So I'm 26F and have reached my heaviest ever weight of 95.2kg. This has been gained over 3 years since I started a sedentary office job. When I saw that on the scales I couldn't believe it, because honestly I didn't 'feel' that much heavier! It's only in photos now that I compare and realise, wow, I definitely have gained a lot - especially around my face.
Honestly, I never thought I had an unhealthy relationship with food. I don't eat tons of processed food, takeaways are rare, I don't drink sugary drinks, I don't eat cakes and chocolate every day, however, I suddenly realised that I was eating the same portion sizes as my bf, who is not only way more active but taller etc.
I think it was an important realisation for me that my love of food (and not just the 'wrong' foods) was equally as harmful as binging. At the end of the day, it's all calories. I do think mentally, living and cooking for another person (especially one who needs to eat a lot!) makes the process of trying to lose weight so much harder, even if they are supportive.
I've dieted in the past and like many people yo-yo'd, always ending up heavier again. This time, I'm keen to make it stick and try not to put so much pressure on myself to lose the weight quickly. After all, it took 3 years to gain!
I'm not overly active either. I do hour-long walks 3 times a week, but nothing that really pushes me - no doubt because being the size I am makes it incredibly unpleasant!
Anyone in a similar situation and willing to share how they lost the weight, just to give me some inspiration? Wishing I'd had this motivation at start of lockdown.
