I've been lurking in this sub for months but this is my first post (and first post trying to link a pic, so bare with me)!
I've gotten down to this size a few times.. never from watching what I eat, just exercise or an active job. I'm by no means where I should be, this is just the regular "low weight" I get to before I go off the rails and balloon up again lol.
A few years back I was injured at work (broken bone/metal plates added).. I couldn't walk for about 4 months, plus another 3 months physical therapy.. The weight STACKED on. Once I was finally back on my feet (literally!) I started thinking about how to attack the extra pounds and lost a little, but then there was a car accident - I was back in surgery because the plates shifted and a screw popped out; I had finished PT in Feb 2019 and was headed back under the knife Oct 2019 and PT restarted in Dec.
All in all, I've had to reassess my game plan (or lack there of) and for the first time I'm looking to my diet instead of an "I go to the gym/run at work, that should be enough, right?" mentality while stuffing my face. After this last surgery I got to my highest recorded weight and somewhere around May I bought a new floor scale, fitbit, and food scale and set to it!
The NSV is this: I have all my "smaller" clothes hanging out in the bottom drawers cause I've been that small before, I'll get there again, right? I grabbed a pair of shorts a few weeks ago and tried to put them on.. Couldn't get the buttons done. Feeling crappy, I grabbed another pair (same size/different brand) and was cheered up a little, atleast I could wear these ones out, that's a small but hollow victory.. Flash to this weekend when I tried them again AND THEY WENT RIGHT UP. Buttons and everything!
