I saw the 270's for the first time in years today.

I've been a non-posting member of this sub for over a year. I always knew that it was possible for me to lose weight but its always been something that I would take seriously for a couple weeks and have one bad day and that would be it. On April 2nd, I had a yearly check-up with my doctor and saw 306 lbs on the scale. I wanted to curl up in a ball and start crying right there. I've never been ashamed about my weight, as a kid growing up, I was always very athletic (especially for my weight) but seeing that 3 at the beginning of my weight hit me hard. I decided that day that I would open up my old MFP app and begin counting calories. I decided that every other "diet" I've ever tried I failed at because it was too restrictive. This time I began just counting my calories to see how much I was actually eating. Just the thought that every single thing that I ate or drank was being logged was enough to help sway some of my food habits. I realized that I wasn't hungry right before bed, I was bored. I realized that I could eat my chik-fil-a sandwich and a fry as long as I fit it into my days allotted calories. It has not been easy, but I have learned that I don't need 2 sandwiches and a large fry to be full for 5 hours until my next meal. Today at work, we had a biometric screen done for our insurance and I stepped on the scale. I saw 279.6 staring back at me. I am ecstatic and feel so much pride in what I've been able to accomplish in just over 2 months. I'm a long way from where I want to be, but I'm a lot closer than I was just two short months ago.
