Today hits 100 days of me on my weightloss journey.
I have officially lost 15 pounds, which has been incredible for my 5'1" self. I have failed to lose weight more times than I can count, and I've tried everything from intermittent fasting to keto; the only consistency I had was returning to SAD (standard American diet).
This time it's different--this community taught me how to make sustainable changes and be consistent.
In 2013, I hosted an 8th grade graduation party at my house.
I wore a beautiful black dress that I felt absolutely gorgeous in, with silver sparkles and a belt. I walked into a room where my friends were sitting around talking about working out and dieting and I told them "oh, I don't workout!" I felt pretty and thought it was pretty great that I didn't have to put in any effort to look good. They retorted with "yah, I can tell".
That crushed me. The very next day, I downloaded myfitnesspal for the first time and cried.
Fast forward to today, and I now use cronometer and exercise to lose weight sutainably and feel better now than I ever have before. For the sake of old times, I logged into that old myfitnesspal account and saw that I had only ever inputed my weight from that terrible day: I was 127 pounds. I'm amazed at how fat little me felt, when I really was healthy! Kids can sure be cruel and mess up your mental health.
Today, as a junior in college, I weigh 126.6 pounds, and I'm sitting here in that beautiful black dress feeling more accomplished than I ever have in my whole entire life. Thank you, loseit.
