I started coming on here a little more when I started my weight loss journey again and saw people who had lost 50lb and didn't think that I would ever achieve that. I didn't even set it as any kind of goal until a week or two ago when I was getting close. I did my weekly weigh in today and a 2lb loss got me to just over 50lb in total! I'm in a little shock and so excited and proud of myself.
I've been following Weight Watchers so I haven't necessarily been counting calories or anything like that, I've just been trying to stick to my daily points and getting some hidden exercise in like housework, walking to work, or walking round the shops. I did try making myself go out on big walks but it wasn't something I necessarily enjoyed so I made the effort just to walk to where I needed to go in my daily life if it's within walking distance. I try not to be too restrictive with food because that was part of what went so wrong in previous attempts. I've also gone into it with a different mindset, in the past, I would set impossible standards for myself and my weight loss, and I would compare how well I was doing with other people, which led me to get discouraged and quit but now I've gone into it with the mindset that I'm not other people and I'm still going to lose the weight, just maybe at a different pace.
I'd say my clothes fit better but they're too big now, and I'm a size down, I still feel the fear a little bit when I pick up a L or a size 16, just in case it's too small but everything new that I've bought fits really well. I've lost a load of fat from my face, which I only noticed a couple of days ago. The days where I see my start weight in the mirror and the photos that I hate seeing myself in are getting less.
I only really tried a healthier lifestyle because I was worried about my physical health but it's had loads of unexpected benefits on my mental health as well, I hate myself less and I'm beginning to feel more confident. I've still got a way to go before I reach my goal weight but I know that I can do it, and I'm enjoying this new lifestyle so much!
