Relatively speaking this might not be a huge accomplishment, but I'm so proud of myself
A month ago I (27/f/5'9) was at my heaviest ever: 169lbs. Which in reality is not the worst spot to be in, totally aware of that. But I spent my whole life watching my dad struggle with his weight and never managed to win the battle. I didnt want to see myself down the same path. I got married in October and weighed 158 (quick math; I put on 10 pounds in five months because for the first time in two years I wasn't trying to "fit into my wedding dress") Last month on March 18 I decided I needed to take control. My bad eating habits consisted of way too much snacking, occasional binging, and living in perpetual fear of being hungry so over eating "just in case". Cut to no bread, no sugar, no pasta, no caffeine, basically stop eating shitty processed foods and focus on protein, produce and a small amount of good carbs, with Friday and Saturday being cheat days where I dont totally go off the deep end, but work on moderation. Today I broke the 160 barrier! 159lbs!!! I'm so proud of myself and so encouraged to realize that if I actually work at it it can change instead of just being mad that the pounds arent magically floating away while I change none of my habits.
Anyways, just wanted to share my good news since my (very) supportive husband is still asleep, and my cat was scared away by my happy dance getting off the scale. I've been a lurker here for a while and all of your efforts are such inspiration and motivation, thanks guys and gals!
