I’m a month in to my journey and wanted say hi
I’m at the start of my weightless journey, and I guess I just wanted to say hi. This community has been such a motivation and I’m so grateful to the people who are so open with their experiences.
I’m f 103kg (227lb), 162cm. My goal is 66kg (146lb); I want to lose 37kg.
I’m coming out of 10 years of emotional eating and binging. In the last month my eating habits have changed dramatically. I am still indulging in food and (alcoholic) drinks that I enjoy I’m just having WAY less of it and I’m doing it with clarity of mind seeking to enjoy myself, not fill a void. I’ve already lost 3kg.
When I was tracking food before breaking my emotional eating cycle I was eating 2,500 - 3,500 calories a day. I’m now eating 1,500 - 2,400 calories a day.
I would categorise my lifestyle as ‘sedentary’, but I’m on the move a lot with my toddler. I am slowly incorporating exercise back into my life (in 2016 I ran a half marathon, I’d like to do that again this year). I also love doing strength training, so that’s coming back 10min at a time.
Right now the hardest thing is consistency. When I focus on eating as little as possible to drop weight quickly, I will inevitably binge. But, I think I’m still doing the right thing by aiming to get control back of my food impulses without depriving myself. For example, I’m now eating 3 meals a day and maybe 1 snack. Instead of getting food whenever and however I can. If I feel hungry, I wait for the next meal and consider what I can do next time to feel more full.
I’ve also started weighing myself every day and am surprised at how much better it helps my perception of my weight. It really takes the stigma out of it.
Anyhu, I just wanted to say hi. I’m following the advice I saw on here and I’m not telling anyone about my weightless goal. But now I’m breaking it to share with you… whoops.
