In March 2019, I bought a scale and stepped on it. I knew I gained weight, I didn't realize how much.
So I started dieting. I logged calories, and over the summer, quit alcohol for 100 days. I lost 30lbs.
Then October came. One of my friends stayed over for two weeks and I reached 100 days sober (which was the goal) and started drinking again. I partied, had fun, gave myself a week or two off. But then there was another party, another holiday, another week off.
I gained back weight. Not too much, enough for it to be noticeable. I lost 20 lbs in 10 months, and that's still something to be proud of.
So at 260lbs, the calories are being counted again, and the PSVR is dusted off for Beat Saber and Box VR so I can't use travel and the weather as an excuse to not exercise.
Thanks to this subreddit, I am more optimistic about starting again, and seeing the victory of the 20lbs I did lose, instead of the defeat of gaining 10lbs back and not losing 30lbs. I hope that if you have that victory, you'll focus on that instead of giving up. Because gaining some weight again isn't losing, it's just a temporary pause.
