I finally built up the courage to weigh in for the first time in six months-ish (since around Christmas anyway). 240lb at 5'9". That's not good. My starting weight in January 2019 was 253lb though, so I'm really glad I checked in before I let myself get back to that point. I've noticed I'm becoming more breathless, more tired, my blood pressure is creeping back up (and I had managed to get it to a really good stage!)...
My lowest weight was 215lb in December last year. Since then I've gone through a lot of stress (school, work, dating, seasonal depression, you name it...) and have put 25lb back on. I'd like to say that I'm shocked, but I can't. Nobody would be surprised to hear that baking two sugary cakes every single day leads to pretty rapid weight gain, especially when there's nobody else around to eat said cakes.
I am obviously disappointed, but I don't feel disappointed in myself. I'm really relieved that I've managed to hit the brakes before reaching (or surpassing) my highest weight. So today is my reset day! I lost all the weight doing keto last time, so I think I'll try it again, or else the blood sugar diet. Walking (mostly uphill) for half an hour a day until the gyms reopen, and lots of yoga.
In some ways, I'm quite grateful for this wake-up call. Who knows how I could have ended up without it.
