Complicated background: I was overweight my whole life, but I was involved in sports so it “kinda” kept my weight at bay. As I got older and sports became more competitive in middle/high school I stopped playing but nothing in my eating changed and I quickly ballooned. Sometime in college I decided enough was enough and I lost ~145lb in 14 months. I maintained that weight for about 3 years until my mental health took a nose dive. I was diagnosed with binge eating disorder and in the course of 10 months I gained all 145lb back. I’m down about 80lb now.
Now to the weird part: I remember vividly how I looked the first time I lost weight and I was SO much fatter at 210lb than I am now. Even weirder, I’ve been bouncing between 190lb - 220lb due to binge eating, and for some reason right now at 210lb my clothes fit better than they did at 190lb...
I haven’t touched a weight in I dont know how long so I dont know if it can be muscle... but I have no idea how I look better and my clothes fit better at a higher weight when I’m not really focusing on exercise, just mainly losing through a calorie deficit right now.
It’s messing with my mind so much and I dont know if I should believe the scale or what I’m seeing in the mirror.
