I (F31) have been overweight almost my entire life. Despite that I’m somewhat in denial about how overweight I am. I’m one of those who carry most of my weight in my lower body and generally have a pretty slim/sharp face and weight gain isn’t that noticeable. I’ve always been a size UK10/12 in my early twenties but in the past 5 years I gained a lot of weight and ballooned to a large UK14/small UK16. The weight gain was quite gradual and like many I didn’t really notice it till I couldn’t fit in any of my clothes (and being in denial meant I was buying size 12 clothes eventhough I couldn’t fit in them). I travel a lot for work (pre-pandemic) and spend at least half the month traveling which for me means lots of eating (buffet breakfast, dining out for lunch and dinner) and interrupted workouts (after 5-6 hours travelling the last thing you want to do is hit the gym). I have also always had a phobia of weighing myself and prefer to be in denial about how heavy I am. The last time I weighed myself was a year ago as a requirement before taking a chopper for work. I weighed 78kg then! Well since the pandemic struck, ive been working from home (coming to 5 months now) and my work has banned travelling. The change in lifestyle has resulted in me losing weight. I’m eating at home everyday (I’m not particularly on any diet but generally just try to eat healthier) and have plenty of time to work out (I average 5 workouts a week). The thing is I am still fearful about weighing myself. I guess I’m just worried that when I step on the scale I’ll find that I barely lost any weight and be completely demotivated. I’m currently monitoring my weight lost by trying on my clothes and I find that I can now fit comfortably in my size 12 clothes. My ultimate goal is to be able to fit in size 10 again. Perhaps I’ll finally weigh myself then.
