If any of you remember my previous post, I posted about how I lost 92lbs, from 300 to 208. As a recap, I have always been a bigger guy and struggled with my weight through my teen years and into my years as an adult. Now I am 30 years old and in the best shape of my life.
Then, COVID happened. I wouldn't say it impacted me that much, I work from home now (yes, I know how blessed and lucky I am to still have a paycheck). But that came with its own challenges. Like many life long obese people, I struggle with binge eating. I say struggle in current tense because I still have episodes here and there. I gained a bit when lockdowns started to happen, upset my workouts were limited to home and just really stress eating for the first bit. Well, I reigned it in, got back on a meal plan and now have finally in the first time since I was a little guy entered the 100s!
Today I weighed in at 199.7, I am sure I will fluctuate out in the next day or so, but looking at the trajectory of my weight, I will easily be in the 190s in the next few weeks without seeing 200 ever again. My ultimate goal is 185, I am pretty muscular since I was lifting pretty consistently 5 times a week for at least an hour (usually 2 hours weights and cardio).
When lockdowns happened, the first thought that came to my mind is how am I going to maintain weight. But here I am. I had enough self control to take hold of my eating and get myself back on track and into the lowest weight that I can remember (honestly, I was probably 200lbs when I was 14, so I literally cannot remember the last time I saw a 1 at the start of my weight).
I just needed to share this, I am just really proud of myself that I am able to control my eating while still not being overly restrictive.
I hope all of you achieve your goals, don't let stress get the better of you!
