my highest weight was 215. During the 8 years I was a restaurant server I stayed around 150-160 (I'm guessing the job is associated due to how active serving is). Though for the past 2 years I had a sedentary job, and also COVID. I was stuck between loving myself with the body positivity movement and wanting to lose weight. I carry the weight well because I am tall and have an hourglass type figure. My boyfriend always said I was beautiful and that I don't need to lose weight. I never went on a diet because of what the movement teaches and how my boyfriend viewed me, but I decided to incorporate more healthy food. Though I was still eating huge portions and takeout constantly. I kept gaining and I was getting uncomfortable in my body and health issues started coming up.
Despite my health issues and none of my clothes fitting, my "aha moment" was when I went to Disneyland recently and the tennis shoes I wore were hurting my feet and were too small. Though previously they fit fine, I must not have worn them all throughout COVID. My cousin, who I was with at Disneyland, said that when she gained weight her feet went up a size. I googled if that was true and I found that the weight of your body presses down on your feet and changes their shape.
That was the last straw for me. My feet are being pushed down so much from my weight that I have to get bigger shoes?!?! Not having it!
So I lost 10 lbs last month with tracking calories and light exercise!
What was your aha moment?
