My SW was 241 lbs my CW is 165 lbs. I've been doing pretty relaxed IF in 16:8 and 20:4 increments with clean eating (with occasional snacks) for about 14 months maybe? My SO is very tall and thin (6'2" maybe 150ish I think?) and wears a 30 or 32 in jeans. I needed pants to wear for work and all of my pants are size 16 and 14 in women's jeans and I swim in them even with a belt on.
So he offered for me to wear a pair of his old ones and at first I wanted to say "no way not happening" because when we first met I had tried the same pair on and it didn't even make it past my knees. It was embarrassing to say the least to see just how much larger I was than him.
But I have been working hard and knew that I have made progress and wanted to see just how much. So I grabbed a pair and pulled them on and buttoned them no issue.
I felt great and couldn't help but just smile like a dodo lol! I had been struggling with my confidence lately because of having to wear clothes that its obvious are more than 2 sizes too big! Making the decision to take my health seriously and work harder to be in shape made such a difference in my life.
Instead of waking up at 11 am groggy and feeling like shit because I only ate takeout the day before, I wake up at 6:30 am and take care of my dog, exercise, shower, clean, and make breakfast for my SO and I all before 9 am. I am more energized, productive, and overall happier. My body image isn't affecting my depression or anxiety. With all the positive life changes I've had the energy (and now time thanks to Covid19 ironically) I have felt happier lately than in the past 15 or so years.
