I have lost my first 5lbs and I'm really proud of myself for sticking to it and finding ways to make it feel easier. I feel like I'm in tune with my needs which is a full 180 compared to the toxic way I used to lose weight.
But I have also kept it a big secret because I feel really bad that other people around me only talk about struggling to lose weight. I feel like I have it easy, I'm a short woman and I not an athlete, I'm anemic and have POTS, but I am able to lose weight and eat over 2000 calories a day. I am aiming for half to one pound a week over time, honoring my body's needs by eating at maintenance around the beginning of my monthly cycle.
I feel like an asshole for having success so easily. When it comes up I try to just say encouraging things like keep going, you will find what works for you, or keep it vague and positive without disclosing my situation.
I still want to keep it quiet in my IRL social circles, but I would love to hear stories of people feeling this way during their weight loss journey. Thank you!
