5'6" F SW: 217 CW: 194.6 GW: 135?
I live in Boston and it's, well, freezing. I have avoided buying a new coat for years. I bought one in 2017 when after gaining 20 pounds and it was an XL and I remember being upset as I was usually a large. Then, flash forward, two years, and I couldn't even zip the coat. I kept wearing it without zipping it for two years, refusing to accept the fact that I had gained weight and needed a new one (also, coats are expensive lol). Flash forward to this winter, I FINALLY bought a coat because I was freezing and it was ridiculous. But I only really bought it because it was $40 from Walmart and I knew if I didn't spend a lot of money on it then it didn't really "count".
Flash forward one more final time to today. I went to put on a coat while it's snowing to clean something off my balcony. I didn't want my new coat ($40 Walmart one) to get dirty because it's the one I usually wear, so I threw on my nicer old one that I couldn't zip - and what do you know, it zips! It fits and I could actually wear it out in public without it being too tight or anything! This is so huge, I feel like I am finally slowly becoming the person I was before I put on the weight - a happy, adventurous, and "light" person (hard to describe the feeling of "light", but I guess in in the sense of light-hearted and positive)
Anyways, CICO (and myself) got me here. I cannot suggest it enough for anyone struggling with where to start. Also, buy a food scale for solid foods!
