I'm feeling quite emotional because I managed to lose 80 lbs. Again. Thanks to pregnancy i gained back my weight from the first time, but now i'm here to stay!
I lost 80 lbs but I gained a lot more, and I guess I want to tell people that it's possible - even for the second time!
What I gained:
-
i made a new habit of running and home workouts - does wonders for my mental health and back pain
-
i like my body again
-
i feel more confident out in the world
-
i don't fear my kid will lose me at an early age any more
These are just the main things. There's lots of other tiny things in every day life that I notice, some of them are:
-
sitting in the tub, I feel when I sit on a bone
-
i can cross my legs comfortably
-
i am always cold lol
-
i have a neck- and jawline
-
when I look in a mirror, I often still can't believe that it's me looking back
It's weird, I've always been "the fat one" throughout my school years and beyond. And sometimes I still catch myself thinking things like "oh if I drop into this chair it'll break" or "those teens are gonna make fun of me because i'm so fat". These thought patterns are hard to break, but they also help to remind me it's not like that any more.
I'll lose just a few more lbs then go into maintenance. Wish me luck! I failed before, but I feel things are different now.
