Lots of small victories in the last 2 months I want to share with someone.

Two months ago My grandmother died which resulted in a 2 week shit show of repressed emotions and whatnot. It ended with me realising and just breaking down and crying at what I had become physically. That day (I think 15th June) has been a turning point.

My parents and my sister consoled me and told me not to lose hope and that it will get better. From the next day my loseit journey started. Till now I have lost almost 10 kgs (significant water weight included). Here are some of my small victories:

1. Biggest of all. My whole family seems to have shifted to a overall healthier lifestyle. Better food is cooked. Less food is cooked. We enjoy the amazing food even more and have started enjoying the "everyday boring food" much more.
2. I started going on long walks every morning with my sister and playing badminton for half an hour. Doing this everyday has helped me have a better relationship with her. We were mean siblings and now we are sort of friendly siblings.
3. I have recovered a lot of my stamina that I had lost. I didn't feel winded carrying a 20 kg sack of flour up two flights of stairs. Before I would get out of breath after simply walking up without any extra weight.
4. I have lost a few inches everywhere leading to looser and more comfortable clothing.
5. My favourite: I stopped getting inner thigh chafing. Inner thigh chafing sucks!
6. I have overall better health, mental and physical. We walk without any earphones so it's either talking or silence, which seems to have improved both my and my sister's mood.
7. We got new shiny badminton rackets and shuttle cocks. We got an expensive plastic shuttle cock and it simply won't break. It's getting tiring lol.
8. I have improved my food habits immensely. I don't feel like I am starving at all and I am still eating all the foods I love, just less frequently and smaller portion sizes.
9. I have started regaining my confidence and don't feel like a total slob.
10. I don't feel constantly tired.

PS: I probably missed some stuff but it's a fairly good list of amazing stuff that's happening to me.
