Basically, for the last 5 years or so I've watched the scale climb veeery very slowly. A pound every few weeks. Not eating too far above my limit but just enough. I didn't mind it, because I started at 125 and 5'7. Well. Now I'm 5'9 and 170. Hm. Not great. I would notice oop the scale has gone up again, but I'm not even fat! I'm still a perfectly healthy weight! It's fine and it doesn't matter.
Until now, for the very first time in my life, I'm classified as overweight. Oh the shock and horror. So I decided to do something about it for real this time. I half assedly tried in the past but there was nothing really holding me to it. I'd get bored and stop.
I have a very poor relationship with food. I'm constantly snacking and its usually sweet. I eat well past the point of fullness and even comfort. Before COVID, I was able to fight a lot of it off by just leading an active lifestyle. Marching band, intramural sports, going to the gym often and just for the fun of it. I could absolutely just eat whatever I wanted to and only barely watch the scale tick up.
So my new years resolution was to actually lose the weight. I made a plan, I'm sticking to it, and so far in 2021 I am down 6 lbs! For the first time ever it's actually worked! I'm really excited and my motivation is renewed.
Thanks to everyone on this sub for allowing me to lurk!
