Last August, I was the biggest I’ve ever been, at 290 pounds (30F, 5’11”). Today, I weigh 195. I’m so close to 100 pounds lost!
I don’t recognize the old me anymore, inside or out. I used to eat terribly. Growing up, I ate mostly processed foods and junk food. My mom didn’t put a lot of effort into feeding me healthy foods. At 19, I moved out of her house to a different city. I started eating fast food everyday, sometimes twice a day. After eating a Big Mac, McChicken and large fry, I’d go home and eat a full bag of Doritos. Then I’d top it off with some ice cream.
But now? Now I prefer home-cooked healthy meals WITH vegetables. I used to hate onions. Broccoli. Tomatoes. Everything! They tasted disgusting and the texture was too much. But once I decided to lose weight, I realized it would be good for my diet if I could just force myself to eat them, so I can fill myself up and have less calories. I also wanted to reap the health benefits. I would literally gag while eating broccoli, like a petulant child. But I pushed through. And it WORKED! It took a while, but we got there.
I’m still surprised by it. I went to Perkins yesterday and ordered the omelette with the most vegetables on the menu. I’ve been to Perkins probably 1,000+ times, I love their food. Usually I would order French toast with a slice of pie, and I’d drizzle the heck out of my toast with syrup. I don’t even want to know how many calories it was, compared to ~550 for the omelette.
If you’re like me and struggled with horrible tastebuds and a shit palate, just know you can adjust them!! It takes time but I’m proof that it can happen! Don’t let this hold you back from starting your weight loss journey!
