...and I am buying things because they fit “now” and they look pretty darn good.
There have been so many times since gaining weight that I’ve started a diet and failed. And failed miserably. But failing was never the problem. It was spending the following week after “failing” feeling miserable about myself and lack of willpower and eating everything in sight knowing that I’d start again Monday. Always Monday.
It took me almost 2 years to get to this point and I’m not going to pretend that every day was a piece of cake (there were actually pieces of cake on occasion) and I’m not exactly at goal.
But I’ve gone from a 20/22 to a 0/2 and if I can do it, anyone can.
Just find something that works for your life style. CICO with some IF thrown in on some days did it for me. I’m exercising now but that’s recent.
And while on it...any loss is a “win”. It helps to understand that “OK, fine, you gained 40 pounds in 6 months and 7 months later you’ve only lost 3”, but that’s 3 pounds less than you had 7 months ago and could you have lost more? Sure, but you didn’t and focusing on that won’t change anything. So be proud of any and all victories.
Things are not perfect now that I’ve lost the weight. I so, so wish my stomach was flat and my boobs were where they belong...but it’s not and my boobs are a bit further south than I’d like, but it is what it is an I deal with it as best I can.
The thing is, you’re not going to lose weight if you don’t keep trying. So just keep trying.
F/45/5’0” 230ish > 110 = 120 pounds
