I started my initial weight loss journey in May of 2020. I was strict on CICO, joined a gym and got a trainer, and I religiously went 5 days a week. In about 9 months, I had lost 20 lbs and felt so much better about myself.
This was also when COVID restrictions in my area started to lift, so I had the opportunity for the first time in a long time to go out to restaurants and bars with friends. And this is where I fell back into my college habits (I’m only 1 year out of undergrad) because what good is CICO if you’re only doing it 5 days a week and then binging on alcohol and pizza on Fridays and Saturdays? This happened in college too, but I always forget that I can’t eat and drink the way my friends can because I. will. gain. weight.
I also started a new (dream) job in June that, while I love, has a lot of work and has made it a lot harder for me to get to the gym as often as I want to.
So here I am, and I’ve gained 25 lbs in the last 5 months. I’m deeply embarrassed, upset, and full of self loathing about how I let so much hard work and discipline go to waste.
But I feel like I have a new opportunity. After longer than I anticipated living at home, I’m moving to a new city for a job that I love with my best friends, and it’s now on me. I want to enjoy this new place without having to constantly worry about what I look like, so I’m back to Day 1, and currently eating the healthiest breakfast I’ve had in weeks.
I know I have it in me. Let’s do this.
