A month ago today I woke up and decided to weigh myself. I was feeling insecure and embarrassed and could no longer stand for my fiancé to see me naked. I needed to face reality and the scales were ruthless. I was over 200lbs for the first time ever in my life and 0.6 BMI points away from being obese.
I could make excuses for it - 2 pregnancies with big babies, depression induced binging. But my reasons for getting there wouldn't spare me from the health risks of obesity.
My doctor said my blood work was good and I felt guilty that my body was still trying to carry on despite how I've been treating it. I stepped off the scales and started dieting right away.
Initially I tried OMAD with 800 calories a day. I lost 8lbs in a week but I quickly realised that it wasn't healthy or sustainable. After that I switched to 3 meals a day and 1200-1500 calories, started walking more and felt much better.
This week I've started using a rowing machine and some dumbbells for exercise. I'd like to get a bar for deadlifts too at some point.
I feel like I am slowly conquering my food addiction. I weigh out my portions and count my calories. If I want a treat I will let myself have it as long as it fits in my calories. I want to make this something I can keep up for life.
