I posted on here a couple months ago asking if anyone else on a weight loss journey didn’t weigh themselves. I hadn’t weighed myself or known my weight for about a decade because knowing it would trigger my eating disorder behavior in the past. I don’t remember what it was the last time I knew it, probably around 240-260, but that definitely wasn’t my highest weight. It was a lot higher about 2-3 years ago after I gained more weight due to chronic illness, probably around 300-320. My guess for a year ago when I really started my fitness journey is around 280.
When I made the other post I was thinking I’d be ready to weigh myself in a couple months. I also realized that in order to make sure I’m still in a good calorie deficit I would need to know my weight. I guessed it was somewhere between 180-200, and today when I weighed myself it was 188, so actually a pretty good estimate. I don’t even remember the last time I was under 200 pounds, definitely when I was still a teenager.
Anyway, I’m proud of myself for losing that much weight, but even more than that I’ve been able to recover from my eating disorder and now have a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and my body. I don’t know what my goal weight is yet. My original goal was to just to get out of having to wear plus sizes, and I’m down to size L and between a 12-14. I’m thinking 150 then see how I feel. I’m a 5’5 woman but I also have a pretty muscular frame and do strength training, so the higher end of normal will probably be a good place for me
