i can't say for sure how much i lost, because when i began working on losing weight, i was frankly too afraid to step on the scale and see how heavy i was. (i wore a 2XL/3XL). i haven't weighed myself this whole time, which presented a problem where i would be constantly thinking i'm gaining weight for 2 weeks and then i would notice "hey this article of clothing is too big for me now" and then i'd feel good for a week about losing weight, then immediately go back to worrying that i've gained.
this is just too much for my anxiety anymore, so today i decided it was finally time to see how much i weigh. i know just based on my clothing size that i've made a lot of progress, but being that i didn't weigh myself at the start and haven't until today, i had no clue how far i'd come. i told myself that so long as it's on the lower end of the 200s, i'll have made a significant amount of progress and i can feel good about myself, just knowing it doesn't start with a 3.
it was 161, which according to google, for my height, is in the higher end for my 'ideal weight'. obviously i know all that is bullshit but still, it feels good to see my weight next to my height and see that for the first time in my life i'm no longer classified as overweight. i'm not done losing yet just cause google says i'm no longer overweight, tho. i don't have a number in mind, but i know i've got a decent bit more to go before i'll be content to just maintain rather than lose. i just wanted to share tho, since i don't really have anyone in my life to share the accomplishment with who i think will truly understand what it means
