Hey! Long-time lurker here.
In the last few months, I've really challenged myself to try to clean up my eating habits. I'm a pretty heavy emotional eater - when things don't go my way I would always retreat to my snacks - milky way bars, Hot Cheetos, large smoothies, you name it. Also, during this pandemic, I got into a really bad habit of ordering out all the time (my own fault) whether it was Thai food, huge chipotle burritos, bubble tea, or Wendy's (oh god the Baconator combos really had me going). This was definitely not good for my wallet either.
I remember looking in the mirror in October and being disgusted with myself, confused about how I got to this point. I started by cutting out sugar, and slowly working my way to 19-hour intermittent fasts, 16-hour minimum which I found very sustainable for my lifestyle. After that, I replaced some of the foods I was eating with healthier alternatives like homemade salads.
As of today, I'm officially 31 pounds lighter - halfway to my goal weight. I haven't been this light since I was in college, which was quite a bit ago and it feels amazing. The difference is very visible and it was great to see my friends' reactions during my birthday this past weekend.
I know I have further to go, but reading the stories on here gave me the motivation to keep up with the clean eating and diet. I would love it if other people felt more comfortable in their body like I do now - so if I could do the same for somebody else that would literally warm my heart.
Thank you r/loseit. You rock.
