i (female) have worn this smart watch for ages, and have paid little attention to the size i wear. when you buy it it comes with two pairs of adjustable belt like straps, one large and one small. although i’ve always used the smaller one, i think i must’ve begun using the 4th or 3rd hole closest to the watch, tight on my wrist.
after a few months shy of two years off an on CICO, i’m down from 192lbs to 137lbs (at 5”8), just two pounds away from my forever goal. but just a day or two ago i started remarking how loose it felt on me, even the second smallest hole was too big, almost coming loose in the shower. i used the smallest one and wanted to share my surprise victory.
i was ashamed of my weight and how it was hurting my health, yet at the same time i was still unaware of how different my body was then vs now. it’s taken a lot of work against my body dysmorphia to realize just how smaller i’ve gotten, and this watch thing was a big wake up call. sometimes my brain still doesn’t want to see any differences and tells me i’m still overweight and look the same, even though that’s far from the truth. my wrists are smaller, my thighs are almost skinny again. (but now i’m kinda “skinny fat” and need to work on toning somehow). these times are very stressful, so i’m thankful for the little moments of joy that i experience every so often. some of us track our loss in our belt loops, but i guess the same can be done with our watches.
