I have a healthy bmi! (Lost 68 lbs.)

Started about two years ago at 93.9 kilos (207 lbs) at 159 cm (5’2 1/2”). My bmi was 37.14

I’ve lost weight before, and gained it all back, + 50 lbs. It seemed like an endless mountain I’d have to climb to even get to a healthy weight, much less my goal weight. The last two years have been extremely hard, I lost everything in my life. My apartment, my dog and then finally my boyfriend. (Neither of them died, just aren’t in my life anymore.) I plateaud hardcore for a solid year, since food is my coping mechanism.

But January 1, not as a resolution, but coincidence, was a turning point. I was completely sick of feeling like crap all the time. I’d gained some weight back at that point, and was overeating, overdrinking and smoking weed every single day.

I quit cold turkey, and, with a few bumps here and there, have lost a whopping 36 lbs since.

As of Tuesday, I am in the healthy bmi range. Only just, and I’m not comfortable enough just yet to post pictures. It was at times the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and gradually became easier, and harder at the same time. But fucking hell, I made it. And I’m kicking ass.
