I‘m not even sure why I am posting this. Just maybe someone reads this and needs this today. Just like I needed to read a lot of posts here to keep going. I wasn’t too overweight to begin with, but I was unhappy. I had started a circle of lying to myself that I was okey with myself. That’s just the way I am. I was eating soo much junk. As a medical professional I knew I was harming myself. But I felt like I deserved it. When I reached an overweight BMI I started to do OMAD again. But also I changed my eating habits soooo much. Switched from processed meat/fastfood to mostly plantbased/vegetarian. Most amazing change. I love it. (After the withdrawal of fastfood was done) I lost 13 kg which brought my BMI from 25 to 20-something. My whole environment noticed. But I didn’t. I got so deep into self hatred I couldn’t see any difference. I lost 20% of my body weight. I should notice. But I couldn’t. Feeling fat and ugly can help you motivate yourself, but it’s distructive. I am slowing my weighloss and trying to maintain a little bit before losing those last stubborn couple of pounds. My goal is to see „ME“ and learn selflove right now. Only with self love will I be able to maintain a good lifestyle. Not to punish myself but to give myself good foods and kind thoughts to reward me. I am slowly getting there. It’s still a way to go, but what I‘m saying is: If you are also on your way: I see you. Be kind to yourself. Remember why you are doing this. Love yourself.
Side note: not an English native speaker… so be kind
