F/26/5'6 SW: 108kg (238 lbs) CW: 94.9kg (209 lbs) GW: 70kg (154 lbs)
Lockdown was not kind to my body. I’ve always been a little heavy, but coming out of a several month-long sedentary binge session, I’d gained 18 kg (about 40 pounds), putting me at my highest weight and lowest self-esteem ever.
After crying when I weighed myself (and again when I took measurements (and again when I weighed myself again)), I decided that something had to change. The gyms had just reopened, so I got myself a membership, started tracking calories, and (mostly) cut out take-out.
I’ve since lost 13 kg (about 28 lbs) and I’m working every day towards my goals.
On to the NSV!
This morning, I weighed in at my lowest weight so far but I was feeling pretty down on myself. With my pre-quarantine weight looming around the corner, I started thinking maybe I hadn’t looked as good then as I had thought if this is how I still look now.
But then the most delightful thing happened.
In the country I live in, we get these people who will come around selling fruits or berries or yogurt. In September I was buying fresh yogurt off this lady once or twice a week to make smoothies with (seriously it’s delicious and better than what you can buy in stores here), but I did some traveling and started going back into the office finally so I hadn’t seen her in a while.
Today Yogurt Lady rocked into the courtyard and as soon as she saw me the first thing she commented on was how much weight I’d lost and how good I looked. Y’all. I needed this. It felt so good to have my hard work validated and to be reminded that I see myself every day, so it can be hard to see the results – but they’re there!
