Hey guys, checking in after a year! (TW, ED?)

A year ago today I’d posted about struggling with binge eating. I’d finally broken down, had a good cry, told my husband what I had been doing, and held myself accountable here.

Well, I’m proud to say that I have gone an entire year without binge eating! I’ve had days where I’ve eaten at maintenance (too many if I’m honest,) but I’ve lost 25 pounds since January, mostly by just cutting the binge eating.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little sad that I only lost 25 pounds in such a long time and that I’m still in the same clothing size, but the healthier eating habits and control I’ve been building back into my life are making me healthier overall. I’ve begun to exercise more, my stomach is shrinking, my food is healthier every day. And 25 pounds is a lot of weight still.

It’s been hard too. There’s days where I get upset and I just want to stuff a cake down my throat. Those are days where I’ve not restricted as hard. It’s helped me not go overboard. I’ve been extremely honest with my spouse about my intake. If I feel like lying to him there’s an issue, and I know to be a bit more careful. The downside to those adjustments is the extra slow aspect to my weight loss. But some things are worth it.

I was hoping to be 190 by the end of the month, but I don’t think I’ll make it by one or two pounds. However, that doesn’t take away from all the hard work I’ve put in.

Those that supported me at my lowest last year, thanks a million. Slowly but surely I’m pulling myself together. I got this.
