I’ve only now really realized just how much weight I’ve lost and I can’t believe it
I’m f21 5’7” and at my heaviest I believe I was at least 195-200lbs. The heaviest I saw on the scale was 192lb. That day I realized I was no longer just overweight… I was obese. I was so scared after seeing that number that I didn’t step on the scale again for a long, long time. I couldn’t bare the thought of stepping on it again and possibly seeing my weight start with a 2. I definitely had gotten heavier before and after that though, it was clear just from looking in the mirror.
I currently weigh 152lb. My family pointed out my weight loss the other day and — I’m not exactly sure why I never did this before — I actually thought about how much weight I’d lost. ~40-50lb! Holy shit
I see the little changes on my scale every day (I finally had the guts to weigh myself again some months ago), usually down but sometimes up. Despite seeing these consistent changes, they all seemed so little to me and it never really dawned on me just how much they all added up to together. Those tiny numbers I see every day become such a huge change. I cannot believe that I have lost ~40-50lbs. It doesn’t even seem real, like, when did this happen!?
It feels like just yesterday I was the heaviest I’d ever been. It feels like I’ve only lost a few lbs since all I ever see are these tiny changes on the scale. But looking at it altogether, at the bigger picture… wow. It’s wild to me to actually think about just how much weight that is and in the blink of an eye (at least in my mind) it’s just… gone. I lost it. I did what I thought was impossible. It feels surreal to think that I was so much heavier than this, that there was an extra ~40-50lbs on me that are just gone now.
I still have a ways to go before I am where I want to be, but I can truly tell myself now that it is possible — I can get there just like I got here. Do yourself a favour and take a minute to look at the bigger picture if you haven’t yet. Those little numbers add up to something and you may not have even realized it. Be proud of yourself, I guarantee you’re doing so much better than you think! It’s so easy to get caught up in the little things; I did and it took me a long time to finally see just what I am capable of :)
