No flair, but 29 F, 5’4”, and SW of 215 or so. I started counting calories in September after a rough break up. I got a Peloton bike at the end of the September and I’ve been working out everyday, whether it be a guided walk or yoga or cardio or strength, for 3 weeks. I haven’t binged for a month after struggling with a binge eating disorder since I was 20. I’m walking 8,000-10,000 steps per day to stay active.
I’m down 14 lbs and feeling amazing. My mental health is better, not perfect, but the endorphins are real, y’all. I feel in control of my body, over my food, for the first time in nearly 10 years. I lost a bunch of weight between high school and college using CICO and running, so I knew what I needed to do. But for 10 years I never could commit. I finally did because I didn’t want to be 35 and 220 lbs anymore. I’m so happy I did.
I’m dropping inches. I’m getting healthier. I have a better relationship with food that doesn’t include restrictions just moderation. I feel strong again working out consistently.
For anyone out there struggling, I hear you, I feel you. I WAS you back in August wishing I didn’t exist. But trust me when I say, keep looking for that motivation for yourself. No one can make you change but yourself. And once you commit, it is worth it. It isn’t easy. My muscles are sore and I’m sleepy but I need to walk my dog and workout before a 9 hour work day. I still want to eat all the pizza and all of the breakfast tacos, but I’m waiting until I can control my urges around those things. But it’s worth it! And you have to find what works for you. I tried to just eat clean and mindful, and I can’t. CICO and working out works for me, but I know it isn’t for everyone.
I never thought I’d make a post here, but y’all have been an inspiration over the years even if I didn’t start until recently.
